This case is definitely my favorite case of all time and I have tried many.

I sent this to Gripcase today:True story, last week on of my students was working with another professional. They both had their iPads on the table. Hers was in a traditional, leather-like easel stand and my student's was in his Gripcase. The student became distressed and tossed the teachers iPad then he tossed his own. Both hit the floor but only one screen broke. Which one survived you ask? YUP the Gripcase iPad had NO damage!!! Good to know it really does protect our investment. Thanks Gripcase.

All address visual, spatial, color and shape matching skills. Whether your child needs to copy the answer from the guide provided or solve it on her own, much can be learned.

Be on the look out here for a followup post regarding Trucky3 as I am creating low tech visuals for this activity (to pre-teach parts) and a communication board to assist with the language while playing.
