My son uses my iPad as his de facto car movie watching device and I always worry it’s going to end up crunched between his car seat and the door. With this monstrous case, however, I probably wouldn’t worry anymore. I’d just worry about carrying the freaking iPad.

The $89 dollar Defender has “three layers of shock protection” and even includes a little stand for propping up your device. The three layers include a hard plastic shell, silicone protectors, and a thin film for the screen.

Obviously it’s a bit of overkill, but don’t we all need some of that in our lives?
