Don’t worry about vapour going in because this case is tried and tested. Even if an accident were to occur, being enclosed in the Overboard case means that your iPad will just continue floating above water while waiting for you to retrieve it back. However, nothing of the sort will occur if you keep your hands firmly in the hand loop that is fastened to the back of the case.

It also comes with a detachable long strap that you can attach on and off for easy transporting around. Keep out water, dust, dirt and any other foreign objects you wouldn’t want to even touch your iPad with this environmentally friendly Overboard iPad Case.
