Aylesbury – July 2, 2013 – Kensington, a worldwide leader in delivering smart. safe. simple.™ mobile accessories today announced five new protective cases designed for iPad® deployed in the school environment. The colourful and rugged cases are intended to prevent damage and theft of tablets shared within classrooms by students and faculty.
The Kensington family of SafeGrip™ cases includes three options that feature tough, padded protection against drops and bumps as well as a burly handle made for kid-sized hands that doubles as a two-position stand for viewing and typing.
