Im shopping at the moment for a tablet which has IP68 case available for them. 
I absolutely need my tablet to have an IP68 case since i work outdoor if i want to use my tablet extensively away from my couch.

At the moment i stopped my eyes on

-Amazon fire X                
-Nvidia shield tablet
-ipad air
-Microsoft surface pro

Im really breaking my brain over this.

I absolutely need my tablet to have an IP68 case since i work outdoor.
The problem is great IP68 case like lifeproof fre are only available for apple and im absolutely not an apple user.
Maybe an ipad would be a great addition to have access to those app?

The Nvidia seems like a great bang for bucks machine

The microsoft surface pro looks like a overkill machine

Amazon fire, cheap good bang for bucks media entertainment

ipads by far have the best options for accessories. Ipads are good enough for just about everything that tablets can do. if you need a reliable ip68 case get an ipad. accessories on other things are not as good/readily available/exist. working at best buy we sell lots of different tablets, but we have a whole isle devoted to ipad accessories

Depends on what you want to use it for?  A Surface Pro is more of a tablet computer so it would have better performance than other tablets and with Windows 10.  An iPad is a good media device but obviously expensive but also has the most accessories, like probably thousands of accessories.  The other two I personally wouldn't look into much as Amazons tablets have their own OS I think and I don't really like that and the Nvidia tablet just seems odd.

I have an Xperia Z4 tablet, which is IP68, and I love it.

But if you want a good recommendation then you will need to give us some more details. Budget? What are you going to use it for? What do you have experience with so far? What do you think is important, other than being water resistant?

I would use my tablet for light media work, outdoor media entertainment, outdoor app support.

important feature other than IP68
Comprehensive bugfree OS
App support
Available accessory

I have experienced with apple iphone OS back with the iphone3, iphone4 have been on android ever since and windows.

As budget im not restricted, im split between going highend or low/mid since i want to ditch my laptop but isnt a necessity as of right now.
Im split between highend apple vs windows as the surface doesnt seem to have much outdoor accessory.

Ill look at the xperia Z4
