Operlo Arca — Slim Rugged Hard-Shell Case for iPad 10th Gen / A16

Military-spec protection in a harder, sharper shell — rigid where silicone is soft, slim where rugged is bulky.

• ✅ A shell that shrugs off bag life. The hard polycarbonate exterior resists the scrapes, key-scratches and grit that scuff soft cases.
• ✅ MIL-STD-810H certified — 1.2 m drops, survived. The same military-standard drop rating as our chunkiest cases, in a cleaner-lined build.
• ✅ The stand comes off when you don't want it. A removable typing/viewing stand: on for desks and film nights, off for the slimmest carry.

What makes it work

• Hard plastic outer shell — a rigid exterior that shrugs off scrapes and bag-grit where soft silicone scuffs; the sharper-looking sibling in the rugged range.
• Open-face design — nothing between you and the display, for the purest touch and pencil feel. Pair it with our 9H Glass Screen Protector — cut to sit inside the Arca's raised edges — for full screen cover, or grab the Arca Complete kit with the glass and stylus included.
• Removable typing/viewing stand — clicks on for propped-up work and viewing, clicks off entirely when you want minimum profile.
• Built-in stylus holder — the Operlo Stylus or Apple Pencil travels in the case, not loose in the bag.
• MIL-STD-810H certified, insurer approved — independently drop-tested to 1.2 metres and accepted by device insurers.

Fits iPad 10th Gen & A16 (10.9″/11″ display). Photos show a stylus in the built-in holder for illustration — the stylus is sold separately, or included in the Arca Complete kit.
