Together with my protector, my iPad is perfectly protected. To me it is not dropped but if it happens once I am aware that not a lot happens. The case looks very cool thanks to the pattern of, is easy to install and fits perfectly or is available from anywhere. The Ipad is grippy in hand. The material is very hard, not so lapprig as normal silicone shells. I am relieved that I do not get scratches or dents that never go out again if something should happen.
