Hey guys, looks like we're not getting hard cases. So I just went to BestBuy and found one on sale for 59.99. Pretty good deal I think to protect the ipad. Also offered to pay for the iPad but the company still wants to provide it at no cost to the pilots. Oh well. Would have been nice to not have to worry about paying 600 dollars incase I broke it. But I guess that's why I bought the case.
