ProCase iPad 9.7-inch Leather Folio Case (Black) for iPad 6th/5th Gen, iPad Air 1 & Air 2
Product description
If you’re after a simple, protective folio that can also stand your iPad at the right angle, this ProCase leather-style corner protection case is built around that exact idea. It’s aimed at the 9.7-inch iPad models listed in the compatibility details, with a front cover that doubles as a viewing/typing stand.
On paper it ticks the practical boxes: a soft interior, corner protection for day-to-day use, and a multi-angle stand setup. Still, it’s not designed to be a rugged, drop-proof armour case, and you’ll want to be careful about choosing the right iPad model first.
The essentials
This ProCase folio cover uses a leather-style outer and a softer inner lining, with corner protection intended to help guard your device during everyday life. The cover also includes a magnetic closure for an auto sleep/wake function (so your iPad can go to sleep or wake with the lid).
Where it gets more interesting is the stand: multiple slots let you set the case at different horizontal viewing angles. That means you can swap between watching something comfortably and angling the screen for typing.
There’s also a front pocket with an organiser-style approach, plus an elastic pen loop, which is handy if you use a Pencil or compatible stylus.
Compatibility you should double-check
This case is described as fitting several specific 9.7-inch iPad models: iPad 6th Generation (model numbers A1893, A1954), iPad 5th Generation (A1822, A1823), iPad Air 2 (2014, A1566, A1567) and iPad Air 1 (2013, A1474, A1475, A1476).
Before you buy, it’s worth taking 30 seconds to check the model number on the back of your iPad—this is explicitly recommended by the listing. If your iPad is a different 9.7-inch variant, or a different generation entirely, it may not line up properly.
What you’ll notice in daily use
In day-to-day terms, this is the kind of folio you’d use at home, in the office, or on the commute. The stand angles are the part people tend to appreciate most: you can fold the cover back and slot it into position for a more stable viewing setup.
A small but practical touch is the front pocket for documents and small essentials—think notes, cards, or similar items you don’t want loose in a bag. The elastic pen loop can help keep your stylus from disappearing.
One limitation to keep in mind: the listing notes that an Apple Pencil is not included. So if you’re missing a stylus, you’ll need to source that separately.
Multi-angle stand: helpful, but not for every setup
The case includes multiple slots for setting different horizontal stand angles. That’s generally a good fit for browsing, watching, reading, or typing in short-to-medium sessions.
That said, angle adjustment only works within the range the folio design allows. If you’re hoping for a wide range of positions like you’d get from some heavier-duty stands, you may find the options a bit limited.
Front pocket and pen loop: small features, real convenience
The front pocket is described as a larger document card organiser pocket. It’s not trying to be a full-on wallet replacement, but it can reduce the clutter when you just need to carry a few bits.
The built-in elastic pencil holder is also straightforward—useful if you regularly pick up your iPad and want the pen to stay with it.

Buying verdict
It makes sense if you want a leather-style folio that covers the basics well: protection for daily use, a magnetic lid for sleep/wake, a multi-angle stand for watching and typing, and a front pocket for small essentials. It’s a sensible pick for students, home users, and office setups where you’ll actually use the stand rather than keeping the case closed most of the time.
You may want to skip it if your priority is maximum drop protection, or if you’re not confident your iPad model number matches those listed on the back. Also, if you already have an unusually specific stand requirement (very frequent desk repositioning), the available stand angles might feel a bit constrained.
