Got to buy an Ipad in a shop tomorrow, advice appreciated.

Hi guys

Apologies for what is probably a basic question, but I need to buy an iPad tomorrow, from a high street store. It's for a nipper to use for homework and games. I know nothing whatsoever about iPads, and am frankly disinterested. The recipient, however, is likely to be my harshest critic, so I don't want to buy the wrong thing.

I have been advised that this case: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Griffin-GB35108-Survivor-M... is the one to have, so whatever the device is needs to fit in one.

We've got John Lewis, PC World and Currys near here, if that helps.

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

John Lewis is the store to go to great customer service.

However the link is to a case that is no longer in the current lineup of iPad models. However if you go for an air then this is the same case http://www.amazon.co.uk/Griffin-Survivor-Military-...

Beware that the case is not suitable for air2.

I had a griffin survivor case on my phone and hated it. And gave it to my cousin who had broken his (builder and phone survived) however we have the same case on company iPads and they are brilliant and I regret getting a leather case for my iPad. I may actually change to it.

Great thank you, so an iPad Air is the one to buy then.

On the basis that I needed to get this sorted, I have ordered one for collection from John Lewis. It's an Air 16GB and a Griffin Survivior case.

Thank you all for your advice, it was greatly appreciated.

They're offering three year guarantees at the moment I think? I got my Air2 from John Lewis as I wanted the included two year warranty.

Yes they are FB, which is nice.

Just a thought, might want to get your head around in app purchases and controlling how games and stuff is bought.

This is a very good point. I got caught like this before - I thought before that I'd turned off the ability to buy apps, but then in-app purchases were made.

Can anyone refresh my memory, please, regarding which settings I need to amend?
