I’m looking for recommendations for an extremely durable iPad case, but with a specific constraint that most “rugged case” threads don’t address well:

This is for a special education classroom, where there is a real possibility the iPad could be thrown during moments of dysregulation.

So I’m trying to balance three things:

-High impact durability (can survive repeated drops/throws)

-Safety (won’t injure someone if it hits them)

-Very challenging to remove

From what I’ve seen, a lot of “rugged” cases use hard plastic or rigid shells, which protect the device but could still cause injury if thrown.

What I’m ideally looking for:

Softer outer material (silicone/TPU or similar)

Rounded edges / no sharp corners

Thick enough to absorb impact (not just transfer force)

Good grip or straps are a bonus (to reduce throwing in the first place)

If you’ve used something in a school, therapy, or high-risk environment, I’d especially appreciate hearing what has actually held up over time.

Also open to solutions beyond just cases (mounting systems, straps, etc.) if they’ve worked in practice.

Thanks in advance—trying to find something that’s both durable and safe, which seems harder than it should be.
