DuraSafe iPad Pro 12.9 3rd Gen Case Yarn Flowers - Slim Translucent

In this review of the DuraSafe iPad Pro 12.9 3rd Gen case in Yarn Flowers, the bottom line is simple: this cover is for owners of the 2018 iPad Pro 12.9 who want a slim, protective shell that still shows off the tablet's design while supporting Apple Pencil pairing and wireless charging. The reviewer found the case to be lightweight yet protective, with a soft-touch PU leather front and a clear translucent back that keeps the iPad visible. It is specifically designed for A1876, A2014, A1895 and A1983 models and is not compatible with 11 in iPad Pro models, so checking model fit is the first step before buying.

Key Features

• Exact model fit: Designed for iPad Pro 12.9 in 2018 models so openings align with cameras, speakers and ports without removing the case.
• Pencil support: Open-side design allows magnetic attachment and wireless charging of the Pencil while the case remains on the iPad.
• Slim profile: Ultra slim and lightweight construction keeps the tablet portable while adding basic protection against shocks and scratches.
• Premium finishes: Soft-touch PU leather exterior and scratch-free microfiber interior protect the screen and give a refined feel.
• Smart sleep/wake: Built-in magnet automatically wakes the iPad when opened and puts it to sleep when closed, conserving battery.
• Dual-angle stand: Built-in stand supports two viewing angles for typing and media, improving comfort and stability.

Who It's For

This case suits users who own the specific 12.9 in 3rd gen iPad Pro and want a balance of protection and style without bulk. It is ideal for students, professionals and travelers who value the Pencil's magnetic pairing and want unobstructed access to ports, buttons and cameras while keeping a decorative Yarn Flowers design visible through the translucent back.

People who need heavy-duty military-grade protection, integrated keyboard functionality, or compatibility with 11 in iPad Pro models should look elsewhere. Also choose carefully by confirming your exact model number from the second product photo before purchase to avoid fitment issues.
