Sure. My case is not larger or heavier than the protection that others might want, though. My kid’s iPad from school is bulky and heavy from the case. Personal iPads in my house are barely heavier than without the cases.
Bezels are wide to accommodate hands, though, not cases. Good cases can obscure nearly none of the bezel.
- Retric 5y agoMy case is not larger or heavier than the protection others might want. An integrated 5-10 grams on a 487 gram iPad could give you a lot of protection. That’s about the point where they should survive a 4 foot drop onto wood/tile/concrete from any angle. I am not saying that’s going to prevent everyone from buying a case, but if close to 80% of the market is buying a case perhaps they could simply make something people would be less concerned about.
- dpark 5y agoMaybe? I’ve never bought a tablet that I didn’t intend to go in a bag, so I want a cover anyway. I don’t see that integrated bumpers do much for me.
- Retric 5y agoI am confused, what thin and light protection case can you get other than just bumpers? And what is it protecting your iPad inside a bag from? I am not saying your wrong, it’s just I don’t understand your point.
- dpark 5y agoMy current iPad cover is thin plastic with a “smart cover”. It’s not a bumper. It’s also certainly heavier than 10 grams but still quite light. It protects from scratches and very light falls, such as being bumped off a table. A drop from chest height would be iffy.
