hey everyone.. im looking for some protection for my tablet... i tend to leave it out, and carry it anywhere so im looking for some form of protection.. would especially like to protect the screen as well when not in use... so im looking at a few options and would love to hear people weigh in on what they think about these options... i honestly didnt think id be using my tablet much, but i keep finding more uses for this thing i never even thought it can do... so the increased usage has led me to decide i should get protection
first option is the leather-esque folding cases, inexpensive, protect from scratches, and cover the screen really well so even dropping some smaller objects on it wont damage the screen
my other option is something like the gumdrop case.. in fact they make a gundrop specifically for my tablet... has a screen protector, as well as a thick silicone shell that apparently from reading reviews people have dropped these off tables, out of their hands, onto the ground and have taken no damage.. but these cost the most at about $50
third option i could look into are the silicone skins for the tablets... offers more protection than nothing, not as much protection as a gumdrop, but not as much bulk or weight either allowing the tablet to remain slim and light, and i could add a screen protector to this as well to maybe have a balance of protection and comfort
some questions.. are all screen protectors a film? how are they applied and are any made of a harder material?.. and how well does a screen protector actually protect the screen?
so... what are your opinions on these?.. which route did you go, and why do you think it was the best solution for protecting your tablets?
