It seems to be increasing difficult to perform any job without the use of some screen or another, but not all environments are suitable for a delicate device. The i1065 case from Peli lets you safely transport and use your iPad in the toughest of environments.

Featuring all the old Peli favourites there is the Rubber ‘O-ring’ seal to ensure the case is water tight, it also has an automatic pressure equalisation valve to help the case open smoothly and quickly every time by preventing a vacuum forming and it also helps to keep out dust and dirt. The Peli i1065 fits most 10inch tablets, including iPad 1, iPad 2, iPad 3, iPad 4, iPad Air, iPad with Retina Display and iPad with Smart Cover, with internal dimensions of 253mm (L) x 197mm (W) x 41mm (D) and exterior dimensions of 276mm (L) x 236mm (W) x 31mm (D).

As well as being fully waterproof this case is also crush and dust proof. The case itself is scratch-resistant to help it look more attractive for longer, but regular exposure to tough environments will leave its mark on the case. There is a moulded plush shock-absorbing Liner included in the case that does what it says and protects the device from impacts whilst preventing the case from scratching the tablet. This liner can also be used as an easel for hands free viewing of pictures, documents or films at multiple different angels. The i1065 has an Easy-Open latch which - unsurprisingly with a name like that - is very easy to open, but it can also remain tightly closed in the event of impact or when put under pressure.

There are some silicone feet on one side to protect less rugged work tops but there is no handle, which would have been a very welcome addition. However, the i1065 is a tough case and whilst not being the most attractive it is compact and protective. RRP £56.58
