DuraSafe Cases for iPad 9.7 inch Old Model 2 3 4 Gen Case - Black

Our review of the DuraSafe Cases for iPad 9.7 inch Old Model finds it best suited to owners of iPad 2, 3 or 4 who need fuss-free protection and a reliable stand. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a slim, anti-scratch PU leather front and a translucent PC back that provides everyday protection without adding bulk, while keeping the automatic sleep/wake feature. For anyone who wants precise cutouts, lightweight shock protection, and a simple multi-angle stand, this case delivers a practical balance of form and function.

Key Features

• Perfect Compatibility: Designed specifically for iPad 2, iPad 3 and iPad 4 9.7 in models so the fit and ports line up without modification.
• Auto Sleep/Wake Function: The built in magnetic cover supports automatic sleep and wake for quick power savings when the lid is closed or opened.
• TriFold Stand Feature: The tri fold front folds into two stable positions that suit both viewing and typing needs for everyday use.
• Full Protection: A PU leather front and polycarbonate back provide anti-scratch coverage and modest shock resistance while remaining lightweight.
• Precise Cutouts: Cutouts and molding allow unobstructed access to ports, speakers, sensors and the camera for normal day to day use.

Who It's For

This case is ideal for owners of the older 9.7 in iPad models (iPad 2/3/4) who want a low profile protective shell with a useful stand and the convenience of sleep/wake. It works well for students, casual tablet users, and anyone keeping a legacy device in service for reading, video streaming or light productivity.

It is not for users who need heavy duty military grade protection, keyboard integration, or exact fit for newer iPad sizes; buyers with newer 9.7 in iPad models or those seeking full water resistance should look elsewhere.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Slim, lightweight protection that preserves the original look of the iPad while guarding against scratches.
• Reliable automatic sleep/wake that helps save battery and feels seamless in daily use.
• Tri fold stand supports two practical angles for watching video or typing on a table.
• Translucent PC back keeps the iPad identifiable while shielding it from shocks.

Cons

• Not a ruggedized or waterproof design, so it offers limited protection against drops and no liquid protection.
