DuraSafe Cases for iPad 9.7 Inch 5/6 Gen & Air 1/2 - Slim Folio

In this review the DuraSafe case is evaluated for owners of the iPad 9.7 in models (5th/6th gen 2017/2018) and iPad Air 1 and Air 2. The bottom line: this folio cover is best for users who want a slim, full-front-and-back protective case with a built-in stand and automatic sleep/wake, and who prioritize a premium soft-touch finish and precise cut-outs that leave all ports and cameras accessible. It offers sensible protection and daily convenience without adding bulk, though buyers should confirm their exact iPad model before purchasing.

Key Features

• Model Compatibility: Designed specifically for iPad 9.7 in 5th/6th Gen and iPad Air 1/Air 2 so the cut-outs match cameras, speakers, ports and buttons.
• Slim Folio Profile: Full front and back protection in a lightweight folio that keeps the device covered without excessive bulk.
• Materials: Premium PU leather exterior with a soft microfiber interior protects against scratches, fingerprints and abrasion.
• Dual-Angle Stand: Built-in dual-angle viewing and typing stand provides comfortable positions for typing, watching videos and reading.
• Smart Sleep/Wake: Integrated magnet automatically wakes or sleeps the iPad when the cover is opened or closed to save battery life.
• Secure Fit: Easy snap-on installation and precise cut-outs allow full access to controls while the case remains installed.

Who It's For

This case suits iPad owners who want a balance of low profile protection and functional convenience: students, commuters and casual media viewers who need a simple folio with a stable stand and automatic sleep/wake. The soft-touch exterior and printed design will appeal to anyone who cares about style as well as protection.

It is less suitable for users needing heavy-duty drop protection, ruggedized corner armor, or an integrated keyboard. Also, buyers should check the iPad model guide image carefully and select the correct model to avoid fitment issues.

Our Verdict

The DuraSafe folio is a practical, value-focused choice for iPad 9.7 in and Air owners who want a slim, attractive cover that protects front and back while preserving access to all features.
