In this review of the DuraSafe Cases option for the iPad PRO 11 in 1st Gen, the bottom line is simple: this case is for owners who want a lightweight, protective everyday cover that preserves Pencil pairing and wireless charging. The reviewer found the fit accurate for the 2018 A1980/A1934/A2013/A1979 models, liked the soft-touch PU leather exterior and silicone back for shock protection, and appreciated the smart sleep/wake and bezel-free design that keeps gestures unobstructed. It is best for users prioritizing a slim profile without sacrificing basic protection.

Key Features

• Exact model fit: Designed specifically for iPad PRO 11 in 1st Gen 2018 models to deliver a secure, precise fit for ports, cameras and speakers.
• Pencil support: Open-side design lets the Apple Pencil pair, attach magnetically and charge without removing the case.
• Materials and protection: Soft-touch PU leather front, microfiber interior and a soft silicone back combine to resist scratches, fingerprints and corner damage.
• Dual-angle stand: Built-in trifold cover folds into two stable viewing and typing angles for hands-free use and comfortable typing.
• Smart sleep/wake: Integrated magnet triggers automatic sleep and wake to save battery and simplify daily use.
• Ultra-slim profile: Lightweight construction keeps the iPad feeling slim in hand while adding drop and abrasion protection.

Who It's For

This case suits iPad PRO 11 in 1st Gen owners who want a balance of style and everyday protection: students, commuters and professionals who carry the tablet in a bag and use the Pencil regularly. The printed deer design also appeals to buyers who want a visually distinctive cover rather than a plain black sleeve.
