While all the shock absorption is great, what I found particularly useful was how all the ports are covered with rubber flaps, which is great for keeping out dust or grime. Tablets are meant to be used almost anywhere, so with the Drop Tech Series case you can feel safe using it outside—heck, even bring it camping if you can’t live without your iPad! When all four layers are snapped together, there is a tight seal all around so nothing can get in. As an added bonus, the case is airport security friendly!
Features
- Designed to be the ultimate in iPad 3 protection
- Compatible with the new iPad 2
- Rugged, standout durability
- Multi-layered barriers and integrated, snap-on screen cover
- Thick, durable rubber exterior and reinforced corners

Editor's Rating

| N/A | |
| 4.0 | Functionality: All ports are accessible here along with the front and rear camera. Because of the rubber flaps that keep out dirt and grime, the home button and volume rocker aren’t as easy to push. But the rubber does give some extra surface area so very useful if you are wearing gloves while using. |
| 4.5 | Protection: Polycarbonate front, screen protector frame, polycarbonate back and silicone skin backing. Enough said. It’s not steel but it is sure to keep your iPad safe from just about any damage—impact, dirt, bumps, bruises and even moisture to a degree. |
| 4.0 | Quality: When you have a case with four different parts, there is always a possibility that something won’t work out because of poor cut outs or manufacturing. However, this is far from being true with the Drop Tech Series – Gumdrop Cases flex its design muscles here and show the rest of the tablet world how to build a sturdy, solid and useable case. |
| 4.0 | Value: At $59.95, the case is a bit pricey compared to other rugged cases, but certainly not as much as you’d pay to replace a damaged tablet. If you use the iPad in extreme situations that require protection, then this is a great value for what you need. |
| 4.1 | Overall: Good Whether you are paintballing, mountain climbing or saving the world from bad guys, Gumdrop Cases Drop Tech Series case is here to protect your iPad. This is one of the best safeguarding case designs out there. |
