DuraSafe Cases for iPad Pro 12.9 3rd Gen - Lavender

In this review the DuraSafe case is evaluated as a protective, stylish option for owners of the iPad Pro 12.9 in the 3rd generation (2018). The bottom line: this case is best for users who want a slim, lightweight cover that preserves the iPad's look while offering reliable day-to-day protection and support for the Apple Pencil's magnetic pair and wireless charging. It is not compatible with newer 11 in models, so double-check the model reference before buying.

Key Features

• Exact Fit: Designed specifically for the iPad Pro 12.9 in 3rd gen so ports, cameras and buttons remain fully accessible without removing the case.
• Pencil Support: Open-side design supports magnetic attachment and wireless charging of the Pencil while the case is on, keeping the accessory ready to use.
• Smart Sleep/Wake: Built-in magnets power the automatic sleep/wake function to save battery life and provide a secure closure when not in use.
• Dual-Angle Stand: Integrated fold lets users set the iPad at two comfortable angles for typing or media viewing without extra accessories.
• Protective Materials: Premium PU leather exterior with a soft microfiber interior and a translucent back offers scratch resistance while showing the tablet's design.
• Ultra Slim Profile: Lightweight construction preserves the thin silhouette of the iPad while adding corner and surface protection.

Who It's For

The case suits iPad Pro 12.9 3rd gen owners who want a balance of protection and style: students, professionals who travel light, and anyone who prefers a slim folio that still supports Pencil pairing. Its translucent back is a good match for buyers who want the iPad's finish to remain visible while adding color.

It is not for people using the iPad Pro 11 or later models, or those seeking heavy-duty, ruggedized impact protection for rough environments. Customers who require integrated keyboard functionality or a bulky protective shell should look elsewhere.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Precise fit and full access to cameras, speakers and ports without removing the case.
• Supports Pencil magnetic attach and wireless charging thanks to the open-side design.
• Smart auto sleep/wake and a dual-angle stand improve daily convenience and battery life.

Cons

• Not compatible with iPad Pro 11 and other non-3rd-gen 12.9 models, so fitment must be confirmed before purchase.
• Lightweight protection may not satisfy users seeking heavy-duty drop resistance in extreme conditions.
