DuraSafe iPad Pro 9.7 Case Color Grid - Slim PU Leather Cover

In this review the DuraSafe iPad Pro 9.7 case in the Color Grid finish is judged as a practical protective cover for owners of the 2016 iPad Pro models (A1673, A1674, A1675). The single biggest reason to buy is that it balances low weight with complete daily protection: a soft-touch PU leather front, a soft microfiber interior and a transparent silicone back protect against scratches and corner knocks while keeping the tablet looking like an iPad. The review finds it useful for users who want protection without bulk and expect reliable fit and sleep/wake functionality.

Key Features

• Precise Fit: Cut-outs and clickable tabs are designed for the 2016 iPad Pro models so ports, camera and buttons remain fully accessible without removing the case.
• Slim Protection: Ultra slim profile with a soft silicone translucent back and PU leather front provides scratch and abrasion resistance while showing the device design.
• Dual-Angle Stand: The tri-fold cover folds into two viewing/typing angles that improve comfort for typing and media use and reduce wrist strain.
• Auto Sleep/Wake: Built-in magnets enable automatic sleep/wake when opening or closing the cover to help conserve battery life.
• Soft Interior: Microfiber lining cushions the screen and resists fingerprints, keeping the display cleaner in daily use.
• Easy Installation: Snap-on design keeps the iPad secure and is straightforward to remove when needed.

Who It's For

This case is ideal for iPad Pro 9.7 owners who want a lightweight, low-profile cover that still offers reliable everyday protection and the convenience of dual-angle stands and auto sleep/wake. It is a good match for students, commuters and anyone who prefers a soft-touch exterior with a stylish pattern while keeping ports and cameras unobstructed.

It may not be the right choice for users who need heavy-duty military-grade protection, integrated keyboard docks, or additional storage pockets. Also, buyers should confirm their iPad model from the second product photo before ordering to avoid fitment issues.
