Is the book cover case sturdy and durable enough of a case for my five year old or should i get another case for backup?

The front is soft and protects the screen. The back hard and sturdy. Not likely to protect if dropped but fits perfectly and will help protect tablet from scratches when placed in a bag and much easier to hold while using. Hope this helps.

Yes my daughter loves it, its durable and she is 11, and cracks all her electronics, but this is holding up nicely and has a strong hold on her tablet.

No, I would buy him one that is thicker with more protection. It might survive a drop depending what it hit, carpet, a surface with give. But I would buy my child something different.

It is quite sturdy. I bought this one to replace the original hard one we got from the music store. My son has ADD and things to not last that long in our house. But 3 years later this case is still holding up well.

It is absolutely worth it AND it will hold up brilliantly to a 4 year old! I have three girls, ages 7,4,1, and they have dropped my Kindle Fire in its Gumdrop case and it has never flinched. My brother-in-law is an electrician and he uses an iPad on the job site that uses a Gumdrop case. His iPad has been kept super safe for over a year now. I figure if it's tough enough for a construction job site, it will have no problem with a 4 year old :). Hope this helps!

Not sure if you are asking in a good way or bad. The one thing I was super impressed with was it was really sturdy, well built, solid. It seems to be very good quality and we love it. It is definitely not to heavy for our 5 year old.

It seems pretty sturdy. We haven't had any problems with it at all. The longer we have had it, the better I like it. We have had stacks of books ad a laptop on it and have not had any problems.

I was considering buying a Kindle case since it has the closest measurements, but never got the chance and it didn't last more than a month :( I bought it formy 5 and 3 year old and they were just great with it but one time they left it on the bed and it just stepped on or sat on and that was the end of it. The screen cracked easily. So, it worked great until I wasn'tsupervising them. So I recommend you get a good strong case and supervise them. The same has happend before with grandpa's kindle but no cracks or anything because the screen is much thicker and stronger. So.... heads up! ;)

It is designed to be the most protective PROFESSIONAL case. If there were iPads and cases when I was a six-year-old boy, my Mom would've bought me a LifeProof or Otter Box case for sure. If your boy will be using it frequently, get one of those. But if it is your iPad and he'll occasionally be handling it, then yes, it should be adequate. No spillage protection, but full corner protection. Note, though, that it is not designed to cushion impacts, but only be a layer in between the device and the ground.

We have a very low-end case for the camera. After all, it's shock-resistant :) It has survived whatever a 12 year-old girl can throw at it after two weeks at the shore and multiple family trips and still takes very nice photos.

My granddaughter is very rough on her kindle. She has destroyed her case in about 6 months[ she is 9 ] and I am getting her another one for Christmas. I think she would have also managed to destroy an expensive one!!! Bottom line; they wear out but last as long as expected for the price . I like mine.

We use it for school closely supervised. I would not give a computer to a 5-7 year old but if you did, this would be the one so that when they brake it, it was not expensive. Consider what you want them to do with it (Please not surf the net) and maybe consider a Kindle fire or Samsung Tab or the like and then absolutely buy an Otterbox to protect it. We have all the above and we home school, 4 kids 2-10 use them but only supervised.

There's certainly nothing sharp or dangerous in the case itself, if that's a concern. The case is quite sturdy and the stand set up is very easy to use, so a child should have no problem with it. A friend confirms that her 6-year-old granddaughter would have no trouble using a case like this.

It is durable. My son is almost 4 and he has had this bed when we travel for about two years. It is a fairly thin but soft sleeping bag with an air mattress inside.

I think it would be perfect for a 5 year old. It's about the size of a hand bag.

It is sturdy. Maybe a thick medium book, the size of an ipad, and a thinner one. It is somewhat padded on the inside. So it doesn't fit much. I use it to store my ipad 4 with protector and my son's samsung tab 3 on the inner pocket and they both fit perfectly with very little room to spare. Hope this helps!

Yes, I would say so as I have had no problems with my kids (I have a daughter who puts everything in her mouth!) - this is a very tough case with a hard shell underneath the rubber outer cover - she could possibly bite off the little rubber covers that flip open so you can charge or utilise headphones etc :)
