Recwntly i have been able to manage to upgrade my AAC device to a brand new ipad pro 11 inch! Intially i wasn super excited! I couldnt wait to get a new case and use my new device! Well that hit a few hurdles. It turns lutthere were very few quality drop proof cases and no water proof cases at all when i first got it. I wasnt too suprised at first given the 11 inch is a pretty new ipad, but givenwater proof cases are a muat formy basicbeeds asan AAC user this meant using my older ipad which had a water proof case as my main aac and only using the new device in home until i could get a water proof case. It has been several months and so far i have only found one water proof case for this ipad, no other companies seem to be making any water proof cases for the newer ipad models at all! Whas more my go to brand life proof which is known for their water proof cases does not appear to have any olans to make cases for the newer models!
I did end up getting that one casw and i was so so excited i was checking the mail every day, thinking it would be even better than life proof! Only to get the case and be massive,y disapointed as i can barely tyoe with the case on which is a major flaw, also the back peels off suoer easy, the screen protector messes up ohoto quality and it also messes up speaker sound a bit, italso feels a bit sharp on the edges. all of which are really disapointing cause i honestly want to love this case so much! Thiswas a case i hadbeen hoping for ll thise flaws! it has features like back mounting abilities i had longed for! i plan to contact the company and see what can be done! Because i believe they can do better!
Why has everyone stopped making waterproof cases? These cases are a life line for so many of us! We need good drop proof water proof cases!
The diffrence between havinga goodwater proof case and not having one is the diffrence between a 500 to thousand dollar piece of assitive tech not being ruined when caugh out in the rain, being able to keep your communication device by the pool or at the beach wkthput fear oreven inor nearthebath orshower! Itmatters because waterproofing at ipx67 to ipx68 isorivides more access to communication in all enviorments!
And this doesnt just benefit aac users and the disabled community it also benefits the general public too! People love to read tablets pool side or work on the beach or by the pool, and lets be honest anyone can get caught outin the rain so really water proof cases benefit litterally everyone! I used to believe waterproof cases should be the minimal standard for a case because of this even! We need more companies making them and swlling them! So wny arent they?
