DuraSafe Case for iPad PRO 12.9 2nd Gen - Slim Clear Paris Night

Our review of the DuraSafe Case for iPad PRO 12.9 2nd Gen (2017) finds it best suited for users who want a slim, stylish cover that preserves the tablet's look while offering everyday protection. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a translucent hard back that shows the iPad design and a soft-touch PU front that keeps the device pocketable and comfortable to handle. Installation is simple, the fit is precise for A1670/A1671 models, and the smart sleep/wake magnet adds a practical energy-saving feature that works reliably.

Key Features

• Exact model fit: Designed specifically for iPad PRO 12.9 2nd Gen (2017) so cut-outs for cameras, speakers and ports are precise for A1670 and A1671 variants.
• Translucent back: A printed clear PC back preserves the original look of the iPad while resisting scratches and fingerprints.
• Soft-touch front: Premium PU leather exterior with microfiber interior protects the screen from abrasion while feeling comfortable to hold.
• Multi-angle stand: Built-in folding stand supports multiple viewing and typing angles to reduce strain during long typing or video sessions.
• Auto sleep/wake: Integrated magnet reliably triggers the iPad's sleep/wake function to help conserve battery when the cover is closed.
• Lightweight protection: Slim profile and shock-resistant materials guard against everyday bumps, slips and minor drops without adding bulk.

Who It's For

This case is ideal for iPad owners who prioritize a low-profile cover that retains the tablet's aesthetics while adding practical daily protection and convenience features like sleep/wake and a multi-angle stand. It suits students, professionals who travel light, and anyone who wants a neat typing or viewing angle without a heavy folio.

Those who need heavy-duty corner protection or an integrated keyboard should look elsewhere, since this slim design trades maximal impact defense for a sleeker, lighter feel. Also check the model number carefully before purchasing to avoid fitment issues.
