For a 6 y.o. Boy - will it hold up AND protect iPad when dropped? Thanks from an anxious mom.

It is designed to be the most protective PROFESSIONAL case. If there were iPads and cases when I was a six-year-old boy, my Mom would've bought me a LifeProof or Otter Box case for sure. If your boy will be using it frequently, get one of those. But if it is your iPad and he'll occasionally be handling it, then yes, it should be adequate. No spillage protection, but full corner protection. Note, though, that it is not designed to cushion impacts, but only be a layer in between the device and the ground.

No, I would buy him one that is thicker with more protection. It might survive a drop depending what it hit, carpet, a surface with give. But I would buy my child something different.

I doubt it although the question also implicates the issue of how durable the iPad is. Perhaps there are cases that otterbox makes for child use?

Sorry, I haven't tested a drop yet! However, it does seem to be a very protective case.

I love my cover and it is enough protection for me, but for a 6 year old boy....not so sure. The back is well protected but not so sure about the screen if it is dropped.

Might not be enough protection for a 6 yo boy. Perfect for an adult who would be a bit more careful with out. It does have a full back cover which is nice but if someone holds on to the cover and drops it leaving the screen exposed I'm not so sure it can handle it.

As much as I love this case, I would say it only offers minimal protection. I would get a more rugged case for someone that young. Otterbox is always a good choice, though expensive. Try looking a the brand name WORW Shockproof case. They make several variations, some with handles, and look to be quite durable without the price tag.

It has held up well for me so far. It does offer some protection, but it is lightweight and therefore not heavily padded. If dropped it will give reasonable protection to the iPad inside with one big caveat. If the cover is not closed over the front and the fall is onto edge of a counter or table or rock, there will likely be breakage of the glass. There are other covers out there designed to give much more massive protection that would probably be much better for a six year old. The one I have is more for an adult concerned with looks, weight and function.

The iPad is covered by the cover connected to the keypad. I would say it is limited protection since it is only a thin layer of plastic and not something that would sustain a fall.

In a sense yes, it's like a book cover it extends a little more then the ipad. I have 2 kids a 2yr old and 9 month old. They can't for me to set down my ipad. The cover has helped protect my ipad. I like the cover.

my son is 12 and drops his phone a lot. I have had no issues at all. So I would say yes...it would protect it

I would say it depends on the drop. I'm sure a couple of feet will be fine(I assume you're thinking of dropping it in a normal situation when you're just holding it in your hands. No parkour with a bigass Ipad). But then I'm not an expert and personally I've never dropped it so don't hold me to it. haha.

Well, I dropped my iPad on our ceramic tile a couple days ago and did no damage to it at all. This case is not going to protect as well as a rubber or silicone case, but the iPad snaps into place, and I feel it is well protected. So far, I'm very impressed.

I love it.......If you just bump the iPad it is OK, if you really hit it, it will come apart. I have had no problem with mine.

This cover should have a built in one that does a pretty good job! I have a toddler that frequently gets a hold of my iPad and it's protected it pretty well!

No, it's only silicone and there's no hard shell to completely protect it from a fall. The purpose would be to lessen the impact. I've done a ton of research and could not find anything comparable to an Otterbox type of case for a toddler.

I think protection level is pretty good. IPad itself sits in a plastic frame and folio wraps around it.

It should. We've never dropped it; but if it's closed and latched, it does have sufficient insulation - of course height and surface conditions will affect that. For typing, it's fine - keyboard or touch screen. The kids have knocked it off the slot, but that's only happened while they were playing certain games and tapping aggresively on the screen. We've also had no problem while using it on our laps.

Well ... My 2 year old tosses the iPad mini around. The screen stays safe & does not touch the ground because of the padded protection around the iPad.However, if it is thrown and lands on the corner of the sofa or bed, the screen is exposed & can get damaged. Although, that's quite rare & overall it protects the iPad pretty well.

Hmm I want to say maybe not bc it fits quite snug, which is part of why it protects it so well...so if you are asking bc u would like extra protection I can assure u its not needed...my 2 year old has done things that should have destroyed her ipad mini a long time ago if it were not for the iguy!! It's the best case out there!!! Hope this helps

I would definately get something more durable it will not protect the tablet from breaking just scratches definately get a otter box I did and my 6 year old has dropped it and thank goodness nothing has happen to it

It will come off but so far we have been able to pop it back on. My child who uses this iPad is 2 so she is a little rougher with it but so far this case has held up great!

I completely agree with you. My 4 year old had it for a day and broke the screen from a normal drop. The screen feels really thin.

I dont think so BUT mine is used constantly by a four year old....however we have two ipads and the other day she did fall down in the parking lot and the screen did break but the protective cover kept the shards inside....they are a bit expensive but I do highly recommend them...you wont regret your purchase
