Ballistic's cases are great. Another advantage they have is that there's a 
bumper around the edge of the phone so that the screen isn't flush with the 
case. They're also super light not adding much if any real weight to the device.
I don't recall the name of the iPad Air version my wife was looking at, but I 
do know that she didn’t' care for Ballistic's offering as there was no 
protective flap for the tablet's screen. She instead opted for an oragami case 
with a flap. That's more a type of different strokes for different folks thing 
though.

Ballistic offers a case called the Tough Jacket for the iPad.  I would strongly 
encourage you to tactily evaluate the hard cases you are considering.  Since I 
bought my Ballistic Hard Core iPhone case for the iPhone 5, companies have 
begun designing cases to the rigorous specifications of the United States 
military.  These newer cases are more stronger and durable and exceedingly 
protective from what came before it.  They are more rugged and protective than 
other cases widely marketed. Realize these cases are not for the fashionable or 
will fit into skinny guy jeans at an urban nightclub.  yet, they protect the i 
device very well.  I would suggest reading the reviews of hard cases, visiting 
stores, or ordering a few online and returning the ones that you didn't choose 
as your hard iPad case.
