In this review the DuraSafe Cases iPad PRO 12.9 1st Gen Damask Clear Flip Cover is evaluated for owners of the 2015 iPad PRO who want a protective, lightweight folio that still shows off the tablet's original back. The bottom line: it is best for users seeking a slim, functional case with a built-in dual-angle stand and smart sleep/wake, offering good day-to-day protection without hiding the device's design. The review focuses on fit, materials, functionality, and real user feedback about weight and scratch resistance.

Key Features

• Exact Fit: Precise cut-outs and a snug snap-on design provide full access to cameras, speakers, ports and buttons without removing the case.
• Dual-Angle Stand: Built-in foldable stand supports two viewing angles that make typing or watching video more comfortable and stable.
• Translucent Back: A clear back panel keeps the iPad's original finish visible while adding protection against scratches and scuffs.
• Auto Sleep/Wake: Integrated magnet in the cover reliably triggers the iPad's sleep and wake function to help conserve battery when the lid is closed.
• Soft Interior: Microfiber-lined interior protects the screen from abrasions and helps keep the display clean when closed.
• Slim Materials: PU leather front with a lightweight PC back keeps the overall profile thin while adding grip and corner protection.

Who It's For

This case is aimed at owners of the iPad PRO 12.9 1st Gen (2015, models A1652 and A1584) who value a slim protective folio that preserves the look of the tablet. It suits users who frequently switch between typing and media viewing and who want the convenience of the smart cover sleep/wake feature.

It is less well suited for users who need heavy-duty drop protection or a waterproof solution, or for those who prefer a fully opaque, ultra-rugged shell. If maximum shock resistance is a priority, a bulkier protective case would be a better choice.
