BEST iPad 2 case for Kids

My 5 year old has the Griffin Survivor 2 on her iPad, it's a great case.
See my review on it here
http://livinthemommylife.blogspot.com/2012/02/griffin-survivor-ipad-2-case-revie w.html

Thank you all SO much! My 2 1/2 y.o. uses my iPad and I've been paranoid about her dropping it! I was familiar with the Otterbox series, since I have a Defender case for my iPhone 4, but was not familiar with the Trident Kraken! I think this will be a perfect fit for her, especially since she's often frustrated because of accidental screen swipes, or from where she holds the screen, and it's slightly extended handles seem to be the perfect solution. I also found it on Amazon for $27! Nice!
I'd also like to add to @HuskieN, there are 24 hours in a day and if the other parents here are like me, our children get PLENTY of outside play time, as well as other extra-curricular activities such as dance and music class, however, there are times when she needs to sit still, and I'd much rather she play with the eLearning's Spanish flash cards, or Kids Manadarin language matching game than turn what should be a 30 min affair into a 2 hour one.
We're raising well-rounded children, ones who are physically, emotionally, spiritually, socially, and technologically experienced, so don't knock others parenting tacticts unless you know and understand the fullness of them.

BEST iPad 2 case, WITH screen protection built in!!

I am looking for the best ipad 2 case. I know there are other posts on here, but I can never find the information I am personally looking for.
First of all let me start by saying I have an iphone 3gs. On my iphone I have an otterbox which is water resistant, shock proof, and it COVERS the screen.
That is exactly what I want, except I want it in ipad 2 form.
I am looking for an ipad 2 case that has a screen. I do not want a screen protector I want my case to have the screen. But I havent come accross any like that. I bought an otterbox but it didn't have a screen, I don't know if I bought the wrong otterbox, but if anyone could help me, I would greatly appreciate it!!
Thankssss

You'll get more responses to this in the "Using iPad" forum then here... you may want to move it.
But to start - what do you mean by wanting a case that "covers the screen" and "to have the screen" but not a screen protector? It seems like you want a case that covers the screen but at the same time lets you use the screen? But is not a screen protector?

Got to the App Store and search on Keyboard - there is one in colors, Keyboard Pro, and others. See if one of those looks like it would serve your needs batter than the built-in keyboard.

What is the best iPad to get for elders/old people?

Hello.
What is the best iPad model to get for old people/elders who are over 60 years old? I assume iPads' iOS can do DPI to adjust sizes for bigger
visuals. Also, it needs to work well with both English and Chinese
Thank you in advance.

All iPads can read and write Chinese and can also have Chinese user interface. They can even accept Chinese handwriting input. Plus Chinese SIRI, Dictation, and Dictionaries. See

What is the best iPad air case?

Just got my new ipad and have been trying to find a decent case/cover for it. I used to have a belkin tri-fold cover/case for my ipad 3 and that did the job. With the air being so thin and light i dont want to beef it up too much with a cover.
Had been looking at the Logitech protective folio case - but read that it's very heavy.
Any suggestions or recommendations?????????

I got the Smart Cover (front side only) and now I'm looking for something to protect the back side. I didn't purchase the Smart Case because it's too expensive. I don't want to add thickness to it either. I just need something to protect the device while I'm on the go. This sleeve looks great:

LivingSocial has a 50% discount coupon. Head over to slickdeals. Search for incase for iPad. That's how I got mine. I'm about to get one tonight.
EDIT:
I just read a response from Kappy after posting my reply. I'm new here and honestly don't know this forum rules. If my post violates the rule... mods, feel free to delete my reply in this thread.

Best iPad/general coverage for travelers? (including theft, water)

I'll be traveling in Ecuador for a year and am looking to add some insurance/coverage to my new iPad 3. I say it's new, but I've had it now for 85 days, so I know some insurance/coverage options might be out if they require the device to be purchased within the last 30 days.
I'm not sure if I would be better off with a general traveler's insurance but I figure I would like to have this insurance here and abroad.
I need options for international coverage including:
theft
drops
spills, water, humidity
possibly loss (I'm not sure if this is a must yet)
can be purchased after 30 days
Here is what I have seen thus far:
Worth Ave group
Safeware
Gocare (not sure if they are international)
ProtectMe (not sure if they are international)
Protect Your Bubble? (not sure if they are international)
Securranty (not sure if they cover theft and looks like they have a 30 day limit)
Obviously I have more research to do on these options but couldn't find everything right away.
Does anyone have experience with these or recommendations? I would love to hear it.
Thank you.

