DuraSafe Cases for iPad Pro 12.9 2nd Gen (2017) - Diamond Grid

In this review of the DuraSafe Cases for iPad Pro 12.9 2nd Gen (2017) the bottom line is simple: this case is best for owners who want a slim, attractive cover that preserves iPad visibility while offering everyday protection and useful stand angles. The reviewer found the translucent hard back and soft-touch PU front combine to keep the tablet feeling premium without adding noticeable bulk, and the smart magnet sleep/wake together with multi-angle stand make routine use more convenient. This is a practical choice when fit and style matter as much as basic protection.

Key Features

• Perfect fit: Precisely cut openings and clickable tabs deliver full access to cameras, speakers, ports and buttons without removing the case.
• Translucent back: A clear hard back lets the iPad design remain visible while the case still shields against scratches and dirt.
• Soft-touch exterior: Premium PU leather on the front provides a comfortable grip and a sleek, non-bulky profile for everyday carry.
• Multi-angle stand: Built-in folding stand supports multiple viewing and typing angles for watching video or working on the go.
• Auto sleep/wake: Integrated magnet uses the smart cover function to conserve battery by waking and sleeping the device automatically.
• Interior protection: Soft microfiber lining protects the screen from abrasion when the cover is closed.

Who It's For

This case is well suited to iPad Pro 12.9 2nd Gen owners who prioritize a slim, stylish shell that still offers practical daily protection and useful stand positions. It fits both WiFi and WiFi+Cellular 2017 models, so buyers who want an accurate model match will appreciate the detailed compatibility listing.

It is less suited to users seeking rugged, heavy-duty corner impact protection or a fully enclosed shockproof system; reviewers note mixed feedback on corner protection and sturdiness for extreme drops, so those needing maximum military-grade protection should look at thicker, reinforced options.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Slim, lightweight profile that keeps the iPad sleek while offering surface and scratch protection.
• Translucent hard back preserves the tablet's look and resists fingerprints better than many glossy shells.
• Multi-angle stand and magnet-assisted sleep/wake improve daily usability for typing and media consumption.
• Soft microfiber interior protects the screen when closed and reduces micro-scratches.

Cons

• Some users report limited corner protection and concerns about sturdiness in heavy-impact situations.
• Not a heavy-duty, shockproof case for users who need rugged drop protection.
