Hi all,
My old iPad 4 carked it the other day so I bit the bullet and lashed out on a new 12.5" iPad Pro.
Now I need a waterproof case for it - so, any suggestions?
regards to all,
Allan

LifeProof. Expensive but very good.

yep, Lifeproof.

have been using Lifeproof Nuud cases for about a year and half now. my iPad has been drenched in saltwater with no ill effects. the cases also provide good drop protection. you can install a separate screen protector if you want.

i would steer clear of any cases that have an integral plastic film protector for the screen, as the air gap screws up touch performance and usually makes the screen harder to read.

i don't have one yet, but i think MyGoFlight make the best anti-glare screen protectors:

G'day Wiz,
I can vouch for the Armor-X, its been bulletproof.
It does have an integral screen cover that Fish isn't a fan of, but its been faultless, works even when you're getting firehosed on the rail.
The handstrap is excellent, I've had it strapped to my arm (nav) when driving offshore, works a treat.
NB: Get a really grunty charger, my IPad Pro chews battery like there's no tomorrow when wirelessly connected to the PC at the nav station.

Does any one know you can source water resistant charger cable compatible with a life proof case ?
