iPad Robust case for iPad Air 2

[macgrl]

Hello all,

I am going to be investing in a new iPad as my Ipad 2 has now died.

I take it out and about with me in my bag and sometimes to construction sites etc and am looking for a robust case to keep it safe. I know that "safe" is a relative concept and I am not expecting it to be indestructable just something to keep it from being broken if dropped or my bag gets knocked etc. Rain / water resistant to some degree would be great too.

I was looking at the STM Dux Case as a starting point.

Can anyone with any experience of robust cases give some suggestions?

(anything with a keyboard would be a bonus but isn't needed)

Many thanks

The Dux case looks pretty nice. I might look into this one.

I use the Trident Kraken cases on my iPhone and iPad. I have dropped my iPhone off the second floor balcony of my apartment and the case did it's job and it only had a small crack. I will continue to buy their products just because of this. They are mil-spec cases.

I had an eBay bucks balance, so I've decided to give the STM Dux case a try.

I've been looking for a case that provides drop protection for my Air 2 and this one seems to fit the bill nicely. When it arrives, I'll post up some pics.

i got the rugged folio for my ipad air 2 and I love it. You can use it as a laptop or disconnect the ipad due to magnets. its a great awesome case.

Have the STM Dux for mine which have been using for a while but just got the otterbox defender which provides full around protection including the screen

This one seems interesting.

I'm a big fan of the Thule Atmos X3 for iPad Air 2. No water protection, though:

Kristin,

I reviewed the STM Dux for iPad Air 2 here:

Excellent drop protection and except for a couple of dings in my review, I really like it. I was checking out the Thule, but I wanted the sleep/wake feature.

why using one at all?

I think the iPad Air 2 is pretty fragile. It really warrants a case, in my opinion.
