Schools almost always have decent cases on the iPads, and the backs are metal, so there isnt any issue with that breaking. With a decent case, there is a pretty low chance of the screens cracking at all. We rolled them out in an elementary school and had zero issues with screens cracking or general durability of the actual iPad.
Also, there is almost no other option. If you think there is a competitor with similar usability, support, specs, and is the same price, you should let some school IT people know, because Im sure they'd appreciate it.
Also if kids are cutting themselves because they are throwing iPads at each other while fighting, you have serious other issues going on.
- mensetmanusman 6y agoDecent cases are on the order of $100. If iPads + essentials are ~$500, it’s no surprise chromebooks are doing so well.
- thebigman433 6y agoCases are less than 100$ for a good one. The iPad itself is only 300 for schools, so even if youre spending 100$ on a case, you're still only 400$ all in, and this is assuming you didnt get a grant from Apple that provides a significant discount beyond that. Chromebooks have seen some impressive growth, but I dont think its going to sustain itself. The quality of the 300-500$ chromebooks is atrocious. They have to be replaced at least yearly, and the usability of this is very poor.
