Aluminum Tablet Protectors

The Tank iPad Case is Shock Absorbing and Lightweight

— February 6, 2013 — Art & Design
The Tank iPad Case is fit for the mutant group known as the X-Men. If they existed in today's society, they would without a doubt be outfitted with the latest technology that would need to be protected with X-marked cases, which the Tank iPad Case obliges in. More than that, this case is lightweight enough to be toted around on life-saving missions while resilient enough to even act as a shield in case of unexpected enemy fire. Unless Magneto is involved. It is made out of aluminum, after all.

Designed by Andrea Ponti for Innopocket, the Tank iPad Case not only absorbs shocks, the raised X pattern also prevents scratches and reduces pressure. It also looks incredibly cool. And not to worry, an ultrathin polymeric membrane protects the tablet surface from the metal.
Trend Themes
1. Shock-proof Tablet Cases - Innovative shock-proof tablet cases that are lightweight and durable with unique designs like the Tank iPad Case by Andrea Ponti for Innopocket.
2. Scratch-resistant Tablet Cases - Tablet cases that feature raised patterns and protective membranes to prevent scratches on screens while adding unique design features.
3. Multi-functional Tablet Cases - Tablet cases that offer more functionality than just protection such as the Tank iPad Case which can act as a shield.
Industry Implications
1. Technology - Companies manufacturing shock-proof and scratch-resistant cases for tablets with unique designs and additional features to appeal to a wide range of customers.
2. Personal Protective Equipment - Manufacturers of personal protective equipment could explore making multi-functional cases like the Tank iPad Case which can act as a shield or have other protective features added.
3. Consumer Goods - Retailers could stock a variety of shock-proof, scratch-resistant, and multi-functional tablet cases for a range of tablet brands and models to appeal to diverse customer segments.
