Gumdrop Cases, the frontrunner in hip protective accessories for mobile devices, and Telmate, a pioneer in inmate communications, have joined forces to produce well-suited tablets for use in correctional facilities.

Together, the two companies have guaranteed that inmates will have continued access to technology by introducing secure tablet safety into potentially high-octane environments.

When searching for the appropriate case to fit their Nexus 7-based tablet, Telmate sought durable and rugged protection and found that when they discovered Gumdrop Cases. Gumdrop Cases provides outfits for mobile devices that are secure on the outside and the inside. This means the Nexus 7 tablets can be used within correctional facilities with little concern that the devices might be tampered with, damaged or destroyed.

"We were able to customize the tablets to provide maximum control on the inside," commented JoAnn De Jesus, marketing communications manager at Telmate. "On the outside, we wanted it to be as durable as possible from usage and the environment. This isn't exactly an environment where the tablets are always in place or tethered."

The tablets, which are provided by Telmate and fortified by Gumdrop Cases, are products that offer inmates access to transformative communication that benefits their well-being. The Telemate Tablet is designed to completely alter how inmates use their time while incarcerated, helping them to connect with family and friends through wall posts, video messages, messaging and photo sharing.

Inmates can also access the self-improvement and personal development tools available on the device: drug and alcohol counseling, legal research, spiritual guidance, music and entertainment, life-skills training, language training, news, legal research, continuing education and G.E.D. resources, job and professional training, library of ebooks and secure web browsing.

"Inmates can either do unproductive things with their time, or they can do something productive -- like staying in touch with friends and family, studying or learning skills that will help prepare them to re-enter society," JoAnn De Jesus said. "By reducing the unproductive time, we're also reducing the chance of violence with other inmates or staff members."

Telmate equips inmates with technology, believing that productivity and restrictive movement will reduce violent incidents between imitates. The stationary intellectual, emotional and spiritual stimulation of inmates via the mobile device is believed to be advantageous for the facility and the prisoners.

The state-of-the-art hardware has a highly secure, custom-built ROM, a protected wireless network, triangulation abilities and cameras and microphones that may be activated for heightened security. Additionally, law enforcement uses the technology to help maximize operating efficiencies, increase control and security, and reduce recidivism by connecting inmates to their support network.

Beyond their work with Telmate, Gumdrop Cases has also established a partnership with Horry County School District as its primary iPad tablet case provider. Gumdrop equipped the low-income school district in South Carolina with 10,000 iPad cases. iPads housed in Drop Tech Series cases were given to students in grades 3-12, helping teachers to personalize education for each student.

The Drop Tech Series cases offer complete security and protect the iPads from scratches, drops and other damage. Dual material construction, rubber bumpers and integrated screen covers ensures superior support and durability against the clumsy and slippery hands of playful children.

But, Gumdrop Cases' products aren't simply for inmates and children. Available to the public, Gumdrop produces cases for Macbooks, iPods, tablets, iPads and smartphones. The fashion-forward designs incorporate maximum protection, shock absorption and screen protection.

Their latest product, the FoamTech case, was specifically designed to protect kids' tablets while they are at school, at home or during playtime. The form-fitting, lightweight foam has a handle that doubles as a stand for viewing and typing purposes, and it offers full access to media controls and ports. The case is available for the iPad Air, iPad 2/3/4, Nexus 7 (Version 2) and the 10-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab 4.