I did take a look at the case but since I'll be living in the humidity, I wouldn't be willing to open the case and actually use the iPad. If it wasn't for the humidity, this would be a nice option.
So instead I'm looking for a waterproof case, but unfortuneately most of them are basically high-end ziploc bags.
I'm hoping that Lifeproof come out with their case before I leave or Otterbox releases an Armor Series case for the iPad, but I'm not holding my breath.

IPad 2 case for student use?

Hi!
I'm going to buy an iPad 2 for use in medical school. To protect it I need a case.
I have read alot online, but it seems that there really isn't that many suggestions for students specifically.
Criteria:
1. Protect: protecting the back, sides, corners and screen as much as possible without adding to much bulk.
2. Sleep/wake feature: support the magnetic sleep/wake feature of the iPad 2.
3. Typing: have a nice and stable typing stance. I will not be using an external keyboard, but rather do all of the typing straight on the iPad 2.
I hope someone can help me out.

If compactness is important, and you are comfortable with the on screen keyboard, then you probably want to avoid the cases with built in bluetooth keyboards. They will add size and wieght (to a dgree) and certainly cost.Beyond that, you will have to make some decisions about what you need the case to do.
For example, when I picked up the case I am currently using for my new iPad, I wanted low cost (I'm rough on them so will need to replace at some point), decent padding to protect from bumps and such, and to be able to easily get it out of the case since I like using the ipad without a case when I feel it is safe. The smart cover feature was not a concern since i find that peice of functionality to be a waste of time. I ended up with a Rocket Fish. Simple design, meets my needs and i don't have much invested, so easy enough to replace if I run accross something a lot better. (also, this was early on and there weren't a lot of cases in the stores yet). Obviously, from the information provided, that case wouldn't be to your liking.
If you have the ability to, go and actually look at and hold some cases. very often that tells you more about how well the case would work than reccomendations and reveiws. and make sure you are clear on what you need the case to do.
For out and out protection, however, you probably can't do much better than Otterbox. My company has deployed iPads on construction sites and chose the Otterbox Defender as the REQUIRED case for all iPad orders.

What are the best ipad mini cases

Does any one have any recomendations foran ipad mini cases?

I agree with the earlier post, you gotta go with the Otterbox Case. I purchased this case for my IPad Mini. It is a perfect fit and does not add much weight at all. It is great protection and a necessity to have this for the IPAD Mini. The stand is nice for both upright and side display of the iPad Mini on my desk.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009WU5XUG
I'm what you consider a gadget junkie always trying out new products and since the introduction to tablets (iPad's) I've been searching for that perfect case as well. I've owned the clamcase (keys broke three months from purchase date and yes, just after the warranty expired), hard shell, soft shell, leather cases, and the Otterbox Defender case for the iPad2. The previous edition I was not as impressed with. The silicon was a bit loose and felt too bulky but it did do it's job twice, when I dropped it on concrete. I just purchased the iPad Mini and shopping for a case, a young man sold me this otter box that was his display. This case rocks!!! The silicon wraps tightly around the plastic case which feels like one entire piece. It does add to the weight of the mini but definitely better than the larger version, not to mention, the peace of mind knowing it's protected. Also, the rubber port covers for the plug, earphones actually stay in place when pushed in.
A brief word about some of the AMAZING features of this case... The screen protector is built in to the top part of the case, and although I had trepidation about that initially, my fears were allayed; the screen sits on the screen directly and there is no space between the screen and the protector. The removable cover doubles as a stand in several positions, and feels like Cole Hamels could throw a fastball at it and it would still protect the screen. Also, you can use it on the front or the back so if you're throwing your mini in a backpack or luggage, you can do it without fear.
Obviously there's not too much to say about this case that hasn't already been said. It's tough, it's stylish and it's functional. But that should be no surprise... OtterBox is renowned for their cases by now. All I can recommend is this: to those who are wondering whether it is worth the money, imagine what it will be like to take your iPad mini out of the OtterBox in a year and have it look exactly the same as the day you bought it. No scratches, no scuffs, cracks.
It's just an amazing case, well worth money for the peace of mind it brings.

