, a trusted leader of technology solutions for office, classroom, IT infrastructure, and mobile environments, announced the expansion of its education product line with the introduction of the Belkin Air Shield™ Case for iPads. The Air Shield Case provides exceptional durability for robust iPad protection, designed to guard against the daily wear and tear of student transport between classrooms, and to and from school.
Air Shield technology features a rigid, protective shell with shock-absorbing edges and corners to protect an iPad from accidental damage. The case has been independently tested to meet conditions for MIL STD 810G transit drops up to six feet specified by the U.S. Department of Defense.*
The case is compatible with iPad 2, 3, and 4 as well as with standard charging stations and carts, such as the Belkin Store and Charge or Bretford carts. It offers quick, hassle-free assembly, perfect for large iPad deployment. Other key features of the Belkin Air Shield Case include:
Durable, protective shell construction and shock-absorbing edges and corners
Full, open access to all ports and buttons for easy device management and usability
Full edge, bezel, and back coverage
Thin profile and ergonomic design to fit small hands and most charging carts
Apple iPads are important, effective learning tools in many modern classrooms, and they can represent a significant investment of a school’s limited resources,” said Jon Roepke, senior product manager, Business Division, Belkin International. “Shielding that investment from the risks of bumps and falls when being transported by enthusiastic students is a genuine concern. Belkin’s Air Shield Case now offers a practical, affordable solution for extra durability and protection.
Belkin Air Shield Case joins a product portfolio that includes the Belkin Air Protect Case, introduced in June, which was designed to provide reliable simplicity without unnecessary bulk or weight. The Air Protect Case uses the same lightweight, high-grade material that is found in shock-absorbing running shoe in-soles and protective athletic helmets.
