Lucky enough to get the New iPad (3rd Generation) and looking for a compatible case?
CNET, which I believe is a very respected review source, provides a review of their top New iPad 3rd Generation cases. Although they review a wide variety of cases, there are a few that stand out as sturdy and ready for rugged wear and tear, often needed with OT clients young and old.
GumDrop Cases Drop Series Case for the New iPad 3 – Black/Red (DS-IPAD3-BLK-RED)
– Makers of the Gum Drop Cases are supplying them again for the New iPad. This is a tried and true case with use of the iPad and iPad2. Available in Black, Black/Red and Pink.
Hard Candy Cases for New iPad 3 Bubble Case 360 – Black (IPAD3-B360-BLK)
This case provides a bubble case with a built in screen protector. This is one case I might consider for students with learning disabilities to reduce bulk but provide protection. Available in black and white for approximately $59.95.
BodyGuardz Carbon Fiber Armor Full Body Skin for the Apple New iPad (3rd Generation) – Black (BZ-ACBI3-0312) – Listed as protection with minimal bulk, this case appears to provide protection within a low scale case. This is another case that I might consider for the LD students who may be using an iPad in school. $29.95
Ekto2 Protective Cover for Ipad 2 and New iPad, Black – This is protective case by Uzibull, that is made for rugged use but low scale. Available in black and white and sells for $32.95 from Amazon.
OtterBox Defender Series for The New iPad 3 3rd Generation & iPad 2 – Black
– Available for the New iPad, this case provides protection when dropped or thrown (we have testimonials!!). The cover provides a stand for the iPad. $89.95
There is a minor change in the thickness of the New iPad which may or may not require a different case from the Pad2. I hope I will be challenged by the prospect of finding a case for the New iPad. I am anxious to explore Dragon Dictation and the new camera capabilities which can extend accessibility even farther for some individuals with disabilities!

Any recommendations for iPad mini cases? Need something sturdy as it is going to be used as a communication device for my 4 year old. Thanks!!!
Hi Mike,
I apologize for the delay. Busy time. I also will share that I do not have experience with iPad mini (just not in the budget right now). I am quite partial to the Otterbox cases and Gumdrop cases which both have produced a iPad mini case.
I go to CNET for comparative reviews. They have a review on iPad cases – http://reviews.cnet.com/2300-31747_7-10014416.html you will find the Gumdrop case and Otterbox cases having good reviews. Many more to choose from.
If you made a decision about a case I hope to hear back from you. Thank you for visiting!

Thank you Mike!
