\"\"<\/a>Newer Technology Inc.\u00a0announced the immediate availability of the NuGuard KX\u00a0for iPad mini<\/a>, a kinetic energy X-Orbing protective case for the Apple iPad mini. Backed by a lifetime warranty, the NuGuard KX provides Mil-Spec-certified protection for the iPad mini \u2014 without sacrificing style or adding significant bulk.<\/p>\n

\u201cThousands of our customers have loved the NuGuard KX case for iPhone<\/a>, which we released earlier this year. Now, they can protect their iPad mini with the same great technology and design<\/em>,\u201d said Larry O\u2019Connor, President of Newer Technology. \u201cWith its unique X-Orbing gel, the NuGuard KX installs in seconds to provide incredible protection against drops and scratches while maintaining a remarkably slim, light-weight profile that complements your iPad mini rather than compromising it.”<\/em><\/p>\n

X-Orbing Gel Meets U.S. Military Standard MIL-STD-810G Drop Test<\/b><\/p>\n

Unlike typical protective case materials that can add bulk to a case design and your iPad, the NuGuard KX uses state-of-the-art\u00a0X-Orbing gel technology<\/a> to absorb and evenly distribute kinetic energy for ultimate protection in an incredibly slim profile. This patent-pending, lightweight and thin design allows for protection against accidental drops, impacts and scratches \u2014 unlike the added bulk typically associated with other, more expensive cases that attempt to provide this level of protection.<\/p>\n

Protection That Doesn\u2019t Compromise Convenience<\/b><\/p>\n

With its precision-molded buttons and accessibility cutouts, the NuGuard KX allows for full operability of all function buttons and access to all of the ports on the iPad mini. For added grip, the backside of the KX features a crosshatch texture that also makes it easy to remove from a purse or briefcase. And with its one-piece design, adding the protection of a KX case to an iPad mini takes just a few seconds.<\/p>\n

iPad mini Survives a Four-Foot Drop Onto Concrete \u2014 and Down a Staircase <\/b><\/p>\n

To prove its effectiveness, Newer Technology documented the protective qualities and durability of NuGuard KX in extreme use scenarios. To document Quanta Laboratories\u2019 Mil-Spec certification, the recognized and required Method 516.6 Procedure IV (Transit Drop) test from 48 inches was recorded<\/a>. In our own real-world testing, NuGuard KX-protected iPad minis were confidently tossed multiple times down numerous stairwells \u2013 on video<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Get Total Confidence with a Lifetime Warranty<\/b><\/p>\n

In addition to protecting the iPad mini, the revolutionary NuGuard KX provides ultimate peace-of-mind ownership. The best-engineered case deserves the best possible warranty, so the NuGuard KX is backed by a best-in-class full replacement Lifetime Warranty<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
