Best iPad 2 case for kids

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

I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link

Thanks!

I have the iGuy by Speck for my 4 year old son. He absolutely loves it! It looks like a cartoon character and it's made by Speck so you know it is a good product. The case is almost as adorable as my boy 😉

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).

Kids use the iPad often and there are possibilities to drop. There are many reviews on the web about the kid's ipad cases.

Here is a list which is useful. http://etopmost.com/10-best-ipad-cases-for-kids

This VAKOO case is pretty great! It has several layers of protection to keep your iPad safe from extreme drops (or throws 😉 ). It also comes in all sorts of colors and it comes with a kickstand! It is perfect for keeping your iPad safe from kids of all ages!

I would definitely go for an otter box case, because it has a good screen protector on it and it has rubberized sides to it. If your kids drop it it most likely won't break. Otter box is pretty good about being shock proof.

Rick ~ In iOS 6 (coming this fall), the Home button can be disabled — see HERE.

Here's something new and kind of cool. It's on Kickstarter now.

Look into Otterbox cases.

Shouldn't four year olds be outside having fun with other kids? They'll get addicted to this and never want to go outside or play with friends if you do this, most likely.

Take a look at this one as well : http://www.tridentcase.com/product_3_4.html

Pamela, thank you for posting about the Trident case. I just ordered the Trident Aegis for the iPad2 instead of the Speck iGuy.
