iPad Pro 12.9 3rd Gen Case Rose Gold - Translucent Back

In this review of the Rose Gold DuraSafe Cases for iPad Pro 12.9 3rd Gen, the bottom line is simple: this case is for owners who want a slim, stylish cover that preserves the iPad's look while giving everyday protection. The reviewer found the translucent back keeps the iPad visible and the soft-touch PU exterior feels premium without adding bulk. It is particularly good for users who use the Apple Pencil frequently because the open-side design supports magnetic pairing and wireless charging. Overall this is a practical, elegant option rather than a heavy-duty protective shell.

Key Features

• Model-specific fit: Exclusively designed for iPad Pro 12.9 in 3rd Gen models, ensuring ports and cameras line up without needing to remove the case.
• Pencil support: The open-side design allows the Apple Pencil to magnetically attach and charge while the iPad remains in the case.
• Translucent back: A clear rear panel lets the iPad's original finish show through while guarding against scratches and fingerprints.
• Smart sleep/wake: Built-in magnets provide automatic sleep and wake when opening or closing the cover to help preserve battery life.
• Dual-angle stand: The built-in stand holds the iPad in two stable viewing angles for typing or watching video without extra accessories.
• Soft interior and slim profile: Microfiber lining and ultra-slim construction protect the screen from scratches without making the device bulky.

Who It's For

This case is best for iPad Pro 12.9 in 3rd Gen owners who prioritize a sleek, low-profile cover that still offers routine protection and functional features like Pencil charging and auto sleep/wake. Creatives and students who often carry their iPad between meetings or classes will appreciate the lightweight feel and translucent back that preserves the device's aesthetic.

Those who need heavy impact protection, military-grade drop defense, or reinforced corner bumpers should look elsewhere; some customers report mixed results for corner protection. If you require a rugged, oversized armor case, this slim design is not intended for that level of abuse.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this case allow the Apple Pencil to charge while attached?
Yes. The open-side design supports magnetic pairing and wireless charging of the Pencil without removing the case.

Is this case compatible with iPad Pro 11 or other iPad sizes?
No. This case is made specifically for the iPad Pro 12.9 in 3rd Gen (2018) and is not compatible with iPad Pro 11 2020 or other sizes.

Does the case protect corners and survive drops?
The case offers day-to-day protection against scratches and light impacts, but some users report limited corner protection under heavier drops, so it is not a rugged, military-style protector.
