For D’s birthday I treated him to an iPad Air (super brownie points for that one!) so Urban Armor Gear offered to send him an iPad case* to keep it protected from the little fella. The case retails at $49.95 which is approximately £38 (at the moment).
The case features a feather-light composite construction and an impact resistant soft core to keep it protected from scratches. It has even met military drop-test standards (MIL STD 810G 516.6), which means nothing to me but sounds fairly impressive. It has oversized tactile buttons and a water resistant grip material. This has proved very useful when Lucas has spilt his drink next to it! There are easy access to touchscreen and ports and a smart cover. The frogskin technology grip skin makes it excellent for Lucas to hold whilst watching KidloLand.
When I ordered the case, as impressed as I was with all this information, I did wonder whether it would be bulky to be so protective. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived, it is very slim and smart looking. It wouldn’t look out of place in a business meeting or when on a site visit so it is perfect for D at work.
I would definitely recommend Urban Armor Gear and think the price is reasonable for what you get, when you spend over £300 on a tablet, you want it thoroughly protected and that is exactly what you get with this case. They also do cases for other branded tablets and phones. The only thing I would want is more choices in colours as I wouldn’t chose black for myself, luckily it is D’s favourite colour x

My daughter definitely needs something like this, she dropped her phone the other day and chipped it 🙁 x
Baby Isabella says
Woweeee! That looks super heavy duty, I think we’d prefer something a bit more feminine though xx great review
Joanna says
It’s good to know that even if it looks bulky it is actually slim. I don’t have an Ipad but if i had I would consider getting a good protective case, as I am clumsy and I would probably drop it at some point.
Mellissa Williams says
I think it’s great that it is impact resistant, you certainly need that with kids (and husbands!)

I think I need a cover like this for my iPad. The kids always drop it now.

I definitely need something like this for my ipad rather than the flimsy thing I have now x

My nan would love this, she’s always moaning about her ipad and how it’s hard to hold. This one looks great.
Jenni says
Oh no, I hope it doesn’t cost too much to fix x
Evelina says
Oh wow! Very practical.

Brilliant. Every one of us has had a phone / tablet damaged. Cases like this are essential!
Steph says
This case sounds brilliant for toddlers, my little girl is so clumsy with the ipad. This would be perfect for her.
