Ad disclosure: This product was sent to me free of charge by MobileFun to be reviewed. However, as per my PR info disclaimer, this review is my unbiased honest opinion of the product.

MobileFunProduct: Speck iGuy Case and Stand for iPad Mini (Chili Pepper Red) from MobileFun.co.uk

Price: £22.97

Age Range: n/a

Manufacturer’s Description: Meet iGuy — the free-standing foam case for iPad mini. Every bit as protective as he is a blast to use, iGuy is the perfect iPad mini accessory for kids and grownups alike. He’s lightweight, easy to hold, and he can stand on his own two feet, even while holding up your iPad mini. He may look like he’s all about fun, but his soft, squishy body disguises tough EVA foam protection. iGuy will help you feel more secure as you hand your iPad mini over to your baby or small child!

MobileFun.co.uk is an online store which sells mobile devices and all the accessories or cases you could ever need to go with them. As well as the iGuy they sell the official apple (and more adult orientated!) iPad Mini Smart Covers, among many others.

Rating: (5/5 stars)

Review: Our initial reaction to the iGuy upon opening it was “Wow, this looks fun… and it should do the job, too!”, and it hasn’t disappointed. James got an iPad Mini just before Christmas and is, understandably, rather protective about it… especially as Georgie can easily (and with an air of complete nonchalance) carry it about in one hand as she clambers about the room. We knew we needed something to make it more kid-proof, and the iGuy fits the bill completely.

iPad Art

Georgie was having fun playing with the iPad this morning before breakfast (in the beloved guided access mode that stopped her exiting the app by accident, and allowed me to block off the settings button and iAd area). This was drawn using the Little Fingers app which is unfortunately no longer available on the app store – it’s a shame as it’s really easy for her to use and she can change colours herself.
