PTPA Media has North America's largest volunteer parent tester community, with over 40,000 parents and has been rated the Most Trusted Seal by 22,000 parents. Since 2008, PTPA has evaluated thousands of products and services from leading manufacturers and emerging brands. Because independent parents evaluate these products in their own homes, PTPA winners are chosen based on merit and consumer experience – not on commercial considerations.

What parent testers had to say about LifeProof:

"The LifeProof nüüd case for iPad is a must-have for anyone that lets their children use the iPad. It's like taking out a warranty, and with the cost of the iPad, the price is well worth it. Not only does this ensure the longevity of your iPad, it will also allow you to relax and let your child use the iPad without you having to constantly hover around them. "

"Without a doubt, it is a product worth investing in. It is a product that I feel confident with validating its claims. My iPad is a shared product that is used by my three children and has tumbled more than once. The nuud case did protect and is well engineered. But most importantly, it is useful."

Unleashing new freedom for mobile computing, the LifeProof nüüd case for iPad is water proof, dirt proof, snow proof and shock proof, and features a totally naked screen that provides a perfect tactile response and visual clarity. The LifeProof iPad case protects iPad 2, iPad Gen 3 and Gen 4 devices.

"We're excited to receive the seal of approval from PTPA Media for the LifeProof nüüd case for iPad," said Gary Rayner, CEO of LifeProof. "Parents can now be worry-free when kids want to play games, check email or watch movies on their iPads in any environment."
