Gumdrop

A clear rugged case for iPad, built around the part of a rollout that usually goes wrong — fitting 300 of them. The updated design installs in seconds with far less handling per unit, which is the difference between a deployment that takes an afternoon and one that takes a week. What it does: Clear back panel, so the iPad's own design shows through and asset tags stay readable Simplified installation built for large-scale rollouts DropTech protection for daily student handling Fits: iPad 11-inch (A16), iPad 10th generation and iPad 11th generation. Choose DropTech Clear if you're deploying at scale and want asset tags visible through the back. Choose the Hideaway if students need a built-in stand, or FoamTech if you want a carry handle for younger classes. Class quantities available on a school purchase order.

Listening-only headphones for classrooms that hand the same pair to a different student every period. The braided chew-proof cord and twistable headband target the two things that actually kill school headphones — chewed cables and snapped headbands — and every pair is drop tested 26 times from six feet. What's included: Over-ear headphones, no microphone Braided chew-proof cord, roughly 1.2m Twistable, break-resistant adjustable headband Wipe-clean earpads for shared and lab use Choice of 3.5mm or USB-C connector Best suited to: Listening stations and independent reading Computer labs and library terminals Device trolleys shared across year levels No microphone, so choose the DropTech headset instead if students need to record or speak. Gumdrop describes the audio as volume limiting within a 75–110dB range; for a firm cap for younger students, ask us about an 85dB-limited option. Class quantities available on a school purchase order.

School headsets built to survive shared use. Gumdrop drop-tests every pair 26 times from six feet under its TechShell standard, which is the closest thing this category has to a published durability benchmark — useful when you're the one signing off on replacements every term. What's included: Over-ear headset with flexible boom microphone Braided chew-proof cord, roughly 1.2m Twistable, break-resistant adjustable headband Wipe-clean earpads suited to shared and lab use Choice of 3.5mm or USB-C connector Where they earn their keep: Online testing and assessment sessions Oral language tasks, recording and video calls Trolleys and shared device fleets that see several classes a day Plug and play, with no software to install. Gumdrop describes the audio as volume limiting within a 75–110dB range; if you need a firm cap for younger students, ask us about an 85dB-limited option instead. Class quantities available on a school purchase order.

A lightweight foam iPad case made for primary classrooms, with a handle a child can actually hold. The handle folds flat to prop the iPad up for viewing or angle it for typing, so one case covers carrying, watching and working. What it does: Fold-out handle doubling as a viewing and typing stand Window cut-out in the back for asset tagging Full access to ports, buttons, camera and speakers Third-party TechShell certification for drops up to four feet Choose your iPad: 11-inch — iPad 10th and 11th generation 10.2-inch — earlier iPad generations The lightest of the three Gumdrop iPad cases and the easiest for small hands. Class quantities available on a school purchase order.

A rugged iPad case with a kickstand that disappears when it isn't needed. The magnetised stand folds flat into the silicone back and clips out with one movement, so there's no loose flap to snap off in a school bag — the usual failure point on a stand case. What it does: Built-in hide-away kickstand, magnetised and shockproof Protective screen cover against liquids, dust and dirt Rubberised bumpers with reinforced corners for shock absorption Drop tested to four feet, exceeding military drop-test standards Fits: iPad 10th and 11th generation. Choose the Hideaway if students need to stand the iPad up for reading or video without a separate stand. Class quantities available on a school purchase order.

A slim two-piece case for Dell Pro laptops — light enough that students will actually keep it on, and cheap enough to fit a whole year level. Rubberised bumpers surround the screen to cushion the knocks that crack a lid. What it does: Two-piece full-coverage construction Rubberised bumpers around the screen for drop protection Transparent top and bottom panels for asset tagging Quick install, designed for IT teams deploying at scale Choose your model: Dell Pro 13 Plus (Clamshell) Dell Pro 13 Plus (2-in-1) Dell Pro 14 Dell Pro 14 Plus (Clamshell) Check the exact Dell model and whether it's a clamshell or 2-in-1 before ordering — the cases are moulded to fit and won't cross over. Class quantities available on a school purchase order.

An adhesive stylus loop that sticks to a Gumdrop rugged case, so the stylus travels with the device instead of ending up in a drawer. Cheap enough to fit every case in a class set, and it removes the most common reason a stylus goes missing. What's included: Adhesive-backed pen holder Elastic loop sized for a standard device stylus Sticks to Gumdrop rugged cases. Worth adding to any iPad rollout where students are issued a stylus — replacing lost styluses costs far more over a year than fitting these once. Class quantities available on a school purchase order.
