iPad 2 protective case

[bitminter]

Hey!

 

So the other day I heard that Griffin are stopping manufacture of their iPad 2 protective covers, which is a shame for us. So I was wondering if anyone new of any decent covers that are out there for sale.

The griffin ones were not great, most of the cases were half eaten, screens broken behind the protective shell and although they were "tested to US Military standards" apparently the US military's standards are much lower that that of a SEN school.

Just to confirm, yes iPad 2 from 2011, they are easy and cheap to repair.

 

Many thanks!

Amazon have fake griffin ones available. Some suppliers may also have old stock etc you could get.

We use the STM Dux in our school for minis and airs but assume the iPad 2 version listed above will be just as good

STM dux are very good. Educational discount to be had too. Try someone like western computer or jigsaw24

I really like the EVA foam ones that are for kids, but they do it for me https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/381974621197?chn=ps&adgroupid=52343051936&rlsatarget=pla-412712393691&abcId=1133906&adtype=pla&merchantid=101746126&poi=&googleloc=9046009&device=c&campaignid=1058608221&crdt=0

Some good ideas guys, we are looking into those now.

The only one which isnt suitable is the Dux cases, as that doesnt offer enough protection and give the students another thing to take off!

We're also an SEN school and we use STM Dux cases on all models of iPad we have. Only had around 3 smashed screens in the past 3 years which I don't think is bad at all for us

These can be found on Amazon for Ipad 2 cases and they are just as good as the Griffin cases: -

Wow that isn't bad at all! We are roughly 1-3 smashed screens per week, hence why we repair them in-house. On the griffin cases they tend to rip the rubber bits off, and it looks like the cases have been eaten haha.

Would be nice to have an indestructible tablet!

I really like Tech21 cases, though you might want to add a bulletshield screen cover too.

My iPad Air 1, has survived for years with an impact clear case, and i'm only on my second standard Apple screen cover.

We use the fake griffin ones off amazon. Not as sturdy but then no where near the cost either at £8 odd! They work well.
