The best iPad cases for kids of 2025: Protect your kids' tablets

If protection is the name of the game, the OtterBox Made for Kids iPad case is a perfect choice for most ages. It’s thick enough to protect against the antics of young kids and sleek enough not to look too childish for older kids. 

This iPad case is available for the iPad Mini 6th Gen and iPad 10th Gen, two popular iPad options for kids. The case makes the iPad easy to grab by the body but also features a handle that doubles as a stand. It’s easy to clean and can even go on the top rack of your dishwasher, though it is built to withstand constant cleaning with sanitizing wipes. 

“The Otterbox is high quality and sturdy for lots of protection. The carrying arm works perfect as a stand in any direction. While this case is more expensive than many others out there, I feel like it’s an excellent choice to not only protect the iPad, but it will last a long time,” one buyer commented.

This is one of the most affordable cases for an iPad, though its $14 price is only available for older base-model iPads, including the 9th, 8th, and 7th generations. The is still available for sale and is a sought-after option for a kid’s iPad, thanks to its low price during sales events.

The Suplik Kids Case for iPad may be budget-friendly, but users still rate it high. Its shock-proof foam construction offers all-around protection for the iPad, including a built-in screen protector, and it’s available in nine colors. 

Verified buyers concur, with one saying, “This iPad cover is perfect! It’s not big and bulky like other covers are. This one has the right amount of protection on it. Especially with a baby and toddler dropping it on the floor multiple times. It is sturdy and of good material and quality.”

If you’ve decided to get your kid a 12.9-inch iPad Pro from 2018 through 2022, then you’d do well to protect your device with a good case. The Bam Bino Space Suit cloaks the 4th-, 5th-, and 6th-generation iPad Pro with shock-proof non-toxic foam. It includes a screen guard, shoulder strap, and even a pencil holder charger.

While the Bam Bino Space Suitcase is great for older kids, I wouldn’t recommend it for toddlers or kids who aren’t careful with their iPads. This case is protective, but it’s not as thick as other options on this list, so while it can withstand falls, it’s best suited for kids who have developed a sense of responsibility for their iPad.

“I had previously bought a different case for my very expensive iPad Pro and when it came, it was junky and I didn’t feel like it’d keep my iPad safe if it hit the ground and I found this case,” one buyer reviewed. “It has a great handle and a long strap that’s detachable. It’s super cushiony and the holes are in all the right places for my particular iPad, such as volume, etc… I totally feel like it’d do the job if I dropped it.”

If you need an iPad case that’ll grow with your kids, the Braecn Case is a great choice. It’s adorable yet durable, with handles on each side, a kickstand on the back, a 360-degree rotating hand strap, and even a pencil holder. This case features reinforced corners to protect your kids’ iPads against falls and bumps. 

While this can also be a great case for younger kids, it’s also available in 18 different themes and colors suitable for older kids, too.

This case is also among the highest-rated available, with one reviewer saying “It’s been 2.5 years and this case is still great. My daughter uses her tablet daily for educational games, TV shows, coloring, photo taking, etc., and this case has held up through vacations, outside use, everyday use, and more. The stand works as good as it always has.”

This Typecase Folio keyboard case is built for the 2022 10th-generation iPad and is perfect for older kids who use it for schoolwork. When looking for keyboard cases, the folio types with soft support are better than rigid cases, which aren’t shock-proof and can crack the tablet’s screen. 

A folio case like this Typecase is perfect to go from entertainment to light work without paying top dollar. 

Buyers agree, with one remarking, “I love that the keyboard lights up and then discovered that it lights up with different colors. I can change with the season or my mood. The keyboard is magnetic, so you can move it out of the way to just have the iPad lay flat, or the different notches let you adjust the tilt of the screen while you type.”
