Griffin SeeSaw review

1 / 2

The Griffin SeeSaw is a chunky iPad stand that lets you use your iPad at an angle as if its a mini desktop PC. Its intended for use by young children in classrooms and playgroups, so its big, bulky and brightly coloured. Inserting the iPad can be a bit tricky, but once in it the iPad is held fast.

There are buttons on the SeeSaw to match those on the iPad and there are holes for you to access the iPads various ports to charge it and attach it to speakers. Annoyingly, we couldnt insert the audio cable from our speaker system into the iPad because of its shape; you need a long, thin cable in order to do so.

We used the iPad to watch catch-up TV, play games and type notes, and were pleased to see that the case didnt move backwards on our desk. This makes it ideal for its intended use in the classroom. We also liked the angle, and found working and playing on the iPad comfortable. The cases carry handle makes it easy for children to carry it around, and its hollow design means it should be light enough to carry.

Neither the case nor the iPad is indestructible, but the case should afford some protection should your child drop it, unless the iPads dropped on its screen.

If you want a tough iPad case that lets your child work on it as if its a PC, then the Griffin SeeSaw is ideal.
