Key Features
-
Tough enough for any grade level
Its sturdy design and construction is built to take on daily wear and tear inside K-12 classrooms. The outer fabric of the case is sourced from the luggage industry and is chosen for its exceptional resistance to damage including spill-resistance. And to ensure the highest level of protection and durability, the product is put through tests including scratch, drop, spill and vibration.
-
Protects from drops up to 4 ft
Rugged Combo 2 passes MIL STANDARD 810-G drop tests and withstands falls as high as 4 feet. So no matter the curriculum — a field trip, a classroom presentation or a lab session — iPad is protected from drops and mishaps.
-
Pry- and spill-resistant keyboard
A durable membrane seals in the keyboard, protecting it from prying fingers, spilled drinks, and other classroom mishaps. If an accident does occur, crumbs and liquids can be safely wiped clean with no fear of damage. The Rugged Combo keyboard is tested to protect against liquid spills up to 60 ml.
-
The ultimate keys to the classroom
A classroom full of keyboards typing can get loud - and that can be distracting for students. So we designed the keys to type completely silent. We also added a row of short-cut keys for easy access to Volume, Media Controls, Print Screen and other useful iPad functions.
-
The perfect angle for any app or assignment
The kick-back stand moves freely within a 40-degree tilt — making it flexible to move from upright at 60 degrees to laid back at 20 degrees or fully flat. Sturdy mechanical hinges ensure the angle stays firmly in place and does not collapse even with strong tapping.
-
Four modes to tackle any task
Rugged Combo 2 is flexible enough for any class or assignment.
Typing Mode - Helpful for typing notes, essays, and tests.
Viewing Mode - Perfect for studying, videos, and games.
Notebook Mode - Easily write, draw, or take photos.
Travel Mode - Protects screen during transportation. -
One click to connect and charge
The keyboard magnetically clicks in and connects instantly - no complex Bluetooth pairing required. The keyboard sources power directly from iPad so you never have to charge. Plus, the physical connection is the only transfer point for data from keyboard to iPad, making it a secure solution for student testing and exams.
-
Extra large asset-tagging window
The updated transparent window on the back of the case provides convenient space for asset tagging, yet stays hidden during use.
-
The perfect combo
Designed to work with Logitech Crayon and Apple Pencil. Just detach the keyboard and instantly start hand-writing notes, illustrating projects or marking up documents directly on iPad. Plus, Rugged Combo 2 has a built-in holder to store your Logitech Crayon or Apple Pencil so it’s always there when you need it.
