Vanity: Best protective iPad case?

[goodwithagun]

I received an iPad 2 for my birthday, but it will really be a family device. I need a protective case for it, considering my son is almost four, my daughter is almost one, and my husband still uses a TracFone because of his track record with phones. Any suggestions?

I was considering the soon-to-be released Lifeproof because I love my iPhone case, but I read that it will not have a screen cover. A screen cover is a must.

good topic. I have had one since Christmas, but I keep it in the box since I have not bought one of what seems to be 10,000 covering devices.

I put mine in here and it hasn't caused me a problem since:

If you can’t trust FReepers’ opinions, who can you trust? Lol!

I am watching this thread, too. I need opinions.

I like my iPad.

Lifeproof. Period.

Try searching for iBallz and no I am not making the name up. They sell protective cases and other apparatus to where you can even drop the iPad and it will not be damaged.

I have an iLuv case that is similar to a planner case. It zips, and has space for a note pad and business cards. It was $29.

The first one listed here is what I got for my husband.
Its perfect, stands the ipad, flips over so he can put it in his briefcase when he travels and I also got a non glare screen cover which has been on nearly two years with no problems.

Without question the Otterbox. I have a lot of friends who work oilfields and they all swear by them. (if you don’t know oilfield work, it is dirty and rough).

There is a beast of a case that looks like it is used by the military.... protects against all sorts of drops and knocks. A friend of mine received one with her iPad as she is a bit clumsy. I don’t recall the name of it.... when I find out I will post again.

Whatever you do you're a lot smarter than I am!

I have this case and like it a lot!

Make sure to buy a stylus too, you’ll thank me later.

The box it came in as long as you leave it in the box and put the box flat in a desk drawer.

Otter Box Defender Series..... includes a protector for the screen. Most folks just get the plastic sticky screen cover to protect against finger prints etc.

I got one of these.

[goodwithagun]

Do you know if I will be able to put a screen cover on it? I love it except for that. I have their iPhone case and it is wonderful!

[martin_fierro]

These leather folding cases are fairly protective, given their price:

The one I use is a lot like these.

But for the ultimate in protection ($$$), check out Otterbox:

Do you think the stand is flimsy? I’ve read that some people are upset about that.

I recommend PixelSkin by Speck.

I also have one for my original iPhone and it looks great.
