iPad Defender Series Case from Otterbox Back in September we compiled a list of 15 tough iPhone and iPad cases and this one from Otterbox was one of our favourites. It's the ideal gift for those who care more about keeping their gadgets safe than anything else. The Otterbox brand is famous for its tough reputation, and the range has layer upon layer of hardcore protection against falls and water and it doesn't look half bad too. If you don't think the hot pink trimming will go down too well, try another colour combination instead as there's pink/white, white/black and white/blue. Available from Otterbox for $67.96 for both the iPad 1 and 2.
