DuraSafe iPad 9.7 Case Birds & Flowers - Slim Hard Shell

In this review the DuraSafe iPad 9.7 case in the Birds & Flowers print is evaluated for everyday users who want patterned protection without bulk. The case is made specifically for iPad 9.7 in 2017 and 2018 models and the biggest reason to buy is the combination of a slim printed PU leather front and a rigid PC back that preserves the tablet's slim profile while protecting against scratches and light shocks. It includes the automatic sleep/wake feature and a tri-fold front that converts to viewing and typing angles, making it a practical, budget-friendly choice.

Key Features

• Perfect Compatibility: Precisely designed to fit iPad 9.7 in 2018 (6th Gen A1893/A1954) and 2017 (5th Gen A1822/A1823) models so ports and cameras line up correctly.
• Auto Sleep/Wake Function: The built-in magnetic closure supports automatic sleep and wake to preserve battery life and provide instant resume when you open the cover.
• Tri-Fold Stand Feature: The front cover folds into two stable positions for comfortable hands-free viewing or a slightly inclined typing angle.
• Full Protection: Anti-scratch PU leather on the front combined with a hard PC back shields the tablet from everyday scratches and minor shocks while remaining lightweight.
• Precise Cutouts: Cutouts for ports, speakers, sensors and the camera allow full access without removing the case, keeping the device usable in place.

Who It's For

This case is best for iPad 9.7 owners who want an attractive printed cover that still offers functional protection and stand versatility for media viewing and light typing. It suits students, commuters and casual tablet users who value an automatic sleep/wake feature and an easy-to-fold stand.

It is less suitable for users who need heavy-duty drop protection or waterproofing, or for owners of iPad models other than the listed 2017 and 2018 9.7 in variants, who should seek a case explicitly made for their model.

Pros & Cons
