The world of serious iPad 2 protection is serious business. If you live an extreme lifestyle and you need extreme protection for your gadgets, then you are going to want to listen up: When it comes to rugged protection for the iPad, the Gumdrop Drop Tech series case has you covered! Not only is it rugged and durable, it’s affordable as well, and it’s pretty cool to boot. Check out our full review of the Drop Tech series iPad 2 cases inside!

We’ve all heard the old saying “If it’s good enough for a Firefighter it’s good enough for me.” And if you haven’t heard this saying, check out this news report to see why we say it. The new Gumdrop Drop Tech iPad 2 protective case is surprisingly well designed and very protective. It’s the case of choice for fire departments everywhere… or at least in Oklahoma… It takes all of 1 minute to install, and once your tablet is ensconced inside of this protective battle armor, you can breath a sigh of relief.

3 Separate Pieces – One Minute To Install

The Drop Tech case consists of 3 different parts: a polycarbonate front, a screen protector frame, and a thick silicone skin. The polycarbonate front provides the rigid skeleton that the rest of the case is built around. It slides into place very easily on the iPad and wraps around the top right corner to give some extra protection at the camera hole. It takes all of 10 seconds to slide into place on the iPad and it snaps around it perfectly.

Next up is the screen protector frame. This is an optional piece that we just love! It consists of a thin plastic film attached to another small polycarbonate frame. This smaller frame then attaches right inside of the larger main frame and provides a screen protector for your iPad. The best part about it is that the screen protector doesn’t actually adhere to the iPad’s surface, it is a separate piece that stays with the case. Adhesive screen protectors are great and all… but sometimes they get a little old. It’s nice to be able to use the iPad “in the nude” if you want and not have to worry about a screen protector getting between your paws and the glass.

Finally you have the ultra thick silicone cover that wraps around the whole device. It’s got a cool tire tread on the back that lends to the grippiness and style of the case and it is held firmly in place with little silicone tabs that fit into the channels on the polycarbonate portion. There are dust covers on all the ports and buttons that are easily pushed or pulled back to provide access.

iPad Protective Nirvana

All in all, it takes about 1 minute to get this bad boy on and then you are in iPad protection nirvana. The silicone cover will absorb shocks and drops while looking cool at the same time. The polycarbonate shell will provide rigidity and strength, and the clever screen protector will keep your iPad’s screen clean and pristine even in the worst of situations. This case comes in 4 different color combinations and is a great affordable option if you are looking to get some serious protection on your devices. But don’t take our word for it, check out the over 200 4-5 star reviews on Amazon that agree!
