DuraSafe Cases for iPad 9.7 in - Slim Watercolor Flowers Case

In this review the DuraSafe Cases for iPad 9.7 in (2018 6th gen and 2017 5th gen) is evaluated for everyday users who want reliable protection without bulk. The biggest reason to pick this case is its balance of slim, lightweight design with practical protection and convenience features: a soft-touch PU leather front, translucent TPU back that shows off the iPad, and a built-in dual-angle stand with an auto sleep/wake magnet. It installs easily and gives full access to ports, cameras and buttons while keeping the device safe from scratches, slips and minor drops.

Key Features

• Exact model fit: Precisely cut for iPad 9.7 in 2018 (6th gen A1893/A1954) and 2017 (5th gen A1822/A1823) models so controls and cameras remain fully accessible without removing the case.
• Slim profile: Ultra slim and lightweight construction preserves the tablet's feel while adding scratch and abrasion protection.
• Materials: Soft-touch PU leather exterior and microfiber interior protect the display and reduce fingerprints while the translucent TPU back shows the iPad finish.
• Dual-angle stand: Built-in stand supports two stable viewing angles for typing or watching video, improving comfort during long use.
• Smart sleep/wake: Integrated magnet provides automatic sleep/wake function to save battery life and keep the iPad secure when closed.
• Easy installation: Snap-on design makes it quick to attach or remove and the case holds firmly when closed.

Who It's For

This case suits students, commuters and home users who want a protective yet lightweight cover for an iPad 9.7 in 2018 or 2017 model and value a built-in stand and auto sleep/wake. The floral printed design is aimed at users who prefer a stylish, decorative option that still shows the tablet through the translucent back.

Those who need heavy-duty, military-grade drop protection or a folio with extra storage pockets should look elsewhere; this case prioritizes slimness and everyday protection rather than extreme impact resistance. Also verify your exact iPad model before ordering to ensure correct fit.
