We got this to protect the household iPad from the whims of a 5 year old girl who runs when she can walk and falls over & drops things as readily as hold them as 5 year olds do. However all that dropping banging, being sat on & being used to correct teddy whilst it's being naught would, I think, have killed the iPad had it not been protected in such a manner.
OK this doesn't provide the excellent design aesthetics of the 'nude' version, however no longer do I have to wince when my daughter drops it or spills her drink over it or generally acts with a 5 year old with it.
Brilliant!
...... So great in fact that I've ordered one in black for my one :), no i dont chastise teddys or daughter with it, or spill drinks over it, all i do is accently drop it or miss putting it into the bag and end up with it falling on the the floor corner first - except noe I don't panic as I know I am totally secure
