DuraSafe Cases for iPad Pro 12.9 3rd Gen - Deer Print

In this review the DuraSafe Cases for iPad Pro 12.9 3rd Gen is recommended for owners of the 2018 iPad Pro who want a slim, protective cover that preserves Pencil pairing and wireless charging. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of an ultra slim PU leather exterior with a translucent back that shows the tablet while protecting edges and screen; it keeps access to cameras, speakers and ports without removing the case and the open-side design supports the Pencil magnetic attach and charge feature.

Key Features

• Exact Fit: Designed exclusively for iPad Pro 12.9 in 3rd Gen models, the case fits the listed model numbers and keeps ports and buttons fully accessible without removal.
• Pencil Support: The open-side design preserves the Pencil magnetic attachment and wireless charging so the accessory remains functional while protected.
• Materials: Premium soft-touch PU leather outside and a soft microfiber interior combine to resist scratches and make it comfortable to hold.
• Slim Protection: The ultra slim, lightweight profile and translucent back provide impact and corner protection while keeping the iPad visually on display.
• Auto Sleep/Wake: Built-in magnets enable automatic sleep/wake when the cover is opened or closed, which helps conserve battery life.
• Dual-Angle Stand: The integrated folding stand offers two stable angles for typing or media consumption and holds the iPad steady in use.

Who It's For

This case is best for owners of the iPad Pro 12.9 in 3rd Gen (2018) who prioritize a slim, stylish cover that still protects against scratches and minor drops while allowing Pencil charging. It suits students, professionals and casual users who want a premium look with everyday protection and easy access to all device features.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of other iPad sizes, such as iPad Pro 11, and anyone needing heavy-duty rugged protection or integrated keyboard functionality; this model emphasizes slim styling and basic drop protection rather than military-grade shock absorption or a built-in keyboard.
