DuraSafe Slim Auto Sleep/Wake TPU Back Cover for iPad 9.7 in - Orange

In this review the DuraSafe Slim Auto Sleep/Wake TPU Back Cover is evaluated as a budget-friendly protective option for owners of iPad Air 1, Air 2 and 9.7 in 5th and 6th generation models. The biggest reason to consider this case is its combination of an ultra slim profile with a built-in magnetic auto sleep/wake cover that preserves the iPad's appearance through a translucent back while adding useful dual-angle viewing. It is best for users who want lightweight daily protection and practical stand angles without adding bulk.

Key Features

• Model fit: Designed specifically for iPad Air 1, Air 2 and 9.7 in 5th/6th gen models, the case provides cutouts that keep cameras, speakers, ports and buttons fully accessible without removal.
• Auto sleep/wake: Built-in magnets enable automatic sleep and wake when the cover is opened or closed, helping conserve battery life with minimal effort.
• Slim profile: The ultra slim, lightweight design keeps the iPad portable and comfortable to hold while still providing edge and corner protection.
• Materials: A soft-touch PU leather front and microfiber interior protect the screen from scratches, while the TPU translucent back shows the iPad color beneath.
• Dual-angle stand: The foldable cover converts to two stable angles for typing or media viewing, reducing neck strain during prolonged use.
• Easy installation: Snap-on construction allows quick fit and removal while holding the device securely in the case.

Who It's For

This case is a good match for owners of the supported iPad models who prioritize a light, low-profile cover that still offers practical protection and hands-free viewing. Students, commuters and casual media viewers will appreciate the dual-angle stand and automatic sleep/wake for everyday convenience.

Users who need heavy-duty drop protection, water resistance, or ruggedized features should look elsewhere. Also, anyone with newer or different iPad sizes must confirm model numbers carefully before purchasing to avoid fitment issues.
