Welcome to my first product review! One of the main reasons I began my blog was to talk to other parents and find great products that I might not have found out about otherwise. In full disclosure, I have approached these companies and asked to test their products. Some have ignored me, some have sent me samples, and some have sent me not only a product to test, but a product to giveaway! Big Grips is one of those companies and I am so excited to give you my incredibly valuable opinion on this awesome product!
As some of you recall, my dinner dates have changed drastically since the birth of T. I have decided to let him watch a movie if we are out and he is getting restless, and for that to happen I need to make sure my lil iPad is fully protected! I read about this company online and instantly fell in love with the chunkiness of the case. I am one of those people who thinks size matters, the bigger the better and all that jazz, so the fat, foamy case is right up my alley! Especially when a 14 month old will have his hands all over it.
I will admit- I had a hard time getting the case on. I think this might be a testament to my abilities more than the actual product though because Big Poppa was able to snap it on, no problem!
Once it was on, I put it to the test. Even though I trust this case, I was a little nervous to hand it over to a baby so we started on the carpet. I had no qualms about him throwing it down and loved how easy it was for him to grip since it was so thick. Added bonus- since his hands are so small, they were only able to hold the case. This means he didn't inadvertently grab the screen so that was nice!
Since I trust myself a little bit more than him, I took it to the wood floor to test. It survived AND didn't give me a heart attack! Granted, I wasn't slamming it down- I was dropping it from about a 3 foot height. Could it withstand more? I bet it could, but I am not one of those people who tempt fate! I will say, I would trust it with my 14 month old, and I trust that it will survive a fall.
You also have the option to purchase a stand to go along with the case. Make the investment! It is sturdy and will really come in handy at restaurants. I also have it propped up in my kitchen so that I can easily see twitter my recipe while I cook!
(Not true to color, but I liked how it looked!)
This is the first iPad case I have tried, but I really like it! I love the material and the color, and I really trust that it will do its job. It will also grow with T- once he gets old enough to play with the apps, I won't freak out on him when he grabs it!
Now to the fun part- giveaway time! KEM Ventures, makers of the Big Grips iPad case, have agreed to send a case and stand package to one of my lucky readers! They are even going to let you pick out your color- pretty awesome! Please enter into the drawing via the Rafflecopter widget below and I will announce the winner next week!
