The Kensington Black Belt 1st Degree Rugged Case for the HP Slate meets military-grade testing by surrounding the HP Slate in a strong, cushioned layer of rubber for great shock absorption when the inevitable drops and bumps happen. The rubberized surface offers great grip so it's easy for kids to hold onto and prevents the HP Slate from sliding off a table or desk. All these features not only protect your investment, but also your greatest asset - learning time. One part of the HP Slate Tablet that's particularly vulnerable is the corners, so the Black Belt 1st Degree Rugged Case is designed with extra thick corner protection. There's also a raised bezel that protects the Slate's screen from scratches, and the included back protector offers additional insurance against scratches. Even with all this protection, the Black Belt 1st Degree provides access to all of the HP Slate's ports, controls and cameras, and makes charging and syncing easy.
