DuraSafe Cases for iPad Pro 12.9 3rd Gen - Copper Golden

Our review of the DuraSafe Cases for iPad Pro 12.9 3rd Gen finds it best suited to owners who want a slim, protective cover that preserves the tablet's look while supporting the Apple Pencil. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a translucent back and soft-touch front that protects against scratches and corner impacts without adding bulk. It is clearly designed for the 2018 iPad Pro models and keeps ports, cameras and speakers fully usable while maintaining the Pencil's magnetic attach and wireless charging function.

Key Features

• Exact model fit: Designed specifically for iPad Pro 12.9 inch 3rd Gen, the case fits the A1876/A2014/A1895/A1983 models to avoid loose edges or blocked cameras.
• Pencil pair and charge support: The open-side design supports magnetic attachment and wireless charging for the Pencil so users can store and charge without removing the cover.
• Slim, protective profile: A lightweight PU leather exterior and microfiber interior provide scratch resistance and corner protection while keeping the iPad thin enough for daily carry.
• Auto sleep/wake: Built-in magnets automatically wake the iPad when the cover is opened and put it to sleep when closed to conserve battery life.
• Dual-angle stand: The foldable cover supports two stable viewing and typing angles for video, typing and reading without additional accessories.
• Translucent back: The clear rear panel keeps the iPad visible and preserves its original color while offering impact resistance.

Who It's For

This case is ideal for iPad Pro 12.9 users who prioritize a neat balance of protection and style, especially those who use an Apple Pencil and want to charge it magnetically while the iPad is cased. It suits students, professionals and anyone who carries their iPad regularly and needs a lightweight cover that still guards against daily knocks and scratches.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of iPad Pro 11 or later non-compatible models, since this design is not compatible with the 11 in model, and users who want heavy-duty rugged or waterproof protection; this case favors slim everyday protection and appearance over extreme shielding.
