Are you planning to use your iPad Pro 2018 at the beach this summer? Bad idea, between sand, salt and water, it's the end assured for your tablet. Unless you invest in a waterproof shell, like this model marketed by the props Catalyst¹. Once protected in this shell, the iPad Pro becomes waterproof with an IP68 certification similar to that of recent iPhones. The fully waterproof iPad Pro with this Catalyst | iGeneration case

The iPad Pro should come out of a one-hour swim at two meters deep with no problem. These are maximum values, the case will not be able to do anything for you if the tablet falls to the bottom of the ocean, or remains in a bathtub for several days. This reinforced protection will also improve resistance to shocks: Catalyst indicates that the tablet should come out without any problem in the event of a fall of 1.2 meters.

Achieving such results will require compromises. The iPad Pro 2018 are particularly thin at the base (5.9 mm), but it will be a vague memory once in this shell of almost 2 cm thick (1.8 cm for the 11 inch, 1.87 cm for the 12.9 inch). The manufacturer does not give the empty weight of its product, but we imagine that the tablet will also be significantly heavier.

That's the price to pay to turn the iPad Pro into a truly all-terrain tablet. In some professional settings, this will be an asset, especially since Catalyst offers full access to all ports, buttons and functions of the device. All of this comes at a price: €170 for the 11-inch iPad Pro, €190 for the 12.9-inch model. Deliveries will start in July and you can watch the manufacturer's Amazon page if you want to avoid shipping costs.
