“The Permalock XP cases from InfoCase have performed excellently in protecting our student devices. These cases were installed on devices for the grade level that consistently has the most broken devices and reduced damages significantly. The added protection from the Permalock XP helped to keep devices from breaking when dropped and when stored with the lid closed in a bookbag.

Students are not able to remove the case which prevents the case itself from being lost or damaged and keeps the device protected at all times. These cases are easy to install, and the quality of the case stands out as they are both rugged and ergonomical.”
