Key Features

• Perfect Compatibility: Designed specifically for iPad 9.7 in 2018 (6th Gen A1893/A1954) and 2017 (5th Gen A1822/A1823), the case provides a 100% fit for those model numbers.

Who It's For

The case is best suited for owners of the iPad 9.7 in models listed on the back of the device who want a slim folio with a decorative printed back and reliable everyday protection. It is a good option for students, commuters and casual users who need a stand for typing and video viewing and who prefer a lightweight cover that supports the sleep/wake feature.
