Product Description

We have made several improvements to our original versions. The compartment for the device is more fitting. The front side is transparent. There are no more seams between the transparent window and the border in the front. This makes the case even more durable, yet provides more flexibility and area of interaction. The WaterGuard Waterproof Case guards against any wet environment that iPad might be exposed to. It is a perfect companion when when you use your iPad at the beach, near the pool side, in the bathtub or at the kitchen table. It provides great protection when you get stuck in a rainstorm or accidentally drop you bag on a wet surface. When using the WaterGuard case, the iPad can be slipped directly into the WaterGuard pocket and the transparent surface provides easy interaction with the keyboard and navigation interface. NOTE: Limited Warranty: the contents of your case is NOT covered by our warranty and should be insured separately by you.

1.0 out of 5 stars Under built for daily use, May 8, 2010

This review is from: New Version TrendyDigital WaterGuard Waterproof Case, Waterproof Cover for Apple iPad, Blue Border (Electronics)

I received this case about a week after my ipad arrived.

The construction of this case I simply too light to hold up to daily use. It's falling apart at the seams in 3 places after 2 weeks of use!!

The fit was overly large for the ipad, which initially seemed like a good thing, as It allowed me to keep the apple iPad Case on the iPad (folded open), providing a fairly good degree of padding when picking up or putting down on hard surfaces.

I have no problems with the plastic material as far as touchscreen usability goes. It works perfectly, but the seams of the cover are thin heat crimps and have begun to fail (the case is literally separating at the seams) after nearly 0 exposure to the harsh elements that it's designed to protect against.

The double ziplock is useless if the ends of the seal don't hold up. Overall, the pouch opening and double ziplock seam is convenient but unattractive and bulky. You'll want to orient the iPad dock connector to the open side of the pouch so you can charge without removing the ipad, but when sealed and in use, you now have a floppy end on the bottom of the iPad.

Worse yet, the lanyard is oriented to the folding sealed end, making the ipad hang upside down if you use the lanyard. Not terribly useful, if you want to use it from any distance with the lanyard in use.

The "Trendy Digital" name now says it all, this product is cheap, underbuilt, poorly designed, and imho, not worthy or capable of protecting any electronic device for more than a week. Any sustained use will destroy the seams and integrity of the case.

This product appears to have been designed by bandwagon-jumpers, with little concern for its actual function.

In my opinion, you shouldn't waste your money, or risk any electronic device to this poorly designed and flimsily built case.

Unfortunately, a complete waste of money.

Don't use this product if your iPad has a screen Protector on it. The clear plastic stuck to my $30 Zagg Invisishield, and was unable to removed from Trendy case without detroying the invisishield.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Nice Case if you have kids for the iPad, May 10, 2010

I bought this so my child can use the ipad, mainly because of Spills and even scratches. The iPad fits inside and the plastic sort of clings to the ipad so there are no bubbles. It protects great, A kid could spill anything and it would never do any damage. It is quite responsive through the plastic cover, and well I would highly recommend it if you are using it with kids. I don't think it would be my main cover unless I worked in a wet environment. I therefore give it 4 out of 5.
