Ok first off this is officially my 2000th post .

Alright now, I am shopping all over for 3 tablets that are fast, have some internal memory and I can get a protective cover for.

My son uses my spare iPad and the other kids have vtech innotabs, but I feel the innotabs are not enough for the 2 and I old rather all 3 have similar set ups to reduce jealousy and then later share apps and info. I don't want to spend too much and I saw some ok ones at Walmart that come with different colored cases, but has any one seen a good deal or know good idea of how to accomplish this. I want to have google play more than amazon apps. My kids are 4, 5(on Monday) and 7. My 7 yr old is autistic but all 3 tech savvy, thank you thank you very much.

I believe in some tech in kids lives but like now they left the electronics alone and are running wild in the play area lol.

Here is the link to the Walmart one, I hesitate cause I wanT something that won't frustrate the kids and then me lol

I have otter box defendors on my iPads that are super protective, but also a screen on them . Both my iPads are covered with fingers. I already bought touchpad friendly mini styluses as part of this plan. They have a cord that plugs into the headphone jack to not be lost. I think it was a colorful assortment of 8 . We plan to use me for our tablets iPads and when we use our phones for sales at quilt shows and events.

The otterboxes are 90 or more at stores and their website, but on amazon I get them for like 25. I spend half my job online researching tech for schools at work. I save so much money, but for tablets I usually go expensive at work and now it's my pennies. Amazon prime is nice too. Annual fee and fee movies and faster free shipping on all prime vendors. Which is most of the good ones, sometimes even discounts.

It was nice when I had Amazon student, but it wasn't worth it when the free period ran out.

so with a little info from mardi, and alot of googling. like him I bought the nexus 7. 3 of them, they are quick and I have already gotten a pc based manager to sync settings photos and apps to them with wifi.

I have an autistic 7 yr old who throws things and a 4 yr old girl whose good, and my boy whose a tornado and soon to be kick boxer lol. I am shopping for covers, I have otterbox defenders on the ipads but not released yet on the nexus 7. I think the gumdrops will work for now. I like their texture on the back too.
