Some of the Best iPad and Chromebook Cases

Many schools and districts are now working to eradicate the paper-based learning model, with the introduction of a 1:1 program (one student, one device) which provides children with portable devices like the iPads and Chromebooks, many of which are able to be taken off of school grounds with the student.

It can be exciting for your child when they are issued a new educational technology device. However, it can also become a bit of a battle to protect these expensive and delicate electronics from the harsh treatment they sometimes receive. As a parent, it can be quite unnerving when you see your child running around the house holding the iPad or Chromebook, or even carelessly tossing it around the room.

Raise your hand if you’ve ever tossed your television remote at the couch only for it to bounce back in the air and land on the floor…

*raises hand…

Though getting school device insurance for them is a must, you naturally will want the device to last longer, and the best solution will be to get a protective case that can add extra protection in vital areas.

Some of the cases on the market also come with a level of water resistance to help avoid aquatic damage.

However, before choosing an iPad case, there are several factors you need the consider, like the iPad model. You need to ensure that the case you purchase is suitable for your child’s model. You don’t want to buy a case that will cover the charging or earpiece port, or one that doesn’t fit since some models vary in dimensions.

You also need to think about the level of protection suitable for your scenario. This mostly depends on the age of your child, and the environment in which the iPad will spend most of it’s time. If your child is older, then you may need a less bulky case than that for kindergarteners, which may require cases with more shock absorbing materials.
