Although the iPad boasts a battery so long-lasting that [extra battery packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highperformance-portable-battery) don't seem unnecessary, the SolidMicro PadPower iPad Case can still be useful during unforeseen circumstances. Made to stand out from the rest of the [iPad accessory crowd](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/esr-flip), this case provides [tough protection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airtag-timecapsule) while enabling the tablet to last 2.4 times longer.

There might not be a price set for the SolidMicro PadPower iPad Case yet, but Oh Gizmo predicts that it shouldn't be higher than $100.
