The single biggest reason to consider this case is its balance of fit and protection: it is expressly designed for the various iPad 2, 3 and 4 models and offers a snug fit, full access to ports and a soft interior that protects the screen and back while preserving the iPad's look through a translucent back. It is not for newer iPad sizes, so confirm your model before buying.

Key Features

• Model compatibility: Precise cut-outs and a tailored fit mean the case provides full access to cameras, speakers, ports and buttons without removal for listed iPad 2, 3 and 4 9.7 in models.

• Translucent back: A clear TPU back preserves the iPad's original appearance while offering shock and abrasion protection.
• Dual-angle stand: Built-in dual-angle viewing/typing stand improves comfort for watching video, typing and browsing with hands-free stability.

Who It's For

This case is best for owners of older 9.7 in iPad 2, iPad 3 or iPad 4 models who want a lightweight cover that still delivers reliable protection and functionality. Users who value a stylish pattern like the leopard print and a translucent back to show the iPad will find it especially appealing.
