iPad Cases for Kids

Lately, I've been thinking a lot about using an iPad to support methodology when doing research with kids. I've been searching high and low for the perfect iPad case for a kid to use. It would have to be something that could travel well, is easy for a kid to hold and manipulate, and could stand up against a child's physicality. I've included some of the top runners below:

1. Not only is this guy fun, his arms are great grips for kids' hands

2. The rounded edges and grips make it easy for kids to grasp the iPad

3. A simple, boring case, with built-in stand and cover

4. The OtterBox looks like it could survive some serious damage

5. This Griffin case looks tank-like strong, even in dainty pink

6. The elongated sides probably make accidental drops a little less stressful

7. This chunky case and stand look like they'd be preschool friendly

8. This iPad case was part of a recent Kickstarter project

I decided to go with a plain, old black leather case (3). I know it sounds crazy after looking at all these cool colors and shapes, but it's the only one with a screen cover. I wonder why not one case for kids comes with a protective cover. If we consider that kids are being encouraged to use iPads for travel and to take to school, it might benefit these companies to start developing a screen protector. 

Which one would you choose?
