Help me give my students an iPad they can't break! I have 3 older ipads that were given to me by a supportive person in our community, but they need protective cases.

My Students
I teach in a lower to middle class primary school. Our school serves students pre-k through 2nd grade. We do receive Title I finding. I teach Kindergarten. I have 16 students, they are Causcasian, African-American and Asian. All of my students enjoy learning. I am amazed at their little brains, just soaking up every word I say. I am blessed to be able to teach them to read. Kindergarten is the new first grade. I enjoy teaching reading! It's so hard, yet so rewarding! Watching the children learn letters in isolation, to letters to form a word, then on to read a sentence, book, then everything!
My Project
I am very fortunate to have been given 3 older generation Apple ipads by a supportive person in my community. However, they need good, kid-proof protective cases. Kindergarteners will drop them. They are 5 years old. I don't want to put the device in their hands to utilize, knowing it may break. The screen especially may break.
I am a mother, as well as a teacher.
The iPad my children used when they were small, had an Otterbox protective case which worked like a charm. The iPad stayed safe and dry despite drops, spills, and other mishaps. I would like to put this same case on the iPads in my classroom so they will be used and protected. The cases are quite pricey, however, they definitely defend the device, hence the name, Defeneder.
