DuraSafe Cases iPad PRO 12.9 1st Gen Slim Hard Shell Cover - Purple

Our review of the DuraSafe Cases cover for the iPad PRO 12.9 1st Gen finds it best for owners who want a slim, functional protector that preserves the tablet's looks while adding practical features. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a translucent back that shows the iPad and a lightweight, soft-touch front that supports an automatic sleep/wake function; this makes the case a sensible everyday choice for users who value a neat, low-bulk profile and convenient stand angles without sacrificing access to ports and cameras.

Key Features

• Exclusively designed fit: Precise cut-outs and clickable tabs give easy access to cameras, speakers, ports and buttons without removing the case, preserving full functionality.
• Ultra slim profile: The premium PU leather exterior and translucent hard back keep the overall bulk down while letting the iPad design remain visible.
• Soft interior protection: A microfiber inner lining resists scratches and fingerprints to protect the screen when the cover is closed or during transport.
• Dual-angle stand: The built-in stand supports two viewing and typing positions for more comfortable video watching, reading and typing sessions.
• Smart sleep/wake: Built-in magnets enable automatic sleep and wake when opening or closing the lid to help conserve battery life.
• Lightweight durability: The materials resist abrasion and dirt while offering corner and surface protection for everyday use.

Who It's For

This case is ideal for iPad PRO 12.9 1st Gen owners who prioritize style and low bulk: students, professionals and casual tablet users who want solid day-to-day protection, a clear back to show the device, and convenient stand positions. The smart sleep/wake feature and precise cut-outs are helpful for people who use their iPad frequently and want quick, reliable access.

Users who need heavy-duty drop protection or reinforced corner guards for rugged use should look elsewhere; the case is designed for moderate protection and aesthetics rather than extreme impact absorption. Also, buyers must verify the exact 2015 model number before purchasing to ensure the correct fit.
