Know before you buy
No, the IntelliSkin Next Gen is precision-engineered specifically for the Apple iPad 10th Gen. It will not fit previous or subsequent iPad models due to differences in dimensions and port placement.
Yes. The case features an external USB-C port that allows you to charge your device using a standard USB-C cable, providing flexibility when you are away from your docking station.
The case features an integrated GDS connector that plugs directly into your iPad's port. This acts as a permanent interface, so you dock the case itself rather than plugging and unplugging a cable, which prevents wear and tear on the tablet's internal port.
Absolutely. It is built with a durable polycarbonate and silicone construction that provides military-grade drop protection, making it ideal for demanding environments where your device is at higher risk of impact.
The contacts are redesigned to minimize dirt accumulation, but it is good practice to occasionally wipe them with a soft, dry cloth to ensure a clean connection with your GDS dock.
While the case is robust and provides military-grade protection, it uses an insert-molded design to keep the profile as slim as possible. It is designed to balance heavy-duty protection with the usability required for daily professional tasks.
