I just got my first iPad for my construction classes and I am honestly terrified of dropping it on a job site. I have no idea where to start with cases because there are so many different brands and styles. My logic was that the really thick ones with the big rubber edges must be the best but then I saw some that were just thin plastic? Im so confused. Sorry if this is a basic question but I really dont want to waste my 50 dollar budget on something that wont actually protect it if it falls on concrete. Do I need a screen protector too or does the case handle that... I just want something that wont let it shatter the first week.
I have been very satisfied with cases that meet MIL-STD-810G drop test ratings. Thin plastic is basically useless on concrete. You need multi-layer protection.
