Drop, bump and scratch protection for school, home and community settings
For people with a disability, iPads are more than devices — they’re essential tools for telehealth and supports, communication (AAC), learning and daily living. A quality rugged iPad case reduces the risk of damage from accidental drops and everyday bumps so the device stays reliable when it matters.
Why choose a rugged case
- Impact protection – multi-layer construction cushions corners and edges.
- Durable materials – ABS or polycarbonate shell with silicone or TPU impact layer.
- Screen and port safety – raised bezels, sealed covers; add toughened glass for extra scratch resistance.
- Accessibility – hand and shoulder straps, kickstands and tactile buttons to support independent use.
- Waterproof options – ideal for outdoor programs and community activities.

FAQs
Will a rugged case affect touch or AAC apps?
Quality cases maintain full touch and stylus access. Choose designs with responsive button covers and raised bezels for protection without obstructing the screen.
Can I get a case with a hand or shoulder strap?
Yes. Many rugged cases include hand or shoulder straps, or support add-on strap kits to reduce drops and improve handling in therapy and classroom settings.
Are waterproof iPad cases really waterproof?
Check the IP rating (e.g., IP68) and follow the manufacturer’s guidance for depth and duration. Inspect seals and ports before exposure to water.
Which case is best for school or day programs?
Choose cases with reinforced corners, multi-layer build, strap or kickstand options, and wipe-down friendly materials for shared environments.
