Old Model iPad 2nd Gen 9.7 Silicone Cover Purple - Smart Sleep/Wake

In this review of the Old Model iPad 2nd Gen 9.7 Silicone Cover, the bottom line is clear: this cover is for owners of the 2011 iPad models who want reliable everyday protection with useful stand and sleep/wake behavior. The reviewer found the case to deliver a snug, precise fit and appreciated the automatic sleep/wake feature that saves battery without any setup. The Tri-Fold front doubles as a sturdy stand for viewing or light typing, and the mix of PU leather front and PC back keeps the tablet well protected from scratches and light shocks while remaining thin and manageable.

Key Features

• Smart Auto Sleep/Wake Function: The cover reliably wakes the iPad when opened and puts it to sleep when closed, helping preserve battery in daily use.
• Trifold Stand Feature: The tri-fold front creates two stable viewing angles that are useful for media watching and for typing at a low incline.
• Full Protection: A PU leather front combined with a PC back shields the iPad from scratches and minor shocks while remaining lightweight.
• Precise Cutouts: Cutouts align with ports, camera and speakers so the device is fully usable without removing the case.
• 100% Fit: The molded back and edge design keep the tablet secure in the case for everyday handling and travel.

Who It's For

This case is aimed at owners of the iPad 2nd Gen 9.7 in the listed model numbers who want a balance of protection, functionality and slim profile. It is especially useful for people who use their iPad for streaming, casual typing and general home or office use where the sleep/wake convenience matters.
