Best iPad 2 case for kids

Listen, get an Otterbox Defender Series. It protects it. A LOT. It has a hard case and a silicone cas. The hard case protects the iPad while the silicone outer skin absorbs the blow. Also, there is a built in screen protector. I have it for my iPhone 4S, iPod touch, iPad 2, iPod Classic, iPod Shuffle, iPod nano, and MacBook Air.

These other cases are stupid. They look ********!

Nice to see video reviews of 7 different iPad cases for families, good work!

Hi. I have a son with autism and I've personally reviewed several cases, with drop protection as the primary consideration. See these reviews:

- Ekto 2

- iGuy

- Big Grips

- iBallz

I will soon be reviewing the GripCase and hopefully the iAdapter as well. From the list above my favorites are either Big Grips or the iBallz harness with the Lid wrapped around it. My son is 9 and has ASD, and his iPad 2 is protected by iBallz.

Oh, and Otterbox's cases are NOT good for children with autism. They don't offer much drop protection at all. I own an Otterbox Defender for iPad 2 and it's gathering dust in the drawer next to me.

I have a four year old non verbal boy who is autistic.

He uses his iPad as an augmented speech device with the proloquo2go app, so he is never without his iPad for a second. I looked for hours and hours reading reviews and comments about different cases out there. After buying three different cases, the best one was the Griffin survivor. My son has dropped it sevral hundred times, and has even thrown it a couple, also he left it outside overnight in the pouring rain. When we found it the next morning it had about 5mm of water on it and half of it was in a puddle. No water damage!!! We live in Vancouver Canada, it rains alot and very hard! It has a thick rubber outside with a hard inside.

We started with the otterbox defender, it was a total waste of money. It always fell apart and offered no spill protection, also I wouldn't trust it would protect from drops...it's very flimsy!

We then tried the trident kraken 2 case. It is a cross between the outerbox and griffin case. It has a hard outside, like the outerbox and offers some spill protection like the griffin. The problem with the trident case is it has two plastic clasps that hold it together. They broke off in two weeks, now case is useless.

The otterbox and the trident had bombproof iPad 1 cases, I don't understand why they changed their design for the ipad2 case.

Hope this helps any parents who are looking but can't find any real answers.

get the Griffin Survivor. I did a review on it here

My 5 year old has it on her iPad and it offers great protection!

I just found out about this case. It's the KidBox from KaysCase. I think it's very cute! Fits both iPad 2 and 3.

My wife and I bought an iPad 2 for my son Taylor who has special needs.

We researched many different cases, based on cost and specs we chose the Griffin Survivor Extreme Duty Case.

It was independently tested and certified to the “MIL-STD-810F” standards. The document that outlines this comprehensive standard is available online via any Google Search.

The Griffin Survivor Extreme Duty Case is available on Amazon for under $40. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004SPVZKW/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_title)

As soon as the iPad 2 was out of the box it went into the Griffin Survivor Extreme Duty Case. Installation was very easy.

iPad vs. 18 Month Old Boy

In between physical therapy sessions my wife placed the new iPad on our coffee table. We were in the middle of a timed physical therapy when our 18 month old son spotted the iPad on the coffee table.

We watched him wander over to the coffee table. He picked up the iPad, my wife was horrified. I told her it was ok. I had done the research on the case so I wasn’t experiencing the same level of fear as my wife. At this point we didn’t have much choice but to observe the actions of our 18 month old adventurer.

He tossed it on our couch, then proceeded to climb on to the couch. While awaiting our reaction while he played with the iPad. He then held it over his head as if he was going to throw it. Then he threw it across the room. It slammed against the wooden stairway door frame, then landed on the solid wood floor from about a 5 foot height.

Looking pleased with himself, our 18 month old walked over to the iPad picked it up and went back to playing the bubble game we downloaded.

Once the physical therapy was complete I checked the iPad, and there was no damage to the case or iPad. That was 3 months ago.

Since then it’s had water spilled on it, it’s been dropped countless times. It continues to function as well as the day we unpacked it from the box and turned it on for the first time.

Thanks to the Griffin Survivor Duty Case.

My neighbor recommended this product. click this link :http://www.eva-product.com/Super-Foam-iPad-Case-for-Kids-303.html

It is the best wiget since angry birds...lol It is slightly bulky but if you have young ones using your iPad, well worth it. My neighbors son just let it go in the drive way and it just bounced around and landed safely. Easy to put on or take off and very easy to clean.
