Finally: A Rugged, Waterproof iPad Case That Looks Good!
A year ago, I whined and complained that, although the iPad is “awesome,” it’s also a “dandy fancy boy” — for indoor use only.
Yes, there are water-proof “cases” that are little more than industrial-strength zip-lock baggies and bulky padded covers that look like crap and, in any event, aren’t waterproof.
But now it looks like LifeProof is working on an iPad case that both water-proofs and ruggedizes your favorite tablet, without ruining its appearance.
The company hasn’t announcing pricing, but since the iPhone version is $80 the iPad version won’t be cheap.
