For the basics, the Griffin TechSafe Case has a [hardshell exterior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rokform-rugged-case) that will protect the tablet from any bumps and scratches. There are cutouts that allow for access to all buttons and there's a stand that offers the option of portrait of landscape viewing. The best part of the Griffin TechSafe Case, though, is the [security cable](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unsnatchable-phone-case) that comes with it. This attaches itself to the bottom of the tablet and it comes with its own combination-lock so that thieves won't have a chance of cracking it. The Griffin TechSafe Case is only compatible with the iPad 2. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Tablet Security:** Opportunity to develop more tablet cases with integrated security locks to protect against theft. - **Hardshell Protection:** Opportunity to create durable tablet cases with hardshell exteriors to prevent damage from bumps and scratches. - **Multi-functional Tablet Cases:** Opportunity to design tablet cases with features such as stand functionality for versatile viewing options. ### Where This Applies - **Tablet Accessories:** Opportunity for companies in the tablet accessories industry to develop and sell tablet cases with integrated security locks. - **Consumer Electronics:** Opportunity for consumer electronics companies to expand their product offerings by developing durable tablet cases with hardshell protection. - **Gadget Manufacturing:** Opportunity for companies in the gadget manufacturing industry to produce multi-functional tablet cases that offer versatile viewing options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Productive Laptop-Like Tablet Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/logitech-combo-touch.md) - [Dishwasher-Safe Tablet Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otterbox-trustywash.md) - [Security-Enhancing Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cirotta-case.md) - [Alarm-Equipped Laptop Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antitheft-laptop-device.md) - [Mountable Handsfree Tablet Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halo-for-ipad.md) - [Sleek Tablet Case Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ryze-360.md) - [Pocket-Sized Safety Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gaze.md) - [Anti-Theft Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unsnatchable-phone-case.md) - [Malleable Magnetic Tablet Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-keyboard-case.md)
