Geekscape Tech Review: DropTech Case + Hand Strap and Hideaway Case for iPad Pro 9.7

Even though we are out of the season where “visions of sugarplums are dancing in children’s heads”, I am going to cover something related to that with the Gumdrop Cases. Okay, that is about it for my clever introduction, so let’s get to covering the DropTech Case + HandStrap and the Hideaway Case.

I’ll start by saying the case for the iPad Pro 9.7 has what I would have to call “a Gumdrop case” look. It feels like a tire tread, but cleaner. Seriously, I don’t know how else to describe it, but I like its feeling of rubbery-ness.

Inserting in the iPad Pro 9.7 is pretty easy, as it has an inner frame that opens up and just lets it in. However, there is another great feature here with the Hand Strap.

I have reviewed products like the Hand Strap before, and the DropTech Case has a big hole for it. What you do is use the adhesive ring on the back of the iPad, and the Hand Strap locks into place. The Hand Strap is made so you can hold the iPad in one hand on the back without dropping it.

The Hand Strap has a way of being 360 degree flexible so you can even spin your favorite Apple tablet in the palm of your hand. It feels very ergonomic, and it is pretty great for straps with Velcro.

You should be able to purchase the DropTech Case with Hand Strap for the iPad Pro 9.7 on the Gumdrop Cases site for $89.95.

Now let’s talk about the Hideaway series (I guess I will call it that) is how the stand can extend for video content viewing. I don’t remember if the 12.9 inch version had this, but the stand can magnetically lock into the back of the Hideaway case.

So that is a unique feature, but one has to talk about what is similar. In the case of the Hideaway, it is the tire tread texture. Man, I am really hooked on making that description about Gumdrop cases.

Oh, it also has one of these Apple Pencil holders, and it is pretty easy to install the iPad into it. Oh, there is also some screen protection, and yet you can still access all the stuff from the touchscreen.

You should be able to purchase the Hideaway iPad Pro 9.7 Case on the Gumdrop Case site for $69.95.

Also, do you want to hear more about the latest in technology? In early January, there is a big event in Las Vegas known as CES (Consumer Electronics Show). I want to go and report on it, but I need some help. I have a new GoFundMe site that will “Send Mark (me) to CES 2017”. Please click here and make a donation.
