DuraSafe iPad 9.7 in Case Blossom - Slim Hard Shell Stand Cover

Our review of the DuraSafe iPad 9.7 in Case in the Blossom print finds it best for owners of the 2017 5th Gen and 2018 6th Gen iPad models who want a protective, lightweight folio that doubles as a usable stand. The single biggest reason to choose this case is the combination of precise model compatibility and practical daily features: automatic sleep/wake, a tri-fold front that supports two viewing angles, and a hard PC back for impact resistance. For someone who uses an iPad for casual browsing, streaming and light typing, this case gives focused protection without excess bulk.

Key Features

• Perfect Compatibility: Designed specifically for iPad 9.7 in 2018 (6th Gen A1893/A1954) and 2017 (5th Gen A1822/A1823) so ports and buttons line up precisely.
• Auto Sleep/Wake Function: The cover supports automatic sleep and wake when opened and closed, helping preserve battery life and convenience.
• TriFold Stand Feature: The tri-fold front folds into two practical positions that accommodate both typing and hands-free viewing.
• Full Protection: A PU leather front with a PC back shell provides a lightweight, anti-scratch surface and shock resistance for everyday knocks.
• Precise Cutouts: Exact cutouts allow unobstructed access to ports, speakers, cameras and sensors so functionality is retained.

Who It's For

The case is ideal for iPad 9.7 in owners who need a slim, attractive folio with built-in stand positions for watching video or light productivity and who value automatic sleep/wake convenience.
