Review on Topsky 2877893 Shock Absorption Defender Protective by Ryan Maruffo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It serves its purpose, looks colorful and cheerful.

Fits my iPad Mini perfectly with little difficulty in mounting. Feels nice and firm, and accessing the power, volume, and home buttons works seamlessly. Haven't tried banging it against a wall or had accidents with it so can't say if it's a lifesaver, but for most uses it's fine. What's more, it's definitely more secure than having the ipad mini alone. I knew it was only a matter of time before it cracked the screen, scratched, etc. Do you still have a chance? Yeah, especially if I step on him or something. Keep in mind that the front is raised around the edges, so it will take a hammer or something right in the center to break the screen and guts on the back. Also, the gray part is some sort of rubber that absorbs some of the impact and helps hold the damn thing up. Maybe not a life saver, but still does a good job. Well, as for looks, it's a matter of taste. If you are looking for something professional for the office etc. this is not your kid. It's a fun turquoise gray color that gives the whole device a toy-like feel. It has a bit of a sci-fi feel to it, like something out of an 80's sci-fi movie. In my case it wasn't for the office so I really wanted that look even though it's clearly plastic and rubber. Not only is he funny, upbeat and a bit futuristic or whatever, he's also easy to spot as he stands out. (I compare this to my Kindle case, which is made entirely of dark faux leather and is boring and also hard to find). The only thing worth mentioning is the stand. Works for me although I've only used it once or twice. Also the screen they give. it really was just a movie. I threw it away although I thought it might be good to have handy as my screen is getting more and more used and very dirty. The screen isn't that big but I think they need to be thin for the touch sensor to work.

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
