A built-in screen protector seals your Multi-Touch display from the outside environment, while hinged plugs seal the dock connector, camera lens, headphone port, hold switch and volume controls. The included stand clips on, then folds open for landscape viewing and typing.Survivor is independently tested and verified to meet or exceed environmental testing standards for blown rain, blown dust and grit, vibration, shock, temperature and humidity.

UPDATE 3/1/14
Griffin replied quickly and the refund process was painless. I sent in a few pics and they sent me my new case. I gotta say I'm blown away at the difference between my old case and the replacement. This new case is MUCH more sturdy. Much higher quality. The screen cover is so clear you cant even tell it's on there. It is a much better fit for my iPad. Either the first case I ordered wasn't a Griffin case or they majorly stepped up their game. Either way I am thrilled. My only concern is whether or not this case can stand up to the test of time. If, in other words, it will always be this good or if it just seems good because it isn't brand new.

For the iPad I've had an Orla Kiely case and the JTech. Surprisingly the Kiely was more robust but the cover material itself was peeling after just a month or so and the case corners broke after a small drop. The case was also nearly impossible to use for having the iPad stood upright eg when watching something or writing.
The JTech was a joke and I can't fathom it's good reviews; the case uses these stick on pads so that you can adjust the angle of the iPad. But of course these peeled off after just a day so it was then no longer possible to keep the iPad upright without just leaning it against something. To top of off, after a few weeks the iPad was dropped by my child from a height of 15-20cm onto a soft rug and the case corner broke off completely rendering the case useless! At least on the Kiely when the corners broke off the case still held the iPad in and could be used. On the JTech, once the corner was on the case didn't hold the iPad at all.
So I turned to the Griffin based on my positive experience with the iPhone case. I needed something that would fulfil just two functions;
-protect the iPad absolutely in case of being dropped
-allow us to have the iPad at a useful angle for watching/Skype without having to lean it against other objects
The Griffin is perfect for both these things. The iPad has even been thrown and hasn't the case is unscathed and off course it's been fine. It's even been accidentally stood on by an adult and nothing's happened. It's been dropped, had sand and water spilt on it and nothing. It also makes the iPad lovely and easy to hold; it's a non slip rubbery case. It feels robust and the little stand to keep the iPad at an angle is perfect.
Can't recommend this highly enough especially for anyone with young children!
However, my reason for not awarding 5 stars is that it has several design issues that would ideally be resolved in a future version. Firstly, the camera and speaker are protected by moveable 'plugs' that can be pulled out and hinged out of the way. However, the 'hinge' is simply part of the plug pushed through a hole in the plastic case. The first time I used the camera, this hinge came out and I had to disassemble the whole case to plug it back in, which is not a quick job. Once you know this, however, it all works fairly well. Also, the small rubber feet on the ends of the 2 legs of the stand are not firmly attached and can come off. A little glue has solved this. The only other niggle is that you have to have the iPad's screen and the screen protector scrupulously clean before assembly. Otherwise, you get bits trapped between the 2 and you can get a rainbow bloom over the whole screen.
These issues aside, this is a very high quality protective case with which I am perfectly happy. It is certainly highly protective and I can easily live with the other problems. I would certainly recommend the case if you are looking to use your iPad outside in conditions similar to a wet rugby pitch in winter!
The case fits perfectly and the screen protector is great too. It has not affected the responsiveness of the touch screen at all which I had read in reviews that this was what people were not happy with. I guess Griffin have updated it in this version of the case.
The little flaps for the charging port and the speakers at the back are fine and the volume controls work perfectly through the case. I have also used the fold out stand on the back for watching videos and films and it does the job nicely.
This Griffin case is absolutely brilliant ! Fits well and has a nice solid feel to it. It can be dropped from a height of 6 feet so I should imagine it would be great for those with kids. My husband is a bushcraft, survival skills, instructor so needs a water tight cover for his iPad and this cover fits the bill . The camera lens is covered so won't get scratched and all the ports are covered too so he won't be worried about the wet and damp doing any damage. It's an extremely sturdy case.
POSITIVES - They've thrown the ipad across the room many times and its been subjected to multiple spills too. The Griffin GB35108 Survivor case has ensured longevity of life for our ipad, cushioning it against so.e devastatingly serious knocks (once down the stairs too).
NEGATIVES - The plastic like film on the screen is a fingerprint magnet and stains appear to leave a permanant type of residue behind after wiping them away (only noticeable upon close scrutiny). Also the port covers for the headphone jack, camera and switch covers are flexible but flimsy. My children have managed to rip them off and lose them (the camera cover and the head phone cover).
OVERALL - Tough and sturdy - does the job - 4.5/5
