We recently expanded our 'tablet family' with an iPad Mini, and while I thought that it was something that I could keep for myself rather than sharing with The Boy, he has very firmly developed a preference for it. I suspect it's based on the size and manageability of it; in comparison to the iPad 3 it's two inches smaller and easier for a child to use.
When this became apparent, I realised that we'd need a safe and strong case for it, in order to protect it from bumps and scrapes which are bound to happen. We were offered the Otterbox case to review and were eager to put it through its paces.
