A super-tough, flexible case promises to protect an iPad, but what happens when we drop a bowling ball on it?
We carry around some pretty expensive bits of technology these days and a lot of them can be rather flimsy. While laptops can be delicate, the Apple iPad is even more liable to break, crack or get dented. A new case promises 'extreme' protection, but how well did it cope with a bowling ball being dropped on it?
You wouldn't think dropping a bowling ball on an iPad would be great idea. The Extreme Sleeve case from G Form is designed to be a rugged and (as the name suggests) an 'extreme' way to protect a precious iPad. When we heard about it, there was only one thing we wanted to do; hurl a bowling ball at an iPad and see what happened.
So, what did happen? Watch the video to find out...

Was there really a Video?
Brilliant CA. Tried to watch this on my iPad but no joy, and you're trying to flog an iPad App so that I can read the magazine on my pad! Don't think so guys. Until you get around to using HTML 5 so we can all view videos count me out. Why is everyone so hung up on Flash anyway?
