The team over at G-Form<\/a> has become renowned in making protective-gear designed to take a beating, a serious beating!<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nWhether it be knee-guards, bike saddles or even iPad covers, their products are not only designed to be put to the test, but actually are.<\/p>\n

All of their products have associated videos showing Vice President, Thom Cafaro, performing some obscure test, to prove that their products are not just all talk.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The latest to come off the factory line is the “Extreme Portfolio” for the iPad 1 & 2 or any other 10″ tablet. It uses soft outer covers as opposed to its competition’s hard-shell style. This method is allowing the Extreme Portfolio to absorb 90% of the energy, as well as stiffen on impact.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nYou can see in this video<\/em><\/a> from YouTube, where the iPad managed to perfectly survive a fall from around 400m up. I am not 100% convinced though, with the device landing in some nice soft grass on impact, and a guy waiting on the ground for the skydivers.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

But this test<\/em><\/a> has me hooked. A crane lifting Thom almost 20m in the air, and dropping 2 iPads onto solid concrete? Sold!
\nThat is one expensive promo video, but it gets the job done.<\/p>\n

There is a distributor listed on their website in East London, South Africa, but unfortunately seems to be un-contactable.
\nNot to worry though, as they are<\/em> shipping to RSA.
\nThis particular iPad case, the grand daddy of them all, comes in at $89.95, and a choice of Black or Yellow. Shipping international will add on an extra $35.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nSo, If you are<\/em> in the industry where you might drop your iPad from the 6th floor, or possible out of your hands while Skydiving, then this is<\/em> the case for you. And when it comes in at under R1100, it’s actually not that bad at all!<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for more updates from the G-form team.<\/p>\n
