LifeJacket accommodates all available iPad models, and utilizes stainless-steel hinge pins and non-corrosive materials to protect the tablet from all the elements including dirt, sand, germs and spills.
In addition to preserving the integrity of the iPad in all conditions, the airtight LifeJacket features a 3M glare-resistant screen that maintains crystal-clear screen viewing and the full functionality of the iPad’s touchscreen display.

Northport System’s service is consistent with the quality of the LifeJacket line – we are confident their extensive customer base will love the LifeJacket case.”
