Handing own your original iPad? Great iPad cases for kids!

With the UK launch of the iPad 2 just around the corner now, Apple fans are gearing up for that long wait in the queue to get their hands on the new most-coveted piece of kit.  It only feels like yesterday that the original iPad was introduced, but things move quickly in the world of technology, and it looks as though there’ll be a few once-loved iPads sadly discarded in favour of their new, lighter, brighter, slimmer sibling.

Long story short – there are probably going to be some very lucky kids getting some very lovely hand-me-downs!

If you’re planning to gift your old iPad to the kids in favour of a brand new, shiny iPad 2, there are several things you can do first to make it a bit more child-friendly.  First, an iPad screen protector is a must – it’ll protect the screen from those scratches and scrapes that can sometimes seem so inevitable whenever the little devils get their hands on any piece of tech.  And for extra protection from bumps, there are plenty of iPad cases that do a great job.

Younger Children
These Elmo and Cookie Monster cases for iPad are perfect, both featuring a much-loved character as well as protecting the tablet.

Teenage Girls
Take a look at the Bling My Thing! iPad case or the Incipio DermaShot for iPad in Neon Pink

Teenage Boys
Notoriously tricky to buy for – but the Switcheasy Ribcage Black for iPad should bring out the inner Batman in anyone, or try a classic Union Jack iPad case from Gelaskins
