DuraSafe Cases for iPad 9.7 in 2017 2018 - Protective TriFold Cover

In this review the DuraSafe Cases for iPad 9.7 in models from 2017 and 2018 is assessed for everyday use. The bottom line: this case is best for owners of iPad 9.7 in (5th and 6th gen) who want straightforward protection, a reliable Auto Sleep/Wake function and a usable stand without added bulk. The fit and precise cutouts make it a practical daily cover, and the mix of a PU leather front with a translucent PC back balances protection with a slim profile.

Key Features

• Perfect Compatibility: Designed specifically for iPad 9.7 in 2017 (5th gen A1822/A1823) and 2018 (6th gen A1893/A1954), it ensures a secure fit and correct access to ports and buttons.
• Auto Sleep/Wake: The built in sleep/wake function preserves battery life by turning the iPad on and off when the lid is opened or closed.
• TriFold Stand: The tri fold front converts to two stable viewing positions, useful for video, reading or a low-angles typing position.
• Full Protection: Anti scratch PU leather front combined with a translucent hard PC back provides impact resistance and surface protection without too much weight.
• Precise Cutouts: Cutouts for camera, speakers and ports keep the iPad fully usable while inside the case so you do not need to remove it for routine tasks.

Who It's For

The case is ideal for iPad owners who need a tidy, protective solution that keeps the device functional: commuters, students and home users who value the TriFold Stand for media and occasional typing. It is also a good pick for anyone who wants automatic sleep/wake convenience to extend battery life.

Users who need heavy duty drop protection, integrated keyboard functionality or water resistance should look elsewhere. Likewise, people with iPad sizes other than the 9.7 in 2017/2018 models must verify the model number on the back of the device before purchasing.
