I saw this on the Gadget Show a few weeks back.

It's an iPad "case" that is really just some elastic wrapped around the exterior with rubber "balls" attached. When dropped, the iPad simply bounces a little.

Anyone know the name of it or, at the very least, know what I'm banging on about?

Ooooh, that's spooky, I was looking for the same thing, they're called iballz and you can find them on Amazon for about £22.

I can't decide if its a work of genius or so ugly that any practical benefit is not worth it

iBallz is great gadget. You can visit the company's twitter or facebook page as they have posted free giveaways for Christmas and New Year and try your luck! Happy Christmas!

I know what you mean, but I've got laminate flooring so think something like this is essential with my butterfingers!

But would it bounce enough is the question? It might not be able to break the fall much.

It will be reliable that your iPad screen will not break during a fall. But can't bounce more than a little
