Designed to support educational endeavours, the MobileDemand rugged xCase for 9.7-inch iPad provides unparalleled durability and superior protection. Shock absorbing rubber corner bumpers along with a structurally rigid shell protect the iPad throughout your school day. The tablet is transformed
No other case has the proven ruggedness, is easy to carry and hold, mountable, or ready for add-on functionality like MobileDemand's rugged xCase for iPad. Business and education users, as well as super-user consumers need extended functionality over mere drop protection. MobileDemand has found users need proven ruggedness, but also the need to securely carry the iPad for extended periods of time. Users require the ability to mount the iPad in an array of locations including a vehicle, counter, wall, tripod, or other surfaces. Only the MobileDemand rugged case for iPad has the distinction to cover basic and extendable needs.
Proven Rugged – Distinctive rubber corner bumpers provide extreme-level shock absorption. The case meets MIL-STD-810G ruggedness testing, which means it must survive 26 drops from a defined height; MobileDemand's rugged case for iPad 9.7-inch survived this testing at 10 feet! Many companies use up to five devices to pass those tests; MobileDemand uses only one device and provides video recording and test reports as a resource for transparency. A port cover protects the lightning connector, preventing water and dust from entering the device. The design, quality, and standards of the case are proven to protect your mobile learning devices from rowdy users, yet it is lightweight for easy transportation.
Easy to Carry and Hold – The rugged case for iPad offers a convenient briefcase handle for effortless carrying, and a back handstrap to comfortably hold the tablet in the palm of the hand. A secure grasp on the device is key for ease-of-use and to prevent users from dropping the device, keeping IT support and replacement costs down.
Mountable – The rugged case for iPad is mountable thanks to the patented snap mount plate system, allowing for secure mounting, and quick insertion and removal. The simple, small, easy-to-use mount can attach the iPad to vehicles, such as cars, trucks, and even forklifts. The mount can be affixed to walls, tripods, counters, desks – nearly anywhere one can imagine – and is compatible with RAM Mounts.
Add-on Ready – The rugged case extends the functionality of the iPad by providing numerous screw inserts to attach any ancillary add-on device. MobileDemand also offers a screen protector for extra screen protection.
