Bkz they appear similar, how does the Hardcandy SHOCKDROP POPTOP RUGGED CASE compare to the Gumdrop Hideaway in terms of drop &amp; general protection for the iPad? Thanks!

Hello and thank you for your question. The main difference between the Gumdrop Hideaway and Hard Cany PopTop is style. Both provide a high-quality build to help protect your iPad against bumps and bruises and include a built-in, magnetic stand with two separate viewing angles, a hard plastic internal frame & rubber external frame for dual-layer shock absorption, reinforced rubber corners for additional protection, and an integrated screen cover.

I only had mine 2 months before the rubber around the flip came off. It was completely useless a month later. The original candy shell (without the flip bottom) I has on my iPhone 4 and loved it. Lasted 2 years with no problems.

My 2 sons had Otterbox Defenders and both switched. They used to have to take the cases apart to clean the phone weekly. The Ballistic does not allow dust because it has a seal to prevent it. The shock levels are better. They love it.

The black plastic provides great protection from scratches and scuffs. I'm not sure the case would be most effective against a drop. What is more concerning is that the handle is not sturdy. I used mine for about a month, 5 days a week, 5-7 hours per day ... the handle loosened and eventually the screws fell out. If you buy this case, do so directly from the manufacturer because they have a great warranty (keep your receipt). I bought mine from a 3rd party vendor and the manufacture warranty was voided. I hope this helps.

I think the Life proof case is sturdier and more protective than the maxboost case. The maxboost case just snaps onto the back of the iPhone.

When the removable outer cover of the Ballistic is removed, it's the same size as the Defender from what I see. I like having the extra 2 layers of protection w/the Ballistic and how it's raised more than the Defender w/the extra cover and protects better when dropped. I think the Otterbox is much more attractive and almost bought it for that reason. But our grandkids like to play w/my iPhone, and I don't mind w/it in a heavy-duty case.

I only have the black case, and it's soft, but not gummy-soft. I feel that it's a good protection for drops, etc.Very happy with this case!

Just to be clear: This is not the Otterbox to protect the iPad. This is a set of straps to put over your Otterbox. The large part with the four corner holders stays on the iPad. The four corner straps slightly block the speaker hole and power button but they both can be used. It stays on well to my Otterbox and is easy to hold even with gloves on. The long strap is to carry the unit around your neck. The fat strap is to strap the iPad to your thigh, the big S-biner is to hang it. All the extra straps fit in the bag, which clips to the back. I used the neck strap once in the winter to carry the unit under my coat. Usually I just put the iPad in a backpack. Just to be clear: This is not the Otterbox to protect the iPad.

Um i mean its not as bulky as an otter box and its pretty but mine isnt staying snapped together like it used too. Im oretty sure that was my bad though, i probibly took it off to agressivly. It also doesnt have the clear hard plastic cover to go over it. The stylus is pretty and works fine. I mean i would definatly reccomend it just be careful takeing it off. Ive dropped my ipod multiple times whothout a crack. Also since its white i fond it gets dirty on the edges and dingy looking just from being in purses and fingers always on it. But it cN be cleand mmby sumply bleaching the white part. But yes get it, i like it, its light weight and not heavy or bulky like an otterbox, um so yeah.

I have the BakFlip HD and am very happy with it. Looks great. They do have many models. The biggest difference is aluminum or fiber plastic. The aluminum is a little less money, but may dent. You can look at the Bak web site videos, they describe the differences (also on youtube). I might have gone with the fiber plastic cover if I had watched their videos first. Install was very easy - perfect fit and I installed myself in about half an hour. Great shipping from Amazon.

Hi, HollyActually, I use both my Logitech Keyboard with the magnet top, as well. I sort of snaps in the holder, and I can have double protection without the hassle of removing the Logitech case. I love this iPad case, and it sort of disguises the fact that you have an iPad. The first one they sent me had a zipper that was sort of difficult to get started and the zipper pull came off the first few times I used it. The company was great about it, and sent me a new one quickly (and insisted I not return the initial one they sent, so I didn't even have to take time to ship it back)! The replacement case they sent to me was of good quality, and I have really enjoyed it. I hope this helps you decide. Hi, HollyActually, I use both my Logitech Keyboard with the magnet top, as well.

Dropped my phone many times and the case has protected it. BTW - due to the case's very tight fit, I had to cut away the material at the bottom in order for the charger cord to fit properly. Many years ago I purchased a case from Ballistic for my iPhone 4S which I use for work now. It is a much higher quality case - no modifications needed with extra protection on sides, front, & edges than this one. However, it was several years ago at a time when there were very few options. I enjoy the design very much and was willing to try it. No regrets! Hope this helps your decision-making.

I had the Otterbox Defender. This Trident case is hands-down more protective due to the substantially raised corners, which protect it in a drop in which any of the corners might be impacted, also due to the thicker rubber inside piece, and lastly, the thicker plastic outside. Also, as to the face, or front, the surrounding edges on the Trident are raised a little higher, as I recall, than on the OtterBox. I would say that for protection, this is better on all scores.

I'm not quite sure but I believe the difference is minimal and depends on the case. This stashback is convenient and slim. I bought this for my mom about a year or so ago and she hasn't taken it off since. She keeps her licence and important credit cards with her always. She's dropped the phone several times and the case has held up. The depth is so unnoticeable that it doesn't create a discomfort. It looks as if it's a plain old regular phone case.

if your familiar with Otterbox, there is the hard shell with a screen protector that snaps over the iPad and a rubberized cover for the back and sides. The other hard shell can be snapped on the back, front or used as a stand at two different angles. hope this helps.

It is not waterproof... It has good shock resistance i have dropped mine a few times as well as my 1yo banging my phone on multiple hard surfaces. The outer rubber is very grippy provides a solid hold on my phone also will stay put on car dash even with spirited driving. No hip clip. Hard to compare to otterbox that cost $50+ and this is under $10. Very limited options for my model phone. No otterbox or survival case. It has been a reasonable alternative for me ive had on my phone for almost a year now.
