DuraSafe Case for iPad PRO 9.7 in 2016 - Slim Magnetic Trifold

In this review the DuraSafe Case for iPad PRO 9.7 in 2016 is judged primarily on fit, protection and daily usability; it is best for anyone who wants a slim, protective cover that keeps the iPad usable without removal. The case delivers a precise fit for the A1673/A1674/A1675 lineup and offers a soft-touch PU front, a translucent back to show the device, and a magnetic trifold that supports automatic sleep/wake - the single biggest reason to buy is the combination of full access plus built-in multi-angle stand and auto sleep/wake in a lightweight profile.

Key Features

• Exact model fit: Designed for iPad PRO 9.7 2016 models so cut-outs and clickable tabs give uninterrupted access to cameras, speakers, ports and buttons without removing the case.
• Slim protective shell: Premium PU leather front and soft microfiber interior protect against scratches and abrasion while keeping the overall profile lightweight.
• Translucent back: A clear rear panel preserves the look of the iPad while still protecting against fingerprints and corner damage.
• Multi-angle stand: Built-in trifold stand supports multiple viewing and typing angles and uses magnets to hold the device steady while in use.
• Auto sleep/wake: Integrated magnets activate the iPad sleep/wake feature, helping save battery when the lid is closed and resuming instantly on open.
• Easy on/off installation: Snap-on design makes it straightforward to fit or remove the iPad while keeping it secured for daily handling.

Who It's For

This case is ideal for iPad PRO 9.7 owners who want a low-profile, protective cover that retains the tablet's original look thanks to the translucent back and who frequently use the device for video, reading or typing thanks to the multi-angle stand. It suits students, commuters and light-professional users who value immediate access to ports and cameras and who prefer a soft-touch exterior instead of a hard shell.

Users who need heavy-duty military-grade protection or waterproofing should look elsewhere, and those who require a built-in pencil holder or kickstand with vertical portrait support may find this trifold design less suitable. Also confirm your exact model number before purchase to avoid fitment issues.
