So I need to find an iPad case to keep it safe from a 5 year old. Before you say "keep it away from the 5 year old" I can assure you it is for legitimate educational purposes but I can't disclose them here. Anyway, what would be the most protective case on the market right now?

Thanks!

Do a search for "kid proof cases" and there should be a thread with some reviews in it.

My newish 6yo does find with my Speck Candy Shell, but I'd probably go with something different if she was to be lugging it around on her own.

I second the Otterbox Defender. So far it's 3 year old boy proof.

The Roots Tuff Skin may be worth a look. It's thick rubber with good grip. http://b2c.gentec-intl.com/GentecInc/Press/roots_tuff_skin_for_ipad_pr.pdf

We have tried multiple cases for my 6 year old grandson who has autism and the best protection seems to be the Otterbox Defender. It's on the heavy side but he handles it with no problem.

Hi,
I stronly recommend this ipad case! I absolutely love it! I looked for days before buying this case. I use it constantly back and forth with work and other trips. I have flown with it and really like it as well as long care rides and so forth. It has easy access to your ipad without opening it all the way but hidden so people can't see the easy access without you doing it. Very strong, lots of pockets...plus a drink bottle pocket too! I forgot to mention there is a special pocket to fit your ipad in snug!
