First Look: Kensington SafeGrip Rugged Case & Stand for iPad mini + Security Case & Lock for iPad

Kensington has released two distinct products under the same family name: SafeGrip Rugged Case & Stand for iPad mini ($50) and SafeGrip Security Case & Lock for iPad ($90). The latter model supports second-, third-, and fourth-generation iPads. Although it’s not identical, the iPad mini holder reminds us of i-Blason’s ArmorBox Kido Series. The foam case has a hinged-handle that can also act as a stand. This one includes a stylus, which can fit into a groove on the back, as well as screen film and an applicator. It only comes in green. SafeGrip Security Case & Lock has a similar outer piece, but the iPad first fits inside a hard plastic case with a locking mechanism. Included with the pack is a ClickSafe lock. This one comes in bright orange, and looks pretty monstrous — gigantic, and without a particularly good match between the inner and outer layers. The last photo below shows how awkwardly the parts come together.
