In this review the reviewer looks at a protective silicone and PU leather case designed for the Old Model iPad 2nd Gen 9.7 in. The bottom line: this is a practical, affordable cover for owners who want an exact fit and everyday protection while keeping the iPad usable for media and light typing. The review highlights the case's single biggest reason to buy - the combination of a smart auto sleep/wake lid and a trifold stand that delivers sensible convenience without adding bulk.

Key Features

• Smart Auto Sleep/Wake Function: The magnetic lid automatically puts the iPad to sleep when closed and wakes it when opened for quick access and battery savings.
• Trifold Stand Feature: The tri-fold front folds into two stable viewing angles so the iPad can be propped for watching video or set for typing at a slight incline.
• Full Protection: Anti-scratch PU leather front combined with a rigid PC back cover provides lightweight protection against daily scratches and minor shocks.
• Precise Cutouts: Cutouts and molding leave the ports, speakers, camera and sensors accessible so there is no need to remove the case for normal use.
• 100% Fit for Listed Models: The design is made to fit the specified iPad 2nd Gen model numbers, giving a snug, secure fit that keeps the device in place.
