DuraSafe Cases iPad 9.7 inch Smart Case - TriFold Stand

In this review the DuraSafe Cases Smart Case is judged as a practical, budget-friendly cover for owners of the iPad 9.7 in 2018 (6th Gen) and 2017 (5th Gen). The single biggest reason to consider it is straightforward protection and functionality: a translucent PC back and PU leather front that combine a lightweight profile with an automatic sleep/wake lid and a tri-fold stand. For anyone who needs basic day-to-day protection and two usable viewing angles without bulk, this case does what it promises.

Key Features

• Perfect Compatibility: Designed specifically for iPad 9.7 in 2018 (6th Gen A1893/A1954) and 2017 (5th Gen A1822/A1823) models so ports and camera remain accessible.
• Auto Sleep/Wake Function: The magnetic lid supports automatic sleep and wake to preserve battery when the cover is opened or closed.
• TriFold Stand Feature: The front folds into a stable two-position stand for comfortable viewing or typing without adding significant thickness.
• Full Protection: The anti-scratch PU leather front combined with a translucent PC back protects against everyday scratches and light shocks.
• Precise Cutouts: Cutouts are engineered for speakers, ports and camera so the case does not interfere with normal use.

Who It's For

This case is a good match for students, commuters and casual users who own one of the eligible iPad 9.7 models and want a light, attractive cover that keeps the tablet safe in a backpack or on a desk. It works well for anyone who values the automatic sleep/wake feature and needs two practical stand angles for media viewing and basic typing.

Those who need ruggedized shock protection for heavy field use, waterproofing, or a keyboard dock should look elsewhere. Also, buyers wanting premium leather or a lifetime-durable finish may prefer a higher-end option, since some users report wear on the surface over time.
