DuraSafe Cases for iPad 9.7 - Printed Folio Silicone Smart Cover Puppy

Our review of the DuraSafe Case for iPad 9.7 finds it best suited to owners of the 2018/2017 iPad 6th/5th Gen and iPad Air 1/2 who want a stylish, protective folio without bulk. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of slim, full-front-and-back protection with a practical multi-angle stand and smart auto sleep/wake, which keeps the tablet safe in daily use while preserving full access to ports and cameras. It is a workhorse cover that balances protection, appearance, and convenience for everyday tablet use.

Key Features

• Model Fit: Precise cutouts ensure a snug fit and keep the camera, speakers, ports and buttons fully accessible without removing the case.
• Full Protection: Slim folio profile with premium PU leather exterior, soft scratch-free interior and aircushion corners protects against scratches, dirt and corner damage.
• Cooling Design: The printed folio includes a honeycomb cooling feature that helps heat dispersion during prolonged use.
• Multi-Angle Stand: Built-in dual-angle viewing and typing positions make typing and video watching more comfortable and reduce strain on the wrists.
• Smart Sleep/Wake: Integrated magnets provide automatic sleep/wake behavior to save battery when the lid is closed or opened.
• Easy On/Off: Sturdy yet simple snap-on design lets the case be installed or removed quickly when needed.

Who It's For

This case is ideal for iPad owners with a 9.7 in model from 2014 to 2018 (iPad Air 1/2 and iPad 5th/6th Gen) who want a lightweight, protective folio that looks polished and supports hands-free use. It suits students, commuters and anyone who carries their tablet in a bag and needs everyday scratch and corner protection without added bulk.

Users who need heavy-duty drop protection, a built-in keyboard, or compatibility with other iPad sizes should look elsewhere. Also confirm your exact model number before ordering to avoid fitment issues, since this cover is tailored specifically to listed 9.7 in models.
