DuraSafe Cases for iPad Pro 12.9 3rd Gen - Slim Transparent Back

In this review the DuraSafe Cases for iPad Pro 12.9 3rd Gen is presented as a practical, low-profile option for owners who want everyday protection without adding bulk. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of a translucent back that showcases the iPad and a slim PU leather front that supports the Pencil's magnetic attach and wireless charge while providing an auto sleep/wake cover. For someone using a 2018 iPad Pro and who values a neat, functional case rather than heavy-duty armor, this case delivers solid value.

Key Features

• Model-specific fit: Exclusively designed for iPad Pro 12.9 in 3rd Gen models so ports, cameras and buttons remain fully accessible without removing the case.
• Pencil pair and charge support: Open-side design keeps the Pencil able to magnetically attach and wirelessly charge while the device is in the case.
• Auto sleep/wake: Built-in magnet provides automatic sleep and wake when opening and closing the smart cover to save battery life.
• Translucent back: Clear rear panel lets the iPad's design remain visible while offering protection against scratches and fingerprints.
• Dual-angle stand: Integrated viewing and typing stand offers two stable angles for typing, watching video, or reading hands-free.
• Soft interior and PU exterior: Microfiber interior and soft-touch PU leather exterior reduce slips and add scratch-free cushioning for everyday use.

Who It's For

This case is best for iPad Pro 12.9 in owners of the 2018 generation who want a slim, attractive cover that keeps the iPad usable with the Apple Pencil and supports auto sleep/wake. It suits students, professionals, and casual users who prioritize a neat profile, easy Pencil access and basic drop and scratch protection.

Those who need heavy-duty corner protection or an extremely rugged, shockproof shell should look elsewhere; the case provides everyday protection and durability but some customers report limited corner impact protection. Also, it is not compatible with iPad Pro 11 models, so verify your model before ordering.
