Rugged case to protect iPad 3
I was reading a post about iPad covers here, but it centeres on light cases. I am looking for more serious protection so am starting a new thread. Hope this is not a repeat.
I need a case for my brand new iPad 3 too. However, since i already own an iPhone, i know that my highest priority is safety. Dropped my iPhone a few times. luckily, i put a protective case on it before using it, so no damage of any kind. I am using Otterbox Defender there and it is working great. I do not care that it makes it bulkier since the protection it offers trumps the bulk for me.
However, i read reviews on Otterbox for iPad and see a lot of complaints about screen protector part on that one. I agree with them since even on the iPhone it is a little bit of an issue, and i have a strong filling that it will be a much bigger issue for iPad.
Price does matter, but i would rather pay a few more dollars (or find a coupon to bring the price down) than loose an expensive iPad because i was too cheap to protect it well.
I have found these 2 and want to ask if anyone has an opinion/personal experience with these or another similar one. would you please share? thanks

and Otterbox
I found someone who has the Griffin case and it is very heavy, much heavier than i expected, it is also by far the most expensive of these 3. it does look good and seem to be good for screen protection and have the openings for all plugs that need to go in. I also did not not see much of the lint mentioned in the reviews. the person have been using hers for about 4 months.
