Next step is to find out what tablet mfrs to avoid, as not being tough enough. I'd guess that most iPads will pass the "tough" test. What I hope is to find a cheap 8 inch (or one step larger) Android that also passes the test, but I will fall back on used iPads if that proves hard. Not to start a new topic--I should open a new thread--but I read good things about the nVidia Shield, though it is on the small side for my purposes.
For what it is worth, amazon claim that fire tablets are toughterthan ipad, do better in drop tests etc. Not sure how much they cherry pick results. They are much cheaper to replace. The one they sell as a kids tablet with 2 year no quibble you break it we replace it is a possible, as a cheap back up for your main device.

Dunno if carry weight is a factor for you, the nvidia shield is heavier then average.
