How to Protect Your iPad: Tips

After having spend, more or less, $500 on your new iPad, you also should make the additional investment of protecting it appropriately. The selection available is huge, and ranges from simple screen protectors over full body shields to proper iPad cases. The right protection solution not only helps to keep your iPad safe from harm, but can also be considered a fashion statement. But what is the right choice? Read on and I talk you through the different iPad protection solutions available on the market:

Screen Protector

Perhaps the simplest solution, great if you only need to protect your new iPad against greasy finger prints and the like. The more advanced models will also protect the screen against scratches and more aggressive stains. A screen protector offers close to no protection against falls and bumps. Best for careful users, that want to keep their gadget good looking, but don't put it habitually in any danger.

Full Body Shield

The next step up, this special film protects your whole tablet computer against stains and scratches without changing the look of it at all. The appliance of it can be a bit tricky, but the protection achieved is well worth the effort.

iPad Cases

The most complete solution, especially if you choose a fully rugged, rubber iPad case. Some of these cases come with a stand, to make reading and using it even easier, others without one, for a more flat storage. Which type of iPad case you choose depends entirely on where you use your iPad mostly. If you take it for example on an archaeological dig like in Pompeii, you might want to chose a more rugged variety, that gives maximum protection to your gadget and the data recorded with it.

Waterproof iPad Cases

You will need one of these, if you use your tablet computer frequently in moist (think rainforest) or wet (think near the swimming-pool) environments. Also practical if you use it to look up recipes whilst cooking, as the steam in a kitchen can do real damage to electronic equipment and fat and grease stains would be difficult to remove from the computer itself.

Summary

What kind of iPad case or protection you need, depends on where you use your handheld computer most. Choosing the right one for your needs, avoids not only damage to your expensive equipment but makes also sure that it lasts for a long time. Saving on the case, after you have spend a considerably sum of money on the gadget itself, would be foolish and short-sighted to say the least.
