Key Features

• Translucent hard back: A frosted transparent back preserves the tablet's look while resisting fingerprints and showing model details when needed.
• Dual-angle stand: Built-in folding angles allow comfortable typing and hands-free viewing for video, reading and web browsing.
• Auto sleep/wake: Magnetic closure supports the iPad smart sleep/wake function so the screen sleeps when closed and wakes when opened, saving battery and making use seamless.
• Durable materials: Premium PU leather on the cover adds a refined feel and added edge protection without adding weight.

Who It's For

This case suits commuters, students and casual users who want protection without a bulky folio or heavy shell. The slim, translucent design is ideal for those who prefer to retain the tablet look while protecting the rear and screen and who appreciate the convenience of a two-angle stand and smart cover magnets.
