Best iPad 2 case for kids

I have the Duragadget case which has been fantastic at protecting the iPad when dropped so far:

I would look into the Chester Creek SuperGrip from Chester Creek Technologies. It's really durable with lots of padding all the way around especially on the corners. It also has cutouts for all of the ports and the camera. I know a lot of the other "kids" padded cases cover up or make it really difficult to reach the ports, the microphone and the switches but Chester Creek's SuperGrip Case http://www.chestercreek.com/supergrip.html is easy to use and protects the iPad really well. It also has an adjustable stand so you can stand the iPad up in either portrait or landscape view. The people at Chester Creek are super easy to work with too.

My two-year-old son has an iPad mini. We put it in the OtterBox defender series case. It has withstood a full year of everyday use. It has been dropped countless times, It has unfortunately been the victim of a few temper tantrums (ie. I think my two-year-old has a future in the discus track and field event) And remains fully functional with no damage.

My wife and I also use the OtterBox defender series for our iPads and have found then to be extremely durable.

Before arriving at the OtterBox defender series I fully tested the

Griffin Military Duty Case: The current version of this case is a lower quality than the original series for dust sand and water.

Life Proof Case, The marketing for this case was great but this case has many many drawbacks. Starting with the additional audio connector you need to carry around with the case if you desire to use headphones. The cover (an additional $40) and stand are flimsy and low-quality material. Additionally, there is no where to store the cover while it is not being used. The unit is fully protected from sand, water and dust This level of protection has drawbacks. The speakers are muffled for a low quality audio experience, and the microphone will not pick up your voice for dictation. Lastly, when you attempt to return your case to Life Proof they require it to be in the original packaging along with a 15% restock fee.

The OtterBox defender series comes with a durable and easy to use cover with stand. When not in use, the cover attaches to the back of the case for extra protection. The case is very durable and has grips on both sides for easy handling. Additionally, the case has a screen protector and all features of the iPad are fully protected, but easily accessible. I highly recommend this case, Because the cost truly meets the value of case.

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 Pink KaysCase is my little diva's favorite. I love how many educational apps available for my girls and now I don't have to stress about them dropping the ipad! Thanks for the tips eveyone!

Just found this case for kids on Kickstarter...seem pretty good (has sound magnifier !) You got to watch the video on KS. Check it out the link below:

Great product... i just backed one, my 3 yr old will love it....thanks Orchard!

While cute, this product really doesn't look like it would protect the iPad while in use. We're big fans of Gripcase. These are now widely used in schools all over the world. There are videos online of folks actually bowling with their iPads while in these cases! It's the best protection around - works great for our family for our 2 full-sized iPads as well as 1 iPad mini. (and I confess that I like using it as much as the kids since I can carry the iPad with only one finger safely)

What are u talking about? It's by far the best case for kids I've ever seen, it seems not only can protect, but also cute and warm...love it PadPouch!

Has anyone had a chance to try our AddyCase? It does a good job with protection and blocks the home button if that is something you are interested in. Please let us know what you think! www.addycase.com

Thanks!

Sure, this link should work. please try again.

I use the i-Blason ArmorBox with my kids. It protects well and has a handle which makes for easy and safe transport. Good luck!
