Old Model iPad 2nd Gen 9.7 in TPU Cover A1395 A1396 A1397 - Slim

In this review of the Old Model iPad 2nd Gen 9.7 in TPU Cover, the bottom line is simple: it is for owners of the 2011 iPad models who want a slim, everyday protector that preserves functionality. The reviewer found the case delivers the single biggest benefit expected from a modern cover: dependable protection with a practical stand and the convenience of an automatic sleep/wake feature. For anyone keeping an original iPad 2 in active use, this cover balances lightweight build and useful features without adding bulk.

Key Features

• Smart Auto Sleep/Wake Function: The magnetic lid reliably puts the iPad to sleep when closed and wakes it when opened, saving battery and avoiding extra taps.
• Trifold Stand Feature: The tri-fold front folds into two stable positions so the iPad can be propped for comfortable viewing or a better angle for typing.
• Full Protection: An anti-scratch PU leather front combined with a PC back cover provides lightweight yet durable protection against daily scratches and minor shocks.
• Precise Cutouts & 100% Fit: Cutouts are designed to allow easy access to ports, speakers and the camera so nothing needs to be removed for normal use.
• Thin Profile: The TPU and PC construction keeps the overall size low, which helps preserve the original feel of the iPad without adding significant bulk.

Who It's For

This cover is best for users who actively use a 2011 iPad 2 and want an economical, functional case that supports daily tasks like video calls, web browsing and light typing. The smart sleep/wake and tri-fold stand make it a sensible choice for students, casual readers and anyone keeping the older tablet in rotation for media and light productivity.

It is not aimed at users who need heavy-duty drop protection or waterproofing, nor is it intended for those seeking premium materials like genuine leather. If the priority is military-grade impact resistance or luxury finishes, shoppers should look for a different case.
