What is a good protective case for the ipad 4th gen?

Hi,
I recently bought my first iPad (ipad 4). I want to get a protective case in case I drop it. Some of the features I want include, 360 degree viewing angle, auto wake and sleep (doesn’t have to have this but would be nice) I don’t want big case like the otter box cases. I want a folio case with different viewing angles.
the reason i want it to rotate is because i want to record lectures. so if you know of any cases let me know!
if you could help me out that would be great! I have been researching for over a week! You guys have never failed me before!
is the ipad smart COVER offer any protection?
Thanks
Austin

For drop protection, you aren't going to get much better than the Otter, but yes it will add some bulk to the iPad (really any high level drop protection case will). That isn't to say other cases will not offer some protection against dropping, but not as effective. The Apple Smart cover offers no back protection at all, and the Smart Case only minimal.
Not sure what you mean by "360 degree viewing angle" or why it would matter. Any case offering a portrait and a landscape orientation should work. (also not so sure how effective at recording lectures the iPad would be). There are literally hundreds of polio type cases available. Most will offer a number of angles in landscape mode, but fewer for portrait mode.
Even some fairly inexpensive folio cases offer the smart cover function.
I would recommend a trip to a full service electronics store such as Best Buy and have a look yourself. Really the only way you will be able to make a decision.

  • What's a good forge game for the iPad?

    I was wondering if there was a game for the iPad kind of like Gary's Mod or the forge on Halo Reach.

    There isn't one, and there won't be one. Apple and Adobe could never get a flash player that worked. And now since Adobe has ceased all production on mobile flash, there won't ever be one.
    Your best alternative is to explore the app store for browsers that support flash and see if one of them will do what you want.

  • Looking for a good folio case for the iPad mini... any suggestions?

    I'm interested in a good folio case that includes the smart cover feature.  I'm particularly interested in a case that has durability (most of the inexpensive ones on Amazon seem to fall apart over time).
    The other feature I'd like would be for the case to fold flat against the back in reading mode; even be held magnetically in that position.
    In any event, what are you all using and what would you recommend?

    If you enable your iPod for disk use, you should be able to do this without utilities (unless iTunes checks for this kind of thing). See, all of your music is stored (with garbled filenames) under <D:/iPod_Control/Music/> (where "D" is your iPod). So if you use iTunes's "Add Folder to Library" on the "iPod_Control/Music" folder, it should import your iPod files.
    So do this,
    1. Set Windows to show hidden files and folders, if it isn't already. There are plenty of guides for this on Google.
    2. Open iTunes.
    3. Enable disk use on your iPod, if you haven't already.
    4. Go to File > Add Folder to Library....
    5. In the Open Folder dialog box, navigate to your iPod.
    6. Go into the iPod_Control folder.
    7. Select the Music folder. Click OK.
    Note that on Windows, the iPod_Control folder (and its contents) are hidden, so you need to set Windows to show hidden files and folders.

  • Best protective case for the iPad?

    Which is the best case protect the iPad?

    In my experience the Lifeproof Case offers the best all around protection from both drops and water. It is quite bulky so it is definatley not for everyone but if you are afraid of damage it might be the right choice for you.

  • What is the best protective case for the iPhone 4s?

    What is the best protective case for the iPhone 4s? If I drop my phone I don't want it to crack or break. How protective is the Gorrila Glass?

    I am using the Otterbox Defender, and it's a great case.
    Gorilla glass is a glass applied to phones (not the iPhone, it does not use Corning branded glass), but the iPhone screen is pretty good against scratches.

  • Can Anyone Recommend A Good Protective Case for an 80G ipod?

    Can anyone recommend a good protective case for an 80G ipod?

    The Griffin Survivor is a military-grade case that I use. It's $40 and I purchased it at Best Buy. It has a rubber piece that covers the charging port, but can be easily removed for charging while still in the case. The only downside of the case is because of the added girth, it makes the iPod unusable with iHomes or other docks unless you take it out of the case.

  • (makeshift) case for the iPad Camera Connection Kit?

    Has anyone found anything that would make a good case for the iPad Camera Connection Kit? i'm afraid I will lose mine if i don't put it in something, but i do want to keep it small

    Go to the dollar store & get a cheap cell phone case. You might be able to get a case large enough that will also store the USB cable.

  • Overall how good is Numbers for the IPAD?

    Overall how good is Numbers for the IPAD?

    Learning curve required  but it works well. The user quide is very good, maybe look at that first..
    Different options available on Numbers for iPad to what's available on Numbers for Mac.
    Dragging around spreadsheet columns on an iPad is fun but probably overall not as intuitive as most apps until you get used to it.

  • Will the standard iPad case fit the the iPad Air or is there a specific type case for the iPad Air?

    Will the standard iPad case fit the the iPad Air or is there a specific type case for the iPad Air?

    The air is different dimensions from other iPads, so look for cases made specifically for it. I know that Targus has some, so does Zagg and i'm sure other manufacturers do as well.

  • Is it a common occurance for an iPad 4th gen to just blank out and stop working?  The screen shows nothing at all, no sounds but it registers on my computer when connected.

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

    Are you also using the same Apple ID for FaceTime, as listed under Settings > FaceTime?
    If so, don't.  While it's perfectly okay to share an Apple ID for iTunes & App Store, you shouldn't share an Apple ID with another person for the following:
    iCloud
    FaceTime
    Messages
    Use a unique personal Apple ID.  Whoever is the actual owner of the current Apple ID needs to keep using that.  The other person needs to make their own Apple ID, and use that for iCloud, FaceTime & Messages.  Maybe even Game Center to be on the safe side.

    I'm looking for an underwater case for the 4s, want to be able to use camera for photo and video?

    Its called the iCarPlay http://www.monstercable.com/computer/productPageComputer.asp?pin=2084
    It's pretty simple theres 8 preset stations you can use, there is always at least one that comes through clearly, It works great for me, but it depends more on where you live.
