I have to admit that I had some fears related to releasing the iPads to the students. We worked together to co-create iPad use and safety procedures. However, I know 9 and 10 year-olds. They might have the absolute best intentions, but in every classroom, things happen.
I was looking for an inexpensive alternative to the hard cases on the market. My principal had a set of iBallz to show me. I was intrigued with the design but further struck with the expense.

The company states that the iBallz are versatile and work with other popular tablets and other cases.
I found some examples of people dropping the iPad.
One test
I tried my own test, albeit tentatively, a few times. The iPad simply hit the ground, had a slight upward 1cm bounce, then rested easily for the next test.
I am more confident in releasing more responsibility to my students now.
