Best iPad 2 case for kids

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

The Kid and school tough case market seems to have come a long way since the early days of 2008.

We just outfitted our classrooms with 200 iPad AIrs, and after much testing, we settled on the TUFFKASE range. We especially liked the Silicone iPad AIR Case. We watched the videos on damaged cases on their site, and quickly ordered them.

They were on Amazon for $20, but we got a bulk deal, and order them direct from the tuffkase.com site.
I found out about them through the amazon reviews : goo.gl/ifXtbD

I have not posted for a while but I thought I'd update on our cases. We bought 3 Griffin Survivor Cases and so far these have been good. I don't believe they would save the ipads if either of our boys really wanted to hurt the ipads but so far in many hours of use I have seen the ipads thrown on the floor on one or two occassions and on one occassion the ipad (in the griffin case) had liquid put on it (in this case the younger child was in a mood and peed on the ipad .... interestingly a tiny bit of wee got into the case between the screen protector and the ipad touchscreen so I had to remove the front cover and wipe the inside of the case and the screen with a damp sponge). Other than this, I also make sure there is no unsupervised ipad time (the children must stay in the same room as a responsible adult when using the ipad). So far this is working well. With 2 autistic children we have 3 ipads so there is always one on charge and in the long term I hope to have 4 so there are 2 on charge. We have many many apps for them both to choose from (educational and other) and both children have different tastes and the ipad is an integral part of our day. Our youngest child is very affected by autism but he loves the power of being able to choose what he likes from the ipads.. and knowing he loves music, we have made sure to put his favourites on there. To replace all 3 ipads (all 3 were not working with 2 damaged by the children), we got one free changeover from apple and we paid for 2 to be replaced which ended up at about 660 dollars. The cases were not cheap at 75 dollars each but they are nice cases overall and have a small attachable stand which the children sometimes like to use to sit the ipads on a table or such. Overall we are happy with the Griffin cases but I would not say they are child proof or water proof ... but they do give some degree of protection and I would always recommend children are not left alone with ipads since they are very expensive to replace. We chose the colour black for our cases so as not to detract from the apps and to be less appealling to a child to want to remove them (they blend in with the ipad well).

Both of these are so cute! I had an ipad and won another at work, so now we have two ipads for the kids. I have two girls and I bought one for each of them. Thanks for sharing!

But we found this instead and eally love the handle and convertible stand. The EVA foam offeres great protection.
