Belkin has teamed up with Disney and Pixar to release a special edition iPad case based on Lilypad, the frog-shaped smart tablet character from the upcoming Toy Story 5 — hitting cinemas on 18 June (if you haven’t seen the trailer yet, I’ve linked/embedded the trailer below, definitely worth a watch!). For families with young kids or Disney collectors, this is a pretty fun crossover between everyday tech accessories and one of the most anticipated animated films of the year.
The case is designed to transform an iPad into a character companion of sorts, with expressive eye details and a design closely inspired by Lilypad’s appearance in the film. It’s compatible with the iPad 10th and 11th generation, and beyond the looks, Belkin has made sure it holds up to the real-world chaos that comes with handing a tablet to a child.
Construction is built around durable EVA foam, which is solid at absorbing the bumps and drops that are pretty much inevitable during everyday play. The edges are soft and grippy, making it easier for smaller hands to hold on to securely. There’s also a built-in carry handle for portability and a foldable kickstand that props the iPad up for hands-free use — whether that’s watching videos, drawing, or doing schoolwork.
A nice touch is the inclusion of a QR code inside the packaging that unlocks complimentary Lilypad-themed wallpapers for the home and lock screens, which really does make the whole setup feel more cohesive. The materials are non-toxic and wipe-clean, which any parent will appreciate more than they’d like to admit.
The Belkin Lilypad iPad Case is available now for A$69.95 AUD through Belkin.com/au and Amazon.com.au, with Costco availability coming soon.
