If only the Pelican HardBack allowed you to use the tablet while encased, and the iBallz covered more parts of the tablet. Certainly not by default, the Ballistic Tough Jacket Series is a justified Best Rugged Case winner. This quality-built case offers a great balance of function and protection at a price cheaper than some of its closest rivals.

Yes, the potential slogans for a product called “iBallz” are easily dreamed up. But funny name aside, the truth is that the iBallz Original is one of the most convenient and inexpensive ways to upgrade an Apple iPad or 10” tablet. Instant rugged case-style protection against drops is added to the device in seconds with this easy-on, easy-off accessory - so give your tablet some ballz today! (Oops, sorry.)
