Fitted cases designed for specific models of iPad vary in more than just physical dimensions of the iPad.


Cases that include a screen cover very often have embedded magnets that interact with a sensor beneath the screen bezel - this sensor triggering the screen lock/unlock function of the iPad. The sensor location varies between iPad models - and therefore so does the corresponding magnet that is embedded in the cover.


Similarly, the physical buttons of the iPad must perfectly align with any corresponding cut-out within the case - or buttons incorporated within the case itself.


Unless the cover that propose to use lists the explicit model that you intend to use, you will be taking a chance with compatibility. The 9.7” models of iPad and iPad Pro are quite old designs; as a consequence, you are perhaps unlikely to find an Apple-manufactured case for these models. As with all third-party products, you’ll have to verify suitability of any third-party case.
