DuraSafe Case for iPad PRO 9.7 / iPad 9.7 6th 5th Gen - Slim Folio

In this review the DuraSafe Case for iPad PRO 9.7 and compatible iPad 9.7 6th/5th Gen, Air 1/2 models is judged on fit, protection and everyday usability. The bottom line: this slim folio delivers solid front and back protection with precise cutouts and a reliable sleep/wake magnet, making it a practical pick for owners who want a tidy, lightweight cover that preserves access to cameras, ports and buttons without removing the case.

Key Features

• Exact fit: Designed specifically for iPad 9.7 2018/2017, Air 1/2 and PRO 9.7 models so users get precise cutouts for cameras, speakers and ports without interference.
• Full folio protection: A PU leather exterior and soft scratch-free interior provide complete front and back protection while keeping the tablet slim.
• Corner impact guards: AirBag corner protection helps absorb shocks and reduces the risk of damage from drops and knocks.
• Multi-angle stand: The built-in foldable stand supports several viewing and typing angles for watching video, reading or light productivity without additional accessories.
• Auto sleep/wake: Integrated magnets enable automatic sleep and wake when closing or opening the cover, which helps conserve battery life and keeps the device secure when not in use.
• Lightweight build: TPU back cover with premium PU leather keeps weight low while defending against scratches, fingerprints and everyday wear.

Who It's For

This case is best for iPad owners who want a neat, protective folio with practical everyday features: precise cutouts, multi-angle stand and an auto sleep/wake cover. It suits students, commuters and casual tablet users who prioritize a balance of protection and portability.

It is less suitable for users who need ruggedized military-grade protection or heavy-duty outdoor use, and those who want integrated keyboard functionality should look for a folio that includes a keyboard rather than this slim cover.
