IceCase keeps your team members operational longer and helps keep your iPads from overheating.

The IceCase Active Cooling Case for iPad Mini 2, 3 and 4 is the direct result of a request we received from Bruce and his team at Chick-fil-A Goodyear (AZ) for a cooling solution that would prevent iPads from overheating during iPOS. Chick-fil-A Goodyear asked us to extend their operational time to one hour from the previous 20-30 minute status quo during the lunch rush. During live iPOS field testing at Chick-fil-A Goodyear (August 2017, 107F outside temperature), IceCase prototypes kept the iPad Mini fleet operational for 2+ hours with power to spare. 

NOTE: actual cooling time may vary based on location, iPad battery health and iPad model (newer models are more efficient and are less stressed by the software).

The heart of IceCase is IceBloq: a quad array of dual-hulled phase change material pods which provide hours of conductive cooling for the iPad Mini. iPads are not cheap and downtime from out of service iPads is downright painful, so we built IceBloq with dual-hull construction to prevent leaks or ruptures in even the most rugged environments. IceBloq is so strong it can be run over with a car without rupturing! IceBloq quickly recharges in a freezer, refrigerator or even an ice water bath in 45-60 minutes.

IceCase is more than an Active Cooling Solution for iPad Mini. Working closely with beta testers including Lance and his team at Chick-fil-A Fair Lakes (VA), we have expanded IceCase's capability considerably. We covered IceCase with a durable loop Velcro field so it will readily accept our specially designed IceCase Hand Warmer (coming Winter 2018) to keep your team comfortable and productive in the cold winter months without the need for bulky gloves. We also integrated twin Stylus silos for right and left handed users to keep a touchscreen stylus at the ready when needed.

In working with the teams at Goodyear and Fair Lakes, we had dozens of team members tell us how uncomfortable hard cases can be in the hands, especially during longer shifts. Drawing on ergonomic handgrip design knowledge gained from our law enforcement background, we built IceCase from a soft, consumable high density foam that cushions the hands and fills the palms for extended comfort. This is the same design philosophy found all over police equipment from steering wheels to motorcycle handgrips to side arm grips. Filling the hands means more relaxed muscles which means greater comfort over a long period of time.

IMPORTANT NOTE: the IceCase chassis is designed to be easily replaced over time as it wears out from normal use. IceBloq Cooling Inserts are extremely durable and can be used repeatedly with any IceCase. 

Standard Power Comes with IceCase chassis and one IceBloq cooling pack. 

Extended Power adds a second IceBloq cooling pack.
