This Armor Shockproof case fits iPad 10th generation 2022 models A2696 (Wi-Fi) and A2757 (Cellular) with forward-compatibility for iPad 2025 models featuring 10.9 to 11 inch displays. The case is precision-engineered for the new iPad design featuring 10.9 inch Liquid Retina display, USB-C port replacing Lightning, Touch ID power button, and landscape front camera positioning which is different from older iPad 9/8/7 models. The case provides exact cutouts for USB-C charging port on bottom edge, landscape-oriented front camera on top edge, Touch ID power button, volume buttons on right edge, rear camera on top-left corner, and speaker grilles matching 10th generation specifications. This case is NOT compatible with iPad 9/8/7 which are 10.2 inch models with Lightning port, iPad Air, iPad Pro, or iPad mini due to different dimensions and port layouts. To verify compatibility check Settings then General then About then Model Number and confirm A2696 or A2757 for perfect fit guarantee.

The premium ball-bearing rotation mechanism enables smooth 360-degree rotation with 12 secure locking positions spaced every 30 degrees, allowing precise angle adjustment for optimal viewing and handling across diverse use scenarios from portrait-mode reading to landscape presentations. The handle ring serves multiple functions including secure one-handed grip tested to 15kg pull force preventing accidental drops, comfortable finger loop enabling extended holding without hand fatigue, magnetic car mount compatibility for hands-free GPS navigation, and versatile positioning rotating between portrait and landscape orientations instantly. The robust construction withstands repeated daily rotation through thousands of cycles maintaining smooth operation and secure locking without loosening, while the low-profile design adds minimal bulk compared to traditional handle grips. Professional users value the handle for field work where secure single-handed operation proves essential.

MIL-STD-810G represents US Department of Defense testing standard evaluating equipment durability against environmental stressors including drop testing, vibration resistance, temperature extremes, and mechanical shock. Applying these military specifications to iPad cases ensures protection exceeding typical consumer product requirements. Our case achieves drop protection up to 1.2 meters or approximately 4 feet through dual-layer construction combining rigid polycarbonate outer shell that distributes impact forces across larger surface area with shock-absorbing silicone inner layer cushioning iPad from sudden deceleration during drops. The reinforced corner design features extra-thick silicone bumpers at all four corners where drop impacts typically concentrate, protecting the most vulnerable iPad regions. This military-grade certification provides peace of mind for professionals in demanding environments.

Yes, the integrated magnetic holder securely retains both Apple Pencil 1st and 2nd generation during transport. The storage groove is designed to prevent damage while allowing wireless charging for 2nd generation Apple Pencil without removing it from the holder. The easy single-hand retrieval design provides quick access when you need your stylus for notes, sketches, or signatures. For USB-C Apple Pencil users with iPad 10th generation, the holder accommodates this newer stylus model as well. The magnetic retention is strong enough to keep the Pencil secure during movement but releases easily when needed. This integrated storage eliminates the common problem of misplacing your Apple Pencil while ensuring it is always protected and ready for use.

The adjustable kickstand offers six stable viewing angles ranging from 15 degrees to 90 degrees, each optimized for specific tasks. The 15 to 30 degree range is perfect for typing on the screen keyboard with comfortable wrist positioning. The 45 degree angle is ideal for drawing with Apple Pencil providing the perfect creative workflow angle. The 60 to 75 degree range suits presentations and video calls with optimal screen visibility. The 75 to 90 degree range is designed for media viewing in hands-free mode. Each position locks securely with an audible click and supports up to 2.5kg load ensuring stability on desks, tables, airplane trays, and other surfaces. The kickstand mechanism is engineered for durability through thousands of open and close cycles maintaining reliable locking in each position without developing looseness over time.

The case uses premium dual-layer construction for comprehensive protection. The outer shell is made from high-grade polycarbonate providing rigid structure and impact distribution. The inner layer consists of premium silicone that absorbs shock while providing comfortable grip. This combination creates military-grade protection against drops, bumps, and impacts. Additional features include antibacterial coating for hygiene in healthcare and educational environments, UV resistance to prevent color fading and material degradation from sunlight exposure, and chemical protection against common cleaning products. The soft-touch surface with anti-slip grip texture prevents accidental drops while remaining comfortable during extended use. The rotating ring mechanism uses durable metal ball-bearings for smooth long-lasting operation.

Yes, this armor case is ideal for educational environments from primary schools through universities. The military-grade drop protection withstands the inevitable bumps and drops that occur in classroom settings with students of all ages. The secure handle grip makes carrying between classes easy for students while reducing drop risk during transitions. The 6-position kickstand enables optimal viewing angles for note-taking, presentations, and group work. The integrated Apple Pencil holder ensures styluses are not lost between classes which is a common problem in schools. The antibacterial coating is especially valuable in shared device environments where hygiene is important. Teachers appreciate the rotating handle for presenting iPad content while moving around classrooms, and the sturdy construction means reduced device damage costs for educational institutions investing in iPad fleets.

This armor case is designed as a standalone protective solution and is not compatible with Apple Magic Keyboard Folio or similar magnetic attachment keyboard accessories. The substantial protective bumpers and ring stand mechanism prevent the iPad from sitting flat against magnetic keyboard surfaces and block the Smart Connector pins required for keyboard power and data transfer. For keyboard functionality with this case, Bluetooth keyboards work perfectly and connect wirelessly regardless of case design. Many users prefer this approach as the armor case provides superior protection for travel and daily carrying while Bluetooth keyboards are only needed at desks or workstations. The built-in 6-position kickstand provides excellent typing angles when using the on-screen keyboard or external Bluetooth keyboards.

Installation is straightforward and takes about one minute. The case may arrive with the silicone outer layer and polycarbonate inner shell assembled or separate depending on packaging. If separate, first place your iPad face-down into the PC inner shell aligning all button openings and camera cutouts carefully, pressing gently starting from one corner and working around edges until all four corners click securely into place. Then stretch the silicone outer layer over the combined iPad and PC shell starting from one corner. The silicone is flexible and designed to stretch over the rigid assembly. Work around all four edges pressing the silicone bumpers down over the PC shell edges until they snap into position. Ensure all button covers align properly with actual buttons and all port openings are clear. For removal, reverse the process by peeling the silicone layer away first then carefully pressing the iPad out of the PC shell.
