DuraSafe Case for iPad Pro 12.9 3rd Gen - Slim Multicolor Cubes

Our review of the DuraSafe Case for iPad Pro 12.9 3rd Gen finds it best suited for owners who want a slim, everyday protective cover that preserves the iPad's look while supporting Apple Pencil pairing and wireless charging. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a translucent back that shows the iPad and an ultra slim PU leather front that includes an auto sleep/wake magnet - this keeps the device protected without adding bulk. Fit and design are consistent with customer feedback, and the case provides easy access to cameras, speakers, ports and buttons.

Key Features

• Exact model fit: Designed specifically for iPad Pro 12.9 in 3rd Gen models, it ensures reliable alignment with ports and cutouts so the device snaps in cleanly.
• Pencil pair and charge support: The open-side design preserves magnetic attachment and wireless charging for the Apple Pencil so users can store and charge the Pencil without removing the case.
• Auto sleep/wake: Built-in magnets activate automatic sleep and wake when the cover is opened or closed, helping conserve battery life during everyday use.
• Slim protective profile: A premium PU leather front and soft microfiber interior provide scratch and abrasion protection while keeping overall thickness low for easy handling.
• Translucent back: The clear rear panel lets the iPad design remain visible, balancing protection with a minimal aesthetic.
• Dual-angle stand: The folio cover folds into two stable angles for typing and viewing, improving comfort for long sessions of web browsing or video.

Who It's For

This case is ideal for iPad Pro 12.9 in 3rd Gen owners who want a lightweight, stylish cover that still offers full access to features and maintains Pencil convenience. It works well for students, professionals and casual media consumers who value a neat balance between protection and a low-profile look.

Those who need heavy-duty, military-grade drop protection or who own a different iPad model should look elsewhere, since the case is explicitly tailored for the 2018 12.9 in iPad Pro family and is not compatible with iPad Pro 11 models.
