Almost every tablet on the market today, including iPads, do not have an official IP waterproof rating. Nor do they claim to be waterproof or water resistant. That is why having a case that is IP68 certified is imperative for businesses to protect their devices from water and dust.

The other thing to consider is quantity. Larger, bulk orders are often more cost effective than smaller orders. We find that a lot of businesses and organisations using IP68 cases are rolling them out to many different users.


Typically, IP68 waterproof cases are a little more costly than their ‘non-IP’ rated counterpart. This is because the manufacturers have to pay for the IP certification.


However, we would always recommend that a business chooses IP68 cases—although they may be slightly more expensive, they are worth it for the extra protection they provide to your device.
