For those planning to take their iPads out in the field, Ballistic has a new case that will help protect the pricey device from getting damaged. The Tough Jacket for iPad 2 has three layers of material that resist impact and absorb shock. One layer features an inner silicone to absorb shock, the second is impact-resistant hard plastic, and the third is shock absorbent polymer. “Ballistic corners” protect the sides from drops and prevent the screen from making actual contact with a surface. The removable cover protects the screen but can also be used as a kickstand to prop up the iPad. Available in black or red, the case has a list price of $69.99.
