iPad Case review by: Erin Sheldon
"This is a table where I compare protective iPad cases we have trialed Maggie is hard on her iPad's, so its rare for a case to be Maggie-Proof. We have trialed many cases and the most Maggie-proof is the LifeProof. I also really like the M-Edge SuperShell but Maggie peels it off now (even though its clearly her favorite case)."
This is my attempt at putting all of the information that I come accross for using the iPad/iTouch, with children with Angelman Syndrome, into one place, that I can then easily refer someone to. It is my hope that it is helpful for others!
This is all under construction right now!! Soon to be improved, if you have any ideas to add, let me know!

Accessories for iPad:
RJ Cooper's iPad Gadgets. RJ Cooper has designed some fabulous products with users with disabilities in mind! The carrying case is an example of the thought he has put into it, it covers the "home" button, for the users who are always pushing it and exiting out of programs, over and over! I know my nephew loves that button! ;-)
This also covers that "home" button problem, and is said to be indestructible! The Otterbox iPad Defender Series Case.
