Kensington, a worldwide leader in delivering smart. safe. simple. computing accessories, today announced its BlackBelt and SafeGrip rugged cases are now available for the iPad Air® 2, iPad mini 3, iPad mini 2, and iPad mini tablets.

And since schools often have limited budgets, preventing damage goes a long way toward protecting their investment while putting more of their resources into learning, and less on equipment repair or replacement.”
