Speck’s iGuy Freestanding iPad Mini Case

Speck’s iGuy Freestanding iPad Mini Case

Speck’s design on this case is amazing: it turns the KIDS IPAD 4 CASE into a child’s best friend. The legs and arms give the case a life-like appearance while also serving to stand up the case (for watching cartoons and movies), and the arms become handles that your child can easily pick up the iPad Mini and carry it around with him. The incredibly light weight EVA foam (non-toxic) is soft and squishy (Speck refers to it as ‘huggable’ material). The arms and legs are bendy and tough, so your child can play with the case all day long without causing any wear or tear.

2. Kayscase KidBox for the iPad Mini – “Bluey”

Like Speck’s “iGuy” case, Bluey is a free standing case that’s made of the same EVA foam material that is soft, flexible and virtually impact proof. It has an ingenious design where you fold down the top handle and it becomes a stand for the iPad Mini. While not as stable as the ‘iGuy’ it has the added benefit of being more compact (so it can travel in a backpack), and has a raised screen bezel to prevent splashes and spills from affecting the iPad Mini’s screen.
In addition to “Bluey”, there’s also several other colors available for this case, including: Pinky, Limey, and Orange.

3. i-Blason Kido Armorbox for the iPad Mini

Similar in look and style to Kayscases’ Bluey, the i-Blason is made of the same EVA foam material and has a handle that you can convert into a stand for two different viewing angles. The sides on this case are a little more textured for a better grip, but other than that this case is virtually identical. However, you do get more choices in colors!
Other Colors Available: Black, Green, Orange, and Pink.

4. Otterbox Defender Series iPad Mini Case

While the Otterbox Defender cases are not built specifically for children, they are built like tanks. The Otterbox Defender series of iPad Mini cases have three layers of impact protection: a tough outer shell, and softer impact absorbing rubberized material to surround the case, and an included screen protector. A case like this ensures that you will never need to worry about your iPad Mini getting damaged. The case has port covers to protect against dirt and moisture, and raised buttons that fit over the iPad Mini’s native buttons. The case will fit neatly into a backpack as well, so it’s portable.
The downside? There is no stand for the Otterbox Defender, so if you need one then you would need to buy one separately.
