iPad 9.7 5th 6th Air 1 Air 2 Sleek Flip Case - Paris Night

In this review the DuraSafe printed flip case for the iPad 9.7 and iPad Air models is judged on fit, protection and daily usability; it is aimed at owners of the 2017/2018 9.7in iPads and iPad Air 1/2 who want a slim, stylish cover that preserves the tablet's look. The single biggest reason to buy is the balance of a slim, soft-touch PU exterior with a translucent back that lets the iPad show through while adding a practical multi-angle stand and smart sleep/wake convenience.

Key Features

• Model Compatibility: Designed specifically to fit iPad 9.7 2017/2018 and iPad Air 1 and Air 2 models so users get a secure fit when selecting the right model/size.
• Soft-Touch Finish: The premium PU leather front provides a comfortable handle and resists fingerprints while keeping the case lightweight for daily carry.
• Translucent Back: A soft silicone translucent back protects corners and shows the iPad's original color while reducing bulk compared with hard shell alternatives.
• Dual-Angle Stand: Built-in dual-angle viewing and typing positions make watching video or entering text more comfortable for long use sessions.
• Auto Sleep/Wake: Integrated magnets enable automatic sleep/wake when opening and closing the cover, helping to conserve battery without extra steps.
• Full Access: Precision cutouts allow use of cameras, ports, speakers and buttons without removing the case, keeping everyday functionality uninterrupted.

Who It's For

This case is for iPad owners who prioritize a slim, attractive cover that still protects against scratches, small drops and corner dings while letting the tablet's design remain visible through the translucent back. It suits students, commuters and anyone who wants a light, pocketable cover with a practical stand and sleep/wake convenience.

It is less appropriate for users who need heavy-duty military-style protection or full waterproofing, or for those who prefer a folio with a keyboard built in; such buyers should look for a rugged or keyboard-integrated option instead.
