DuraSafe Cases Puppy Friend for iPad 9.7 (5th/6th/ Air) - Folio

In this review we look at the DuraSafe Cases Puppy Friend folio, designed specifically for the iPad 9.7 models including 2018 6th Gen, 2017 5th Gen and iPad Air 1 and Air 2. The bottom line: this case is for users who want a slim, stylish folio that still provides reliable corner protection and full access to ports and cameras. The review finds the soft-touch PU exterior, AirCushion corners and precise cutouts deliver practical everyday protection without adding bulk, while the smart magnet and dual-angle stand make it genuinely useful for media and typing.

Key Features

• Model-specific fit: Precisely cut for iPad 9.7 2018/2017 and Air 1/2 so buttons, cameras and ports remain fully accessible without removing the case.
• Full front and back protection: Slim folio profile with premium PU leather exterior and soft scratch-free interior keeps the screen and rear protected from abrasion and fingerprints.
• Corner protection: Built-in AirCushion corners absorb shocks and reduce the risk of corner damage from drops and impacts.
• Multi-angle stand: Dual-angle viewing and typing positions make watching video or typing comfortable while keeping hands free and reducing wrist strain.
• Auto sleep/wake: Built-in magnet provides automatic sleep/wake for power savings and keeps the cover snapped closed when not in use.
• Lightweight and easy to install: Thin, high-quality materials keep weight down and the snap-on design is simple to fit or remove.

Who It's For

The DuraSafe Puppy Friend folio is best for iPad owners who need daily protection with a slim profile and a cheerful printed exterior. It suits students, commuters and casual users who frequently switch between watching video and light typing and who value the automatic sleep/wake feature for battery life.

It is less suitable for users seeking heavy-duty, ruggedized armor for extreme environments or those who need a built-in keyboard or multi-device compatibility beyond the listed 9.7 in iPad models. Buyers should confirm their iPad model number against the included guide to avoid fitment issues.
