DuraSafe Cases for iPad PRO 11 Inch 1st Gen - Slim Adjustable Stand

Our review of the DuraSafe Cases for iPad PRO 11 Inch 1st Gen finds it best suited for owners who want a slim, protective cover that preserves the iPad's Pencil pairing and wireless charging. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a soft-touch PU leather exterior with a silicone shock back and a built-in dual-angle stand that actually holds the tablet steady for typing or viewing. This case keeps full access to cameras, ports, speakers and buttons while providing the familiar smart auto sleep/wake behavior, making it a sensible everyday choice rather than a heavy-duty rugged option.

Key Features

• Model Fit: Exclusively designed for the iPad PRO 11 in 1st Gen 2018 models, ensuring a snug fit and correct cutouts for ports and cameras.
• Pencil Support: Open-side design preserves magnetic attachment and wireless charge for the Apple Pencil while the case is installed.
• Materials: Premium PU leather exterior with a soft microfiber interior and silicone back offers scratch resistance and added shock protection.
• Dual-Angle Stand: Built-in adjustable stand gives two stable viewing and typing angles for comfortable video watching and prolonged typing sessions.
• Auto Sleep/Wake: Integrated magnet supports the automatic sleep and wake function, which helps save battery life by turning the screen off when closed.

Who It's For

The DuraSafe case is ideal for iPad PRO 11 in 1st Gen owners who prioritize a lightweight, stylish cover that still provides everyday protection and convenience. It is particularly well suited to students, remote workers and anyone who uses the Pencil frequently and needs magnetic attachment and wireless charging to remain functional.
