Product description
What it is and why you might want it
This Surom kids case is designed for iPad 9.7 inch models from 2017/2018 and selected Air 2 / Pro 9.7 versions, with a built-in screen protector and a shock-resistant shell. The idea is pretty straightforward: give a child-friendly hold and extra protection for the tablet’s everyday knocks—without turning the iPad into something bulky and awkward.
It’s the kind of case that tends to make sense for schools, long car rides, or at-home learning where screens get tapped, dropped (hopefully not often), and carried around more than they would with a typical adult case.
Compatibility you should double-check first
The case is specifically described for: - iPad 9.7 inch 2018 (6th generation) - iPad 9.7 inch 2017 (5th generation) - iPad Air 2 (2014) - iPad Pro 9.7 inch (2016)
It also calls out specific model numbers (A1893/A1954 for the 2018 iPad 9.7, A1822/A1823 for the 2017 iPad 9.7, A1566/A1567 for iPad Air 2, and A1673/A1674/A1675 for iPad Pro 9.7).
Worth noting: the description is explicit that it’s not for any other 9.7 inch tablets. If you’re unsure which iPad you have, check the model number before buying—this is one of those cases where getting compatibility wrong is an instant deal-breaker.
Key points you’ll notice in daily use
The big practical feature here is the built-in screen protector (0.25mm, fully integrated according to the listing). That’s meant to help guard against scratches on the iPad screen, which is exactly where kids tend to be roughest—think pencil tips, bits of grit, or random contact from bags.
The second everyday highlight is the rotatable handle stand. In hand, it’s described as easy to carry around. Converted, it becomes a stand for hands-free viewing and typing, which is useful for video calls, homework, or when you want the iPad stable for a task instead of balancing it.
And yes, the cut-outs are described as accurate, so you should still be able to reach buttons, ports, sensors, speakers and the camera without wrestling the case.
What stands out about the build
On paper, the case uses durable yet lightweight EVA material with a shockproof design focus. EVA is commonly chosen in protective cases because it can be flexible while still offering drop and scratch resistance.
However, a quick reality check: “shockproof” doesn’t mean “drop-proof”. For more serious impacts, no kids case is magic. This is best viewed as protection for frequent bumps and the usual chaos, rather than a guarantee against everything.
Where it fits—and where it may not
It suits you if you want a kid-focused case that combines protection (including an integrated screen protector) with a carry-friendly handle and a stand mode for typing and viewing.
It may not suit you if: - you need compatibility for a different iPad model than the ones listed (the listing is strict about this) - you’re expecting a super-premium feel or ultra-sleek design—kids cases like this usually prioritise practicality and protection over slimness - your main concern is something beyond scratches and typical everyday handling
Mini FAQ
Does it include a screen protector?
Yes. The listing says the case comes with a fully integrated 0.25mm screen protector.
Can the stand be used for typing as well as viewing?
That’s exactly what it’s described for: hands-free viewing and typing once converted.
Will I still be able to access ports and buttons?
The case is described as having accurate cut-outs for buttons, ports, sensors, speakers and the camera.
Is it suitable for any 9.7-inch iPad?
No—only the specific iPad 9.7 inch models listed (including the named model numbers) are covered.
Final verdict
This Surom Kids Case with Screen Protector looks like a practical, protection-first pick for owners of compatible iPad 9.7-inch 2017/2018 models (and the listed Air 2 / Pro 9.7 options). The integrated screen protector and the rotatable handle stand are the two features that most clearly match real day-to-day kid use.
Buy it if you’ve checked your iPad’s model number and you want a case that supports carrying, scratch prevention, and stand-based learning.
Skip it if compatibility is a guess, because the listing explicitly restricts supported devices—and if you’re chasing a minimal, dress-up style case, this one will feel more functional than fashion-led.
