To make sure your movies, music and apps are protected, Pelican Products, Inc., the global leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance protective case solutions, has introduced its next-generation, rugged Pelican ™ Vault cases for the Apple iPad Air® 2 (available mid/late April) and iPad mini® 1/2/3.

Crafted with the same tried-and-true DNA found in all Pelican™ products, the next-generation Vault case provides the ultimate suit of armor without sacrificing device functionality. The slim, lightweight Pelican ™ Vault is dustproof, water resistant, shock-absorbent and drop-tested to ensure that a mobile device can handle an active lifestyle. Made with high quality polycarbonate and an elastomeric copolymer rubber interior to expertly absorb impact, the case is designed to withstand a four-foot drop unscathed.

"You may well know the upset, frustration and cost of a smashed iPad. Our next-generation Pelican ™ Vault cases are built with the same legendary toughness that Pelican is known for. As a result we have engineered this case to help make sure that the only thing you need to worry about is finding your favorite app," said Lyndon Faulkner CEO of Pelican Products. "The advanced Vault case design also gives users the freedom to use the tablet within a case as it's meant to be, without sacrificing protection."
