iPad Pro 12.9 Case 2017/2015 Blue & Pink - Heavy Duty Rugged

Our review of the Puxicu iPad Pro 12.9 case (2015 and 2017 models) looks at who will benefit most and why the main selling point is protection. For users who carry an older iPad Pro in backpacks, on job sites, or around kids, this case aims to deliver robust impact defense with a multi-layer construction. The reviewer found the build focuses on shock absorption, reinforced corners and raised screen edges, making it a sensible pick when safeguarding a 12.9 in tablet is the priority rather than ultra-slim styling.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Built specifically for iPad Pro 12.9 in the 1st and 2nd gen models so ports, camera and buttons remain accessible.
• Three-layer protection: A hard polycarbonate outer shell combined with flexible silicone layers helps absorb shocks and spread impact away from the tablet.
• Reinforced corners: Raised corners and screen edges add cushioning to the most vulnerable impact points and help prevent screen contact on flat drops.
• Built-in kickstand: The integrated stand provides hands-free viewing and adjustable angles for media, video calls or typing with a keyboard.
• Drop and scratch resistance: The heavy-duty design resists bumps and daily wear so the tablet stays usable and cosmetically protected over time.
• Customer support: The brand offers direct customer service to resolve issues and provide satisfaction after purchase.

Who It's For

This case is aimed at owners of the iPad Pro 12.9 in the 1st (2015) and 2nd (2017) generation who need rugged protection for active use. It is a practical choice for people who routinely tote their tablet to job sites, classrooms, workshops or family outings and prioritize impact resistance over a slim profile.

Shoppers who prefer a minimal, ultra-thin sleeve or want a premium leather finish should look elsewhere; this model emphasizes heavy-duty protection and a functional kickstand rather than refined aesthetics or lightweight portability.
