Not all device cases offer the same level of protection, especially when it comes to equipping a business, school or job site. Whether you're safeguarding student iPads, corporate laptops or phones used in demanding field environments, selecting the right case is essential for ensuring durability, functionality, and long-term performance.
At RyJo Direct, we support organisations across Australia in sourcing the most suitable protective solutions for their specific needs. Below is a professional and trusted guide to help you choose the ideal case based on your environment and usage requirements.
1. Understand Your Environment First
Your case needs to match how and where the device will be used. Start by asking:
- Is this for everyday office use, classroom handling, or tough environments like construction sites?
- Will devices be transported daily or stay in one place?
- Do users need easy access, rugged protection, or both?
Different industries demand different levels of protection.
2. For Schools: Durable, Lightweight, Easy to Clean
In school settings, especially with younger students, device cases need to be:
- Shockproof: Drop-tested for classroom wear and tear
- Lightweight: Easy for students to carry
- Wipeable And Germ Resistant: Ideal for hygiene and shared devices
- Colour-coded: For classroom management and easy identification
Recommendation: Choose cases with reinforced corners and kickstands for added function.
3. For Corporate Teams: Sleek, Functional, and Branded
In professional settings, appearance and productivity matter:
- Slim but protective: Maintain a polished look without bulk
- Stand or folio styles: Great for meetings and desk setups
- Custom branding: Add your logo for a clean, professional finish. This is also a great way to promote your company.
- Built-in keyboard support (optional): Boost productivity for laptop/iPad users
Ideal for remote teams, onboarding kits, and internal tech upgrades.
4. For Construction Sites: Rugged, Reinforced, Ready for Anything
Devices on work sites face rough handling and harsh conditions. Look for:
- Heavy duty materials like TPU, silicone, or layered hard shells
- Full enclosure protection: Dust and drop resistant
- Port covers: Keep out debris and moisture
- Built in screen protectors: Prevent scratches on dirty job sites
- Lanyard compatibility: For carrying around neck or belt
Construction-friendly cases should prioritise toughness over aesthetics.
