In this review the DuraSafe Cases for iPad 9.7 in (2018 6th gen and 2017 5th gen) is judged as a strong choice for owners who want everyday protection without adding bulk. The case's single biggest selling point is a blend of a slim, soft-touch front cover with a translucent back that lets the iPad show through while guarding against scratches and corner damage. Fit and cut-outs are accurate for the supported models, and the smart sleep/wake magnet plus dual-angle stand make it a practical daily carry option.

• Auto sleep/wake: Integrated magnet enables automatic sleep and wake of the iPad to help conserve battery life.

Who It's For

This case is aimed at iPad 9.7 in owners who want a protective everyday cover that remains thin and easy to use. Students, commuters and casual media viewers will appreciate the dual-angle stand and the auto sleep/wake convenience that lengthens battery life.
