I just got an iPad - what to protect with?

[MuscleMommy]

Long story short I just received and ipad2 as a gift ( I will share the story behind it shortly when I have more time) and I am not taking it out of the box until I get a protection on it since I have kids. Any suggestions?

Zagg invisishield is awesome! I have it on the front and back of both my iPhone and iPad. If you want to really protect it and let your kids touch it I would put it in an otter box defender.

Well the protection should have come first. Would have solve the kid problem. Lol I kid I kid
Are you asking about screen protectors front and back or cases? Or both?

Agree with the zagg front and back. There are a zillion cases out there. Some book style. Some like phone cases. Some double as a stand. I like best buy because they have tons of choices.

Congrats on the iPad, I got no suggestions, just wanted to say that.

I have my iPad in a sweet baby blue Otterbox! It comes with an easy to apply screen protector and the case offers amazing protection! My 7 year old grandson uses my iPad a lot (especially on road trips) and the iPad is mint! I am sooo glad you got one!

Otterbox is the way to go with kids. I got an Ipad last weekend and purchased a Bear Motion leather portfolio type case from Amazon. Very good fit and looks businesssy. I am keeping the screen naked but I have no children.

I put it in an otterbox for now since I have kids. One other question I have - I plugged it in to iTunes and it says not charging. I am downloading the lastest software for the ipad as it said there was a newer version when I plugged it up - so does that have to do with it not wanting to charge? I plugged it up with the cable that came with it.

It really is charging. The USB doesn't have enough power to make it realize it is charging. It is though.

I was going to suggest zagg screen protector and the xgear Folio Duex, http://www.xgearlive.com/. In light of you having kids I think the Otterbox is the way to go. You may want to spring for a combo charger such as this http://goincase.com/products/detail/combo-charger-ec20035

Otter Box. Always.

I'm using a leather Smart Cover for the screen and an invisible shield for the back. I absolutely hate bulky cases, and the setup I have has been perfect so far. There is risk of damage if I drop it, but I'm careful and I love that I am not covering up my iPad 2's beautiful design.
