If you checked out the videos we posted some time ago of bowling balls being dropped onto Apple’s tablet and also throwing the iOS tablet from an ultralight some 500ft up, you’ll probably know just how well the G-Form Extreme Sleeve protects your beloved Apple iPad from drop damage.

Well according to the guys over at Ubergizmo, the makers of the Extreme Sleeve for iPad have now announced an updated version of the protective Apple iPad accessory called the G-Form Extreme Sleeve 2.

Apparently the G-From Extreme Sleeve 2 still retains all the protective advantages of the original Extreme Sleeve, but also features an extra Reactive Protection Technology layer located under the zipper to deliver extra impact absorption.

As for the details, the iPad Extreme Sleeve 2 is a lightweight protection sleeve that is also flexible and waterproof just in case you decide to throw it in the sea I guess, and will protect your darling Apple iPad and can also accommodate the Apple iPad 2 with its Smart Cover, and basically protect your iOS tablet from coming to any harm during everyday use, or when you happen to drop it from an ultralight or accidentally drop your bowling ball onto it.

Have to say when I first saw the videos of the bowling balls being dropped onto the G-Form Extreme Sleeve protected Apple iPad I had my doubts whether the accessory would protect the screen fully, but obviously it does. Same goes for when they chucked it from that ultralight, although it is doubtful anyone would drop their iPad from 500 foot up, but does show just how durable the sleeve is.

If you wish to upgrade your protection for your iPad, the G-Form Extreme Sleeve 2 for the Apple iPad and Apple iPad 2 is available from G-Form of course and commands a quite reasonable price tag of $69.95, (what price to you put on the ultimate protection for your device) and is available in the same colours as the original, that being yellow and black.

So there you go, if you want to protect your Apple iPad 2 with its Apple Smart Cover in place then perhaps the G-Form Extreme Sleeve 2 is the one for you. Have any of our Apple iPad owning readers purchased the G-Form Extreme Sleeve, and have you been tempted to test it to the full or have you shied away from pounding your iPad brutally just in case?
