I am thinking of getting an iPad 2 for my 4 year old. I'd like some feedback on what's the best case for it. I realize that there isn't going to be the greatest case out there and that I really should invest on getting it insured. At first I was thinking of getting ht new iPad Defender Series case for the new iPad 2 but I haven't heard great reviews on it. So I'm hoping I could get feedback here about what's a good one to get.
iPod touch, Windows XP
I got one Supershell , nice case for my iPad😉

All your posts in this thread appear to me more of a marketing effort on your part than an attempt to help people. I hope a moderator can review your posts and see if they agree with me.
Hi,
Thanks for the posts on the Griffin survivor (and to the other poster about the Otter case). We have 2 autistic children in the house and one is younger and more rough with the ipads. Our youngest child is not without the ipad for a minute when he is awake during the day. The oldest boy is more gentle with the ipad. We used iguys cases (we have 3 ipads in total). Now one ipad was cracked near the corner and even though all ipads are under warrangty/Applecare, Apple insisted we pay the $280 for damage replacement since they say the small hairline crack was a result of being dropped (the ipads are ALWAYS in their cases). Our second of the three ipads has a home button that does not work and the on and off button is dodgy. An Apple technician looked at this ipad too when we took the first one in to have it assessed and they refuse to repair/replace this one without the $280 change over (this one is also under the warranty/Applecare) so we are waiting till we have some more spare cash to pay for this one to change over. The last of our three ipads is an ipad3 bought with funding (I paid for the other 2) and this one is showing some signs of the face (glass piece) being slightly loosened although it is still functioning well. So from our experience, the iguy is a great introduction to the ipad to make it look more friendly but (due to the cartoon like feet and arms on the case) but if you have a child that gets frustrated (especially if the ipad power charge runs out) and throws the ipad, you need something a lot better than the iguy. I was going to buy an Otter Case but after reading these reviews I will also look at the Griffin Case. The ipad is a "must have" for children with autism and we have 3 ipads so we can always have one on charge. I never envisaged though that we'd have to pay to replace damaged ipads even though we'd had cases on them. (The cracked one was only 6 months old). I also noticed the iguy cases had cracked/split a bit in the corners (partly from the ipad rubbing on them and partly due to perhaps pulling the corners over the ipad when putting the case on and off). Any splits in the case which is a thick foam material would of course have lessened the protection to the corners which is where the most damage from falling ipads seems to happen. I hope sharing our experience helps others in choosing which case to buy or not buy. Spending $50-100 on a case is worth it if it saves having to fork out $280 replacement damage costs per ipad even though you have Apple care/guarantees.
I agree Rob, it looks more like marketing than helping and that's just a little sad isn't it? Considering it's supposed to be a discussion and not an opportunity to make a few dollars out of other people's problems.
Night guardian sorry to hear about your issue. I would go to another store or call AppleCare. That's ridiculous! Do u have AppleCare+? It's the discretion of the manager. Just kill them with kindness and maybe they'll be more helpful.
Thanks for the empathy hjapril and I too thought it was a bit rough. No child chooses to be born with autism and the ipad seems to be a lifesaver for autistic children because of the visual nature or the device. I thought it would have been nice if they could have swapped the white ipad for me (ipad 2 with home button and on and off button that are not working properly) and left me to pay the $280 for the black one with the hair line fracture. To be told I had to pay for both was a shock. The one with the hair line crack was only 6 months old. I'm paying the white one off through telstra (the one that doesn't work properly). I sent my partner off to take the ipads in to be assessed as the Apple shop is on the other side of town and we dont have a car that goes at the present time and I spoke to the Apple representative on the phone (the one who assessed both ipads) since he recommended we replace the white one if we could only afford to pay for one at the moment (I said no, I prefered to replace the black one since the fracture could mean a bit of glass could come off the ipad and that would be dangerous to the children). The Apple rep was a young man who probably has no idea about the needs of the children with autism and he was adhering strictly to Apple policy. It's a tough world for children with autism and a tough world for those who are trying to help them. It's a shame Apple can't bend the rules a bit in cases like this but never mind.
Hi,
Do you mean the Griffen survivor? Isn't that supposed to have a plastic screen guard? (I watched the video for the Griffen phone protector so I'd assume the ipad is the same). I really want to make the right choice after having had to pay $280 for one damaged ipad only 6 months old (our ipads are only used by two children with autism and one child has his with him every moment of the day). The iguy cases fail on the top corners since they seem to split a little (both ours have splits) and the corners of the ipads can be damaged it seems. I was going to buy the Griffen to try it out as it may be more suitable than the Otter box - it seemed to look a bit more friendly too (design wise) since children are the ipad users here.
Hi!
As I know the best iPad game and Case for toddlers, and bit bigger ones are Totoya Creatures.
It's an ultra safe iPad case with and education game. Your device stays "glueless" while your kids playing with it.
And they look really cool.
I found this interesting iPad case for kids. They are using non -toxic material with cool design
So selfishly I'm getting a cover for myself because I just don't want to have the EXTREMELY ANGRY feelings if I came downstairs and saw my ipad smashed to bits. Kids will be kids.....espcially if they have some extra challenges. (Parents of autistic kids are the true heros in this world....I mean that!) So am I a bad person that I'm overly protective of shiny electronics? Perhaps......but what makes me feel better is at least making the protective covers as cute as freakin possible! The two cutest cases I've found.....drum roll please.....
So HOW CUTE IS THAT THING!!! You just want to hug it!

Another VERY cute case and a close runner up IMHO!

The iguy cover was ok when my kids were very young. Although the first iguys I bought fitted tightly which was good. Later I bought some more which were too loose (same product but the batch must have been faulty). I sent them back but got one replacement that was too big which I have thrown in the spare room. The other was not too bad but still a bit loose (you don't want the ipad to fall out of the case or to be too easy to pull out of the case if little hands decide to have a go). My original iguys have cracks in the corners of the cases from having dropped on the floor and the ipads were damaged too. Yes the sponge rubber can eventuall crack over time! There is no protective cover for the screen with the iguy. Looking at the other case you recommended it looks like no screen protection. Using the iguy with 2 older children under 7 (one with quite severe autism) I have seen the ipad dropped on the tiles (of course the corner hits first sometimes. I wouldn't recommend these covers for older children, only for littlies around 3-5 and even then I'd be watching carefully with the 5 year olds or small children who are rough. They don't understand how much the ipads are to replace (usually $270 under applecare if they say the unit has been damaged). It's rough for an autistic child to be without an ipad once they have become used to it. My youngest child falls asleep with his ipad and his ball (he loves musical playlists from youtube). I highly recommend ipads for children with autism and for children who are normal. The benefits in learning, music and art are incredible and children seem to master the ipads faster than adults do. It also empowers children to be able to select and play their own choices from a range of apps you have provided them. I have apps for the kids that include music, jigsaw puzzles, construction and train track and putting your train on it ... and watching it go, farmyard fun (place animals on the farm), read along books, songs including alphabet songs, painting apps (touch and paint), matching games, video playlists, maths and english.. plus lots more.
