Suggestions for a rugged iPad2 case for a Speech Therapist?

Dec 26, 2011 7:58 PM

My wife just graduated from ASU with a degree in Speech Pathology and I got her an iPad2 for christmas as a combined graduation/xmas gift since I know she will be able to put it to great use in her future profession. Though after holding it yesterday morning I am worried that it may become easily damaged without a good case since most of her clients are going to be special needs children who can at times be a little rough on electronics.

So my question is, Does anyone have any good suggestions for a stout and rugged case for it?

I am a speech therapist as well and I frequently use my iPhone in therapy. I have an Otterbox Defender series on my phone and it has survived plenty of falls, spills/droolings, and less than gentle usage. When I can afford an iPad, I will be getting an Otterbox Defender case for it, too.

Has your wife checked out the app Autism Apps yet? Depending on the group she is working with, it could come in handy.

I have a Targus case that I really like (Targus Versavu 360 Degrees Rotating Stand, from Amazon) with a Zagg screen cover on it. That said, for a really great case, if you can wait, I would check out Lifeproof (linked below). We have their iPhone 4 cover, and it is great. It's much less bulky than any of the others I've seen, and is completely water/snow/dirt/drop-proof.

Congrats to your wife on her graduation. That's a very noble career choice. And good on you for getting her an iPad. :)

@happyapple: I second the otter cases. I don't have an iPad, but I dropped my HTC Evo from waist level onto the sidewalk where it bounced off the ground and slid out into the street. Not a scratch on it and the case still looks great.

@happyapple: Awesome suggestion for the Autism Apps, I let her know about it and she is excited to check it out.

From everything we have looked at thus far, it looks like the Otterbox Defender is most likely what we will end up going with in the end. Thank you all for the suggestions and the congrats, You were all very helpful. :-)

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
