The My Kid Pad is a tablet case designed specifically for children. As many parents can attest, everything an adult has, a child wants to play with. This can be dangerous, especially when you are trying to decide between letting your kid scream their brains out or giving them your beloved iPad.
Thankfully, choices like that are now easier to make. The My Kid Pad is designed specifically for children. It's bright and durable, two things that are a must when designing anything for children. The case features two handles for gaming, two legs for propping and an included stylus for use with a coloring book and drawing apps. The My Kid Pad was a Kickstarter project, but it failed to reach its funding requirement. Here's hoping the designers find a way to get their kid's case to the masses. Sticky fingers and an underdeveloped sense of judgement are the eternal enemies of technology.
