DuraSafe iPad Pro 9.7 Case Puppy Friend - Slim PU Leather Cover

In this review the DuraSafe iPad Pro 9.7 Puppy Friend case is judged as a practical, lightweight cover best suited for owners of the 2016 iPad Pro 9.7 (models A1673, A1674, A1675) who want a slim protective sleeve with a playful design. The single biggest reason to buy is its blend of a transparent back and premium PU leather front that preserves the iPad's look while adding a dual-angle stand and smart sleep/wake magnets. It works well as a daily carry case without adding bulk and gives full access to ports, cameras and buttons.

Key Features

• Model compatibility: Designed specifically for the iPad Pro 9.7 2016 models, so ports, cameras and buttons remain accessible without removing the case.
• Ultra slim profile: The lightweight, thin construction keeps the tablet portable and pocketable while providing basic surface protection.
• Premium PU leather back and transparent panel: Offers a refined look with a clear view of the device while resisting everyday scuffs.
• Dual-angle viewing/typing: Built-in folding stand supports comfortable typing and video viewing at two stable angles to reduce wrist strain.
• Smart auto sleep/wake: Magnetic closure securely holds the cover and activates the iPad sleep/wake function for convenience and battery savings.

The Puppy Friend case is well suited for iPad Pro 9.7 owners who value a slim, attractive cover that doubles as a convenient stand for reading, web browsing and media.
