Does this case protect the Ipad from scratches and falls I shall I get something else?

It does protect. A defender case would protect better for a child or circumstances like that. This one is elegant and light but sill protects the iPad.

Yes to scratches on the back and sides, as well as the screen, if the cover is closed (I would also recommend a screen protector - I have the ZAGG InvisibleSHIELD). Good for small falls (1-3ft), but if you're looking for something that can withstand regular falls or ones that may occur in outdoor environments regularly, I'd recommend the LifeProof case.

Scratches yes, as it covers the back. I don't think it will provide great protection on falls, as it's pretty thin.

Believe it or not (for I can be a clumsy person) I have yet to drop my iPad mini. With that said, I know the leather back protects the back of the ipad from scratches and damage (from table-height I'm guessing) and as long as the cover is flipped closed over the front then the glass is also protected. However, I'm not willing to bet on the magnetic cover to stay closed under all circumstances, so if you're more worried about dropping it often I would suggest something else.

I have both and it works fine. I do recommend putting a couple layers of paper towels, some sort of cloth or thin cardboard between the iPad and the case. The round, gray plastic disc is exposed on the inside of the case and there is potential for the movement to scratch your iPad. Enjoy!

I didn't. I am sure though it's not to protect from a fall on a hard surface (though I've seen iPhones survive on their own).I bought this case to protect from scratches, dirt and wear of being carried in a bag, in a pocket with keys, left in a car compartment or car floor and things like that.Rugged cases are bulky, look somewhat silly and give a protection for something that is quite unlikely to happen, in my opinion.

No it will protect I dropped my phone plenty of times with this case and it never broke or cracked.

It has good scratch protection and some drop protection. The outer edge is a soft material that does give drop protection. My Wife loves it because it looks good and is not bulky.

No. You must buy the clear plastic shield, however, the case has kept my ipad well protected and I have dropped it a couple of times with no damage to my ipad.

No it does not. The rim of the case does protrude out above the screen so if you drop it the screen will not hit the floor. But the case will not protect from any scratches.

It is just scratch and mar protection. I haven't dropped my phone but this case will give medium protection from a 3 or 4 ft drop.

It only protect the back and sides of the iPad, but the rubberized corners helps to protect the front if dropped. It does not come with a screen protector. It's very sturdy and I am pleased with it overall.

It seems protective enough to me. The edges don't stick out but if you were to have just the right drop you could potentially damage the ipad. Over all I find this to be very secure.

Absolutely. In fact the other day I dropped my iPad twice and it landed on the floor and nothing happened. This cover from Speck is great. Love it!! It sure protects your tablet.

Unless you buy a hard cover like aluminum, I doubt anything will completely protect you iPad. So far my experience is that this cover does give great protection and versatility under normal use.

Yes, it has a thin layer of padding to protect from minor bumps. In fact, that's the reason why I purchased this case. I like it very much for this reason. It's a little larger than the iPad Air, but I'm ok with that. Hope this helps!

No, as long as you buy a screen protector you should be fine. Even with the screen protector I see no scratches, there's a little cushion between the iPad and the keyboard when you close it. Hope this helps!

I believe it would protect it from minor scratches and bumps, but it would not protect it well enough from a major drop or fall.

Yea i bought a screen protector with the case. I think it will protect it if your phone falls on one of the sides or even face down because the case does come up over the edges but the screen is fully exposed. So if something were to fall on it or it fall on a corner, it would probably do some damage.

I believe it does, I love the case. My kids drop the iPad all the time.. This case keeps it from breaking from the falls.
