A universal folio case for 9 to 11 inch tablets — one case that fits most of the iPads and Android tablets a school runs, rather than a model-specific shell you replace at every device refresh. What it does: Fits tablets from 9 to 11 inches Folio cover protecting the screen in a bag Folds back as a viewing stand Universal or model-specific? A universal folio survives a device upgrade and suits a mixed fleet. A moulded case like the Gumdrop range fits one generation exactly and gives better drop protection. For a shared trolley set that turns over every few years, universal usually wins. Class quantities available on a school purchase order.

A folio case with a detachable Bluetooth keyboard, for 9 to 11 inch tablets. Turns an iPad into something a student can write an essay on — which is the difference between a tablet used for consuming and one used for producing. What it does: Fits tablets from 9 to 11 inches Bluetooth keyboard built into the folio Folds back as a viewing stand when the keyboard isn't needed Protective cover for the screen in transit Where it earns its place: senior English and humanities, extended writing tasks, and any assessment where students type rather than handwrite. Also worth considering for students with handwriting difficulties. Class quantities available on a school purchase order.

A padded slip sleeve for 11 inch tablets — the simplest protection there is, and the one students will actually use because there's nothing to fasten or fold. What it does: Fits tablets up to 11 inches Padded slip-in construction Slim enough to go inside an existing school bag Sleeve or case? A sleeve protects in transit but comes off in use; a folio stays on. For a trolley set that lives in the classroom, a sleeve is often enough and costs less. For a take-home program, a folio protects the device while it's being used. Class quantities available on a school purchase order.
