I presented in the first entry about protections for iPad onboard the water-resistant case by Andres Industries (*). This manufacturer reacted very quickly to the comments and criticisms made about its product. He was kind enough to send me to test their new case, modified and improved. A real happiness !
He becomes slightly overweight (212 x 268 x 26 mm) but lose 130 gr (500 gr). It is now intended to receive iPad models 1 and 2. The rear hull is equipped with four non-slip pads which prevent the iPad from sliding on a flat surface during boat movements., in response to criticism of the slippery appearance of the case. The rear seat was equipped with a reinforcement of four threaded inserts to now fix the RAM mounts offered by the manufacturer.
Indeed, RAM mounts are designed from a sphere which is positioned in different mounts (see photo below) and thus allow orientation at will.
Another accessory, not screwed this one, is a quick clip in which the case is firmly held, but which allows instant disassembly without tools.
There is a wide range of mounts that make this case particularly interesting. It remains to be seen how the competition will react.. About LifeProof, we risk waiting several months before the marketing of their iPad case, the one for iPhone 4 still not available.
Hope a wide distribution will allow Andres to lower its prices, because they unfortunately remain quite high.

Mr Fustier, hello and many thanks.
Since you are in direct contact with this manufacturer, perhaps he could add (for a ridiculous price to manufacture) a small cap or visor allowing the screen to be read in direct sunlight?
Merci
Bonjour,
A quick question, you present us with wonderful protection for Ipad. What about Mac protection?. Is there protection against splashing water allowing use on small boats and therefore always prey to a wave more daring than the previous one? ?
I searched a little and found nothing.
Thank you for your blog.
Kind regards
Olivier
You found nothing and for good reason ! Apart from silicone protections for keyboards, there is nothing for MacBooks. Reason why some users choose a Mac Mini for the ease of storing it in a cabinet protected from attacks.
