im on the look out for a new tablet for my sister as she has a habit of accidentally dropping hers and smashing the screen beyond repair so i was wondering if anyone can help me find a tablet that won't break if it is dropped from 5-10ft onto concrete

It is usually rhe screen that she breaks so im not sure how much these cases would help

They are shockproof, they rise above the edges of the screen so the only way she can break the screen is she drops it on some 'spiky' ground straight on the screen, although stairs should be fine.

She needs a case, or she needs to change her life habits.

You can try to find a GalaxyTab Active, but they're only rated for 4 foot drops.

 

Really, anything will break if dropped the wrong way. Unless you want to shell out money for a business grade tablet. Even then most are rated for 4 feet.
