DuraSafe iPad 9.7 2017 Case Printed Birds & Flowers - Trifold Stand

Our review of the DuraSafe case for the iPad 5th Gen (9.7 in, 2017) focuses on practical protection and everyday usability. This case is best for owners who want a tidy, lightweight cover that keeps the tablet safe from scratches and wakes or sleeps the device automatically; the single biggest reason to buy is the combination of the smart auto sleep/wake feature and a usable trifold stand that supports both viewing and typing without adding bulk. The reviewer found the fit and appearance to be reliable and attractive for casual daily use.

Key Features

• Smart Auto Sleep/Wake: The automatic sleep/wake function saves battery and offers hassle-free opening and closing without fiddly switches.
• Trifold Stand Feature: The tri-fold front gives two stable positions so the iPad can be angled for typing or placed upright for viewing videos and calls.
• Full Protection: Anti-scratch PU leather on the front with a rigid PC back cover provides lightweight protection against everyday shocks and scuffs.
• Precise Cutouts: Cutouts and molding ensure easy access to ports, speakers and the camera without removing the case.
• 100% Fit for 2017 iPad: The design is tailored to the iPad 5th Gen model and aligns cleanly with the device edges and openings.

Who It's For

The case suits students, commuters and home users who want a slim, protective cover that looks good and functions simply; its light weight and printed Birds & Flowers design make it an appealing everyday choice for those who prefer style with protection. It is particularly useful for people who rely on the iPad for video calls, streaming and occasional typing because the trifold stand provides two stable positions.

Those who need rugged, heavy-duty drop protection, integrated keyboard docks or a waterproof solution should look elsewhere; this case focuses on scratch resistance, convenience and fit rather than extreme impact resistance or full waterproofing.
