CIA Trusts Tablet Shells to Protect Their iPads in Homeland S02E12

Another tablet case has been spotted in a TV series by the restless Tablet2Cases team. This time Saul Berenson, in Homeland S02E12, is using an iPad encased in a tablet shell to check out the list of deceased and wounded in a terrorist blast.

Saul (played by Mandy Patinkin) enters a command tent set up to deal with CIA building blast aftermath, and a commanding officer hands him an iPad wearing what looks to be a durable tablet shell. Although this type of cases is great for protecting the back and sides of a tablet, CIA operatives could approach device protection with a bit more care and check out some rugged and tough accessories, designed for action in the field. The case Saul holds for a while and then returns provides the following features:

Impact protection for tablet’s back and sides

Full access to all ports and buttons

Raised bezel to protect the iPad’s screen when placed face down

 
Homeland is a highly popular TV show, premiered on Showtime in 2011, which has already entered its third season and still enjoys great ratings. The series revolves around an American POW, Nicholas Brody, who was rescued from lengthy capture in Al-Qaeda hands. At the time of the rescue CIA learned that an American prisoner has been turned, and they are now trying to find out if it’s Brody or not. The TV show has got it all: fear, loathing, love, hate, betrayal, and even a grown-up Claire Danes.
