Had a Nexus 7. Really good but dropped it gently from about 1 1/2 feet in a hard case and in got a hairline crack in the screen that means the only way to use it now is with a mouse as the touch screen is unresponsive. Are all tablets that fragile or are there any that will survive a bit of a knock. Tried to search but it comes up with nothing. Surely there must be a market for something that can stand up to daily life?

An iPad with a [url= http://www.lifeproof.com/en/ipad/?path=TopNav ]LifeProof[/url] case?

I can vouch for the waterproofness of their iPhone cases - awesome things!

The screen is always going to be the fragile bit - I had an Otterbox case on my iPad which had a clip-on screen cover, but obviously that was no use when you were using it.

Mme Moonteresse made a bubble wrap and duct tape case for my iPad. It's been in my handle bar bag across the USA, down the Pacific coast up the Cascades and across Scotland off road. A cheap and cheerful solution.

I use a ipad mini in a grifin millspec case just droped it from 5ft and it just bounced. If it was to land screen 1st on a rock it would still break the screen though.

Treat the cause, not the symptoms...
