iPad PRO 12.9 Inch 1st Gen Hard PC Back Trifold Cover - Coal

In this review the reviewer finds the iPad PRO 12.9 Inch 1st Gen Hard PC Back Trifold Cover best suited for owners of the 2015 iPad PRO models who want a slim, protective daily case with a usable stand. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of a translucent hard PC back that shows the device and a soft-touch PU leather front that supports an effective dual-angle stand and smart sleep/wake, offering practical protection without adding bulk.

Key Features

• Exact model fit: Precisely cut openings and clickable tabs let users access cameras, speakers, ports and buttons without removing the case, reducing wear on the device.
• Slim protective shell: A translucent hard PC back paired with a soft-touch PU leather front delivers drop and scratch protection while keeping the iPad visually visible.
• Soft interior: Microfiber interior prevents scratches and cushions the screen when the cover is closed, helping preserve the display finish.
• Dual-angle stand: Built-in trifold design supports multiple viewing and typing angles for comfortable media use and longer typing sessions.
• Smart sleep/wake: Integrated magnet enables automatic sleep and wake when the cover is closed or opened, saving battery life.
• Lightweight design: The case stays thin and easy to carry, offering protection without significant added weight.

Who It's For

This case is ideal for owners of the iPad PRO 12.9 in 2015 models (A1652, A1584) who want a neat balance of protection, style and everyday functionality while retaining full access to controls. It suits students, professionals and frequent travelers who need a compact cover that doubles as a stand and keeps the device visible through a translucent back.

Those who need heavy-duty military grade protection, waterproofing, or an integrated keyboard should look elsewhere; this case emphasizes slim profile and usability rather than extreme ruggedization or keyboard functionality.
