My 2 year old son iPad has the Otterbox on his and its protects against him so you should be fine. I don't use one because it basically doubles the weight. If I want that I will break out the laptop. I use the Targus folio - provides protection and is very thin.

I went with the STM Skinny. Wanted something slim with the magnetic cover and protection for the back. Won't be the safest if you're prone to dropping it but definitely fit all my requirements. Nices one I've found.

Typing on my iPad. I tried out at least 5 cases from target, walmart and best buy and finally came up with the best solution for me. If you have no danger of kids using it, you can be minimalistic and go with a screen cover and a protective backing like one from belkin. It adds little to the weight. I then added a bumper since my 4 year old like to carry it around tile floors. I tried the otter box and it is very protective but it takes away much of the thinness and weight that the iPad offers. The other cases have covers that are in the way when you are using them, always flopped over the side. I can post more detail. I would recommend buying ones locally and trying them out. They are all overpriced. Once you see what you want, get it online .

That sounds about right to me.

If Playschool had a 'My 1st Computer" it would be something like that.

I can't help but notice how many parents give kids those things for long flights.

I have the targus 360, I love it but it takes a few weeks before the strong smell goes away.
