iGear's iPad Case Beats Otterbox, Griffin, Gumdrop, and Trident in Feature Comparison
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) July 22, 2013 -- The Slim Tough Case G2 has been winning the hearts of school technology directors. It offers rugged multi-layer protection, using a combination of (1) an outer soft rubber shell, (2) a rigid inner polycarbonate hard case, and (3) a built-in clear screen protector. The slim profile is designed to fit the Bretford and virtually all charging carts, including Bretford, Anthro, Datamation, and others. The built-in kickstand folds flat when not in use, and supports the iPad in both vertical and horizontal orientations.
When compared with other rugged iPad cases such as Otterbox, Griffin, Gumdrop, and Trident, the iGear Slim Tough Case stands out in several areas:
1. Customization – only iGear offers Tough Skin, a scratch-resistant decal that can be customized with full color school logo and asset tracking barcode. Schools can submit print-ready artwork or iGear can create the necessary layout and barcode
2. Flexibility – the Otterbox and Griffin Survivor cases do not fit in the popular Bretford PowerSync charging cart. The Slim Tough Case was designed to fit in the Bretford without removing any covers or stands.
3. Protection – In a recent YouTube video, an iPhone wearing the iGear Slim Tough Case was dropped 20ft from a second floor window to a driveway. The iPhone escaped without a scratch, while recording video the whole time. [See drop test video here. __title__ ultimate iphone drop test] The iPad Slim Tough Case uses the exact same construction.
4. Affordability – iGear offers the deepest discounts on bulk orders in the industry, often saving schools 50% or more on iPad protection. In large scale one-to-one deployments, this translates into thousands, if not tens of thousands of dollars in savings.
5. Hassle-free Warranty – iGear offers the industry’s exclusive Hot Spare Warranty which eliminates all hassles associated with traditional warranty claims. No phone calls, no RMA management, no return shipping costs. Schools receive 10% of the order quantity upfront, at no additional charge, for use as “hot spare” warranty units. When a warranty claim is required, the school already has the needed item on-hand for instant replacement. Any unused units belong to the school and don’t need to be returned to iGear.
According to an article published on Billings Gazette – "About 5 percent of the iPads purchased for school students and staffers in Powell Wyoming have had to be repaired or replaced since they were introduced last year. Eighty-one iPads worth $40,192 were damaged. Of those, seven belonged to teachers and administrators and 74 were assigned to students. The most common problem was broken screens.”
In an article titled “iGear's iPad Slim Tough case passes all the tests”, Examiner.com columnist Rick Limpert praises iGear’s Slim Tough Case G2 for being “kids tested”, saying “I like it because it is so sturdy. I feel like I can take my iPad anywhere and it will be safe.”
In a survey conducted by iGearUnlimited of K-12 schools across the country, the company asked participants to name the most wanted features of an iPad case for schools. The answers didn't surprise anyone:
1. A rugged case that can protect the iPad from daily use and abuse
2. Not too bulky – need to fit in the popular Bretford charging cart and kids' backpack
3. Built-in screen protector – easy to use, always on, no hassle protection of the iPad’s screen
3. Built-in kick-stand that works in both vertical and horizontal orientations
4. Trackable – school’s asset ID need show as a trackable barcodes on each case
5. Customizable – schools love to show their logo on each iPad case
6. Low cost – get the maximum amount of protection and features for the least amount of money
An overwhelming majority voted iGear's Slim Tough Case as their iPad case of choice because it's the only iPad case on the market designed to satisfy the needs of schools.