Best Ipad3 case with keyboard? Can I use a Ipad 2 case for Ipad 3?

I just bought the Ipad3 and I need to buy the case, but all the cases I found are for the Ipad 2 - are the Ipad 2 and 3 the same size? Can I use same case?
Which one is the best case with keyboard for ipad 3?
Thanks!

First, we have a whole bunch of threads on this, so a search would help, and it would offer dozens of answers to this you might want to think about including a long thread where I reviewed a whole bunch of keyboards for the ipad3....
But in short,
The Zagg Folio fits both the 2 and the 3 -- most people are finding in general that almost all cases made for the ipad 2 work with the iPad 3....
The Zagg has what I have found to be, by far, the best keyboard with the least errors -- in fact, I was able to get about 60 wpm on the keyboard without error after only a few minutes of practice. The downside is that the case is flimsy, looks kinda cheap, and its really hard to get the iPad out of the folio case -- I've found I have stopped using the folio at all, and just use the keyboard on my desk at work.
The clamcase fits both the ipad 2 and the iPad 3 -- it is by far the best overall case/keyboard that I have found. It looks great -- and the keyboard works well. Because of the realignment of the magnets in the ipad 3, it does not turn on/turn off the iPad like it does with the ipad 2, where that works flawlessly.
The downside is that the keys are cramped, and the error rate increases. With about a half hour of practice, I got about a 45 wmp typing rate, and that included several errors that required correction. It's a tradeoff because the keyboard feels good, the response is good, but because the keys are not seperated it is harder to type. I use this case only when I go on longer trips and don't want to take my laptop.
The nest overall keyboard is the Apple bluetooth keyboard without a case -- but it's a pain to lug it along, and you need a seperate "easel" for your ipad. Still, it's the best keyboard you can use -- and I get 65 wpm error free with this keyboard. I have one at home, and it's my keyboard of choice when you don't need the case.
Finally, I've gound that Brookstone makes a decent keyboard -- it works well, comes in multiple colors, and its actually more stable than the Zagg folio. The keyboard is not as good, though, and is plastic-y feeling. Still, it might be a fair tradeoff.
Almost all other keyboards are made by the same companies and distributed to third parties who put them into their own cases. I'd stay away from most of the other keyboards.
Overall -- for the convenience of the sheer folio thing, the Clamcase is about as good as it gets, even though it is about 50 dollars more than the Zagg and other similar models. Plus it makes your iPad look like a macbook, which is kind of cool.

What is the best way to make an IPad mini safe for kids?

I am looking to purchase an IPad Mini for my son who is 9years old. I am hoping to find out what settings or software I can employ to help make the internet safer for him. He would like to search his ideas and projects but i am concerned about what inappropriate things he may stumble upon. Any help?

There are some restrictions you can make. Settings>General>Restrictions.
See also the manual:
https://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
But, realistically, if you give your child access to the internet, they will, eventually stumble upon something you might find inappropriate. As with any tool that could potentially be dangerous but that you want your child to learn how to use, proper supervision is key.
Best of luck.

Best type of case for iPod Video 30GB

Merry Christmas everyone!
I just got a new iPod Video (30GB), and I'm looking into accessories for it. I want to buy a case that's good to protect the ipod from scratches and such, as well as if I accidentally drop it. I know there are a lot of good minds out there.. what would anybody recommend that would do the job, but at a considerable price (around 20-25 bucks)?
Thanks in advance!
iPod Video 5th Gen 30GB; iPod 4th Gen 40GB Windows XP

best I've found so far is an iskin. It's over your price limit but provides top of the line protection for screen as well as thumpage protection (I drop mine a lot)
