With its patented X-strap system and sleek, yet tough design, the PROTEx™ Folio combines style, mobility, and durability to provide the ultimate comfort and maximum security you need whether you’re on the go or lounging around.
The PROTEx™ Folio makes your iPad easier to use and hold than ever before. In fact, we believe it's the easiest iPad case to hold. Once your hand is inserted into Higher Ground's exclusive X-strap system, it actually holds your hand for you! Unlike most cases, the iPad is set in from the edges, so the case takes the knocks, not your device. Convenient sound channels redirect the iPad's audio to the front, where it belongs. The multi-position stand provides typing or viewing angles. ID and asset tag windows help to quickly identify the owner. The hard cover is cleanable and non-slip, staying put where you want it.

VaultED™ for Phone-Free Classrooms
In response to growing state mandates requiring the secure storage of student cellphones during school hours, Higher Ground has developed a purpose-built solution to help schools maintain focus and limit distractions.
The Higher Ground VaultED™ pouch is designed with both functionality and security in mind. It features our easy-to-clean CleanShell™ fabric and integrated RF shielding to block cellular and wireless signals, preventing unauthorized device use or notifications during class. A high-decibel Velcro® closure alerts staff to unauthorized access attempts, while the integrated ID window ensures quick identification and assignment. The durable, wipe-clean surface and D-ring attachment (to clip to an optional lanyard or bag) make it practical for everyday school use.
Unlike competing products which rely on a physical lock and dongle system, VaultED™ prioritizes security without sacrificing accessibility. Locking mechanisms have been able to be compromised by students, which may result in permanent damage to the pouch. Additionally, the daily unlocking process may require students to wait in line at designated exit points, slowing dismissal and creating unnecessary bottlenecks.
In contrast, VaultED™ provides immediate access in case of emergencies, while still effectively preventing use during school hours. At the end of the day, students can retrieve their devices without delays, ensuring a smoother and safer school environment.
Features:
- RF Shielding - Blocks wifi, bluetooth, and cellular signals
- Loud Velcro Closure – Extra-loud Velcro to alert staff of access attempts
- CleanShell™ Fabric – Durable, easy-to-clean fabric
- D-ring for clipping to optional lanyard or bag
- ID Window – Easily identify assigned users or pouches
- EVA Foam Layer for padded protection
- No-Lock, Emergency Access - Avoid exit lines to unlock and encourage student trust and respect
- Easier for schools to enforce Cell Phone ban policies.
- A fraction of the cost of locking cases which can be defeated.

- VAULTED - Fits up to an iPhone 16 Max Pro or Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (with case)
