So, you just picked up a new iPad Air 3, and you have a child — say no more. Kids are great, but they aren't always the greatest when it comes to keeping tech safe and secure. You need some rugged kid-proof functionality, and maybe even shock and drop protection. Fortunately, because the dimensions of the 10.5-inch iPad Pro are the same as the iPad Air 3, there are plenty of cases available that mesh well with your new toy and your little one. Here are the best kid-friendly cases for the iPad Air 3.
Colorful and rugged
The Aceguarder is designed from a tough, drop-resistant material, making it ideal for kids who like to play rough. It comes with a multi-position kickstand and can be found in a variety of fun and eye-catching color combinations, making it perfect for kids of all ages.
Apple Pen friendly
The Armera case is designed from a high-quality silicone gel that'll protect your tech from drops and falls while still looking funky with a variety of patterns. It comes in blue, black, and orange color options and is incredibly easy to clean in the event of sticky little fingers.
Kickstand included
This Bolete case is made from strong but lightweight padding, while the handle on the case can also double as a kickstand. You can pick up this brightly colored case in black, blue, green, purple, orange, pink, red, yellow, black/yellow, blue/red, and pink/purple color combinations.
Versatile design
The BRAECN case is designed with a 360-degree kickstand, a hand strap, and a shoulder strap, while the body of the case is made from a durable and shockproof material.
