In this review the DuraSafe Case for iPad Pro 12.9 3rd Gen is assessed as a practical, protection-first cover for owners of the 2018 iPad Pro models. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of an ultra slim profile with reliable protection: it shields corners and the screen while remaining light and usable with the Apple Pencil magnetic pairing and wireless charge capability. The reviewer found it especially useful for people who want a neat, stylish case that does not interfere with everyday use or the sleep/wake function.

Key Features

• Exact model fit: Precisely designed for iPad Pro 12.9 in 3rd Gen models so ports, cameras and buttons remain fully accessible without removing the case.
• Pencil compatibility: Open-side design supports magnetic attachment and wireless charging of the Apple Pencil while the iPad stays protected.
• Materials and finish: Soft-touch PU leather exterior and microfiber interior protect the display from scratches while keeping a premium feel in hand.
• Auto sleep/wake: Built-in magnet provides automatic sleep and wake when opening and closing the cover to help conserve battery life.
• Dual-angle stand: Integrated dual-angle viewing and typing positions make typing and media viewing comfortable and steady.

Who It's For

The case is best for owners of the 12.9 in iPad Pro 3rd Gen (2018) who value a slim, stylish cover that still offers real protection and keeps full functionality including Pencil attachment. It suits students, professionals and light travelers who want a tidy profile in a soft-touch finish and the convenience of auto sleep/wake.

It is not for users of other iPad sizes or newer generation 12.9 in models; the listing warns it is not compatible with iPad Pro 11 2020 and similar variants, so buyers with different models should look for the correct fit elsewhere.
