Does this have any padding? How would a tablet be affected by a drop?

It is very well made , and seems to me very sturdy and safe for a tablet, but it isn't padded.

should be ok depending on how far the drop is and if it has a tablet protector

It should. We've never dropped it; but if it's closed and latched, it does have sufficient insulation - of course height and surface conditions will affect that. For typing, it's fine - keyboard or touch screen. The kids have knocked it off the slot, but that's only happened while they were playing certain games and tapping aggresively on the screen. We've also had no problem while using it on our laps.

Very minimal. This case is great for keeping my tablet, keyboard and keyboard charger together. That's really all I need it for. But, I don't think that the padding or protection is great.

It is a soft case and padded but I don't believe it would protect your laptop if you dropped it from more than a few feet onto a hard surface.

The padding is thin foam, not like the hard case you might snap a smartphone into. So if you dropped the case & laptop onto a table I don't think there would be any harm done. But if you had it on a shelf and knocked it down to a hard floor it might not be enough protection. The padding is good for the ordinary bumps and knocking into things you might experience while commuting or moving through a crowded place with the bag slung over your shoulder. But I don't think it would be adequate protection for a significant fall from a high shelf.

It has a floppy silicone cover that goes over a hard cover. The hard cover is only for the front part of tablet though. The hard cover doesn't encase the whole tablet. The silicone cover is so thick thought that I feel like it has enough protection and that it's completely encased.

It appears to be well padded and the laptop is secure. Because it is a lighter bag, you are probably less likely to drop it; I've dropped others in the past because they were heavy. I haven't dropped this one yet so I don't know for sure.

It has a sticky pad that holds your tablet securely. Just stick it on and go! Easy!

Yes, it provides some protection as soon as the screen isn't hit directly while it falls. Anyway, a three feet drop is high... For that maybe another type of case, a thicker one, could be more useful. My nephew of 5 years uses the tablet with the case, and he is very careful, he sits down and is not walking around with it, that can help too.

I can't say there's exactly padding around the corners. The overall padding lining the case goes right up to the zipper. I would agree with Jamie that the padding is minimal at the edges. But, my tablet and keyboard seem to be well protected, and I've been very happy with the case. I've not noticed any bumps or problems with either the keyboard or the iPad since using the case.

Oh and the elastic bands do not secure the Tablet at all, it keeps falling out, so...for the price I only use this case to protect my Surface from dust when I'm not using the tablet.Hope this helps.

No it isn't padded, it provides minimal protection to the screen of the iPad .

Not really. It is more like a book cover, it doesn't actually close . I like it a lot because its weight is negligible yet it protects the tablet. I highly recommend it.

Yes, it has a thin layer of padding to protect from minor bumps. In fact, that's the reason why I purchased this case. I like it very much for this reason. It's a little larger than the iPad Air, but I'm ok with that. Hope this helps!

It does to a point. Because its a rubber material but there is nothing over the screen to protect it. If you drop it face down it will not be protected at all.

There is nothing to hold the top edge of a tablet locked into place. The tablet wobbles when poked as would happen when playing a game or typing. Possibly this would be not be significant with light touch.

I have never had it fall down in any of the positions. One thing to think about is that adding to the fact that its a very slim case there isn't extra "flappage", not sure how else to put it, on the case. You have to pop the bottom of the tablet out of the holder and tilt it that way. This is one think that I don't like, but overall I really like the case.
