Would this protect an ipad from a 4 yr old w/ special needs who would throw it overhead & across the room,or can you recommend another one w/ a stand?

My son is 3 and he has thrown it and it pretty much just bounced. Wasn't to far of a distance though. This doesn't have a screen protector or anything on it so maybe get one with something like that to prevent scratches on the screen.

I got World Tour Double X Keyboard Stand which is good enough. For child-proofing you may want to go all out with this Yamaha L85 Keyboard Stand

Should work fine - Air is thinner than earlier IPADs. The only limitation on this stand is thickness of the item you want to insert in the slots.

With normal use this cover is fine. However, if your iPad is dropped on a hard surface it will probably result in damage. The key here is to handle it with kid-gloves and you won't have any issues.

it's pretty stable on a table (!) but you cannot expect much protection in a fall, and zero protection if it's open when it falls. ipads are pretty heavy, and are pretty easy to damage in a fall. i do like the device very much.

I use it for the mini; it does support a full iPad but I might go with a larger stand.

Katie, I recently purchased the Belkin Chef Stand to support the use of an iPad Air in the kitchen. The stand is excellent! It is light and easy to store. The nonslip surfaces on the base and on the iPad holder surfaces hold the iPad securely on a granite countertop. The three surfaces allow one to place the iPad in portrait, landscape or slightly elevated position. I can comfortably use my fingers to interact with the ipad in all positions. I am very happy with the purchase and it will allow me to use the ipad in the kitchen. It would also work well in any situation where the iPad needs to "stand alone".

I thought the same. But when you have the iPad in the case you will be able to have a more sturdy case when seating at the standing position. Hope it helps!

I for one have not dropped my iPad(yet), but the case protects the four corners and turn on the iPad. But I do not think it will protect if the iPad was to fall.

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

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.

This is a great stand for my IPAD 4, but it "will not" hold and IPAD AIR. The IPAD 4 fits snugly into the preformed plastic tray on my cover, but is too thick for the thinner IPAD AIR. Unless it says specifically for IPAD AIR do not buy a cover.

I'm not sure about that but I don't think you'll need the defender box at all. My 13-year old has had two ipads and used iballz on both with out any problems. It can be dropped with out worry! I originally saw this on FOX News and they promoted it by dropping tablet on the cement in NYC. It is a great product!

Yes it does protect very well .. my son is 3 and has dropped it down the steps thrown up on it and dropped it on concrete nothing ever happened to ipad or case.. my daughter is 1 and she is not gentle at all with the ipad the case protects from her abuse. Plus if you every have any issues griffin warrenty is great they have replaced the stand for me when it broke case was fine but they shipped me a whole new case and all.. just keep you proof of purchase for warrenty..

I have a case just like this, if not this exact one for my iPad mini. I am looking for a new one now because I played with the stand a lot and it just broke off. I've had it for about 2 years. If you don't play with the stand a lot when the stand itself is not in use, you should be fine.

I have the iPad 3 and 4. However, based on how the device is attached; I believe it will. The only drawback, that I have found is the stand itself. It is easy to tumble over.

Ours broke within a month. My daughter just props it against something now. The stand is not strong enough or big enough in my opinion.
