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

In this review the reviewer looks at a slim TPU cover made for the Old Model iPad 2nd Gen 9.7in. The bottom line: this case is for someone who wants reliable everyday protection and a useful stand without adding bulk. The review finds the automatic sleep/wake lid and the trifold front to be the single biggest reasons to buy, since they combine convenience with battery savings and two clear viewing angles while keeping the weight low. It is a practical choice for older iPad owners who need a neat, functional cover.

Key Features

• Smart Auto Sleep/Wake Function: Automatically puts the device to sleep when the lid is closed and wakes it when opened to save battery and speed use.
• Trifold Stand Feature: The tri-fold front converts into two stable positions so the iPad can be propped up for viewing or angled for typing.
• Full Protection: Anti-scratch PU leather front combined with a PC back cover protects against daily scratches and light shocks.
• Precise Cutouts & 100% Fit: The molded design provides unobstructed access to ports, sensors, speakers and camera ports without removing the case.
• Lightweight Construction: The mix of PC back and PU front keeps the overall weight low while still offering a rigid back and soft exterior.

Who It's For

The case is best for owners of an Old Model iPad 2nd Gen 9.7in who want a neat everyday cover that preserves the tablet for reading, video calls and light productivity. It suits students, casual users and anyone replacing a worn original cover who needs the sleep/wake convenience and two stand angles.

Users who need heavy-duty drop protection, a waterproof solution or integrated keyboard should look elsewhere, since this cover focuses on slim profile, appearance and basic impact resistance rather than ruggedized defense or extra accessories.
