DuraSafe iPad 9.7 Case Puppy Friend - Dual Angle Stand

In this review the DuraSafe iPad 9.7 Case Puppy Friend is evaluated for owners of iPad Air 1, Air 2 and 9.7 in 2017/2018 5th/6th gen models who want a protective, stylish cover that keeps the tablet usable without removal. The bottom line: this case is for someone who prioritizes a slim profile, reliable protection and a dual-angle stand with smart sleep/wake, and it delivers those reliably while showing off the iPad through a translucent back. It is a practical, well-made option rather than a premium rugged shell.

Key Features

• Model fit: Designed specifically for iPad Air 1, Air 2 and 9.7 in 2017/2018 5th and 6th gen models to avoid fitment issues when the correct model is selected.
• Material and finish: Premium PU leather exterior with a soft-touch feel gives a refined look while a microfiber interior protects the screen from scratches.
• Translucent back: A clear back keeps the iPad design visible while offering protection against scratches and fingerprints.
• Dual-angle stand: Built-in dual-angle viewing/typing stand improves comfort for watching video, typing and reading without holding the device.
• Auto sleep/wake: Integrated magnets enable automatic sleep/wake to save battery and make daily use convenient.
• Access and protection: Precise cutouts provide full access to cameras, ports, speakers and buttons while guarding against shock, abrasion and corner damage.

Who It's For

The case suits iPad owners who want a balance of style and everyday protection for Air 1/Air 2 and 9.7 in 5th/6th gen iPads and who appreciate a slim, lightweight cover with a printed Puppy Friend design. It is useful for students, casual users, and travelers who need a simple stand and reliable scratch protection.

It is less appropriate for users who require heavy-duty drop protection, waterproofing, or an integrated keyboard; those users should look at thicker, rugged cases or keyboard folios instead.
