As schools continue to invest in 1:1 device programs, technology is becoming an integral part of how students learn, collaborate, and connect. But while devices open the door to new possibilities, they also bring new responsibilities and risks. For administrators and IT directors, ensuring those devices are protected isn’t just a side note. It’s a key part of sustaining a successful, cost-effective program.
At Higher Ground, we work closely with schools and districts nationwide to provide protective solutions designed for the demands of educational environments. As 1:1 programs grow, the right device protection plays an increasingly critical role in ensuring tech can stay in the classroom, not in the repair shop.
Every device out for repair means a student falls behind. That’s why protection isn’t optional. Durable cases help minimize cracked screens, broken hinges, and other common issues that drain tech budgets and frustrate teachers.
As one partner shared after switching to Higher Ground:
“I’ve been extremely happy with Higher Ground cases, and we have definitely noticed a reduction in device breakage for those protected by your cases.” — Tech Director @ Stafford 349
Another district echoed the same results, noting not just durability but also support from our team:
“Higher Ground cases are rugged and durable. They protect our student devices and have decreased the amount of damage from student drops. Our representative works with us and understands our needs to provide the best solution that works for us.” — Tech Director @ Cornwall-Lebanon School District
Our cases are specifically designed to withstand the drops, spills, and backpack abuse that come with everyday student use. We also put every design through rigorous real-world testing to ensure long-term performance where it matters most.
Rolling out a 1:1 program or refreshing devices mid-cycle requires a trusted partner who can deliver at scale and meet tight timelines. We maintain ready inventory and offer fast shipping, helping districts stay on schedule without compromising on quality.
That was the case for one district that recently expanded their rollout with Higher Ground:
“This is our first year going full steam ahead with Higher Ground. Last year, we used your cases for our 8th grade class only. This year, we decided to replace all our cases with Higher Ground. Another local district (Ellinwood, KS) uses your cases and highly recommended them, which was a major influence on our decision.” — Tech Director @ Stafford 349
For others, the ability to customize and scale their solution has been just as valuable:
“Here at St. Michael High School we have been extremely happy with the service provided by Higher Ground. The products that we have purchased have been of exceptional quality. Higher Ground went above and beyond to customize our Flak Jacket Plus 3.0 cases and our students absolutely love them. The protection that these cases provide is unrivaled by any opponents.” — IT Director @ St. Michael The Archangel High School
Whether you're outfitting a single building or an entire district, we can accommodate bulk orders quickly and efficiently.
Our cases are engineered for learning environments, not just adapted from consumer models. Features like always-on-protection, easy-to-clean materials, and clear asset tag windows make it easier for schools to manage their tech.
That education-first approach has proven itself for schools year after year.
“These cases are a wonderful product. We bought four 14” cases in 2011 for our laptops that we loan to students for a 3-day checkout. These laptops and cases are taken everywhere and are in circulation most every day — and they’re still in great shape! Love them!” — Director Of Library Services @ Missouri State University
One high school saw measurable results across more than a thousand student devices:
“Year after year, accidental damage rates for our High School 1:1 were very low using Higher Ground cases. On over 1,100 MacBook Airs that were 4-years old, we had less than 1% accidental damage at our last end-of-year check-in. This is in large part due to the quality cases that protect our devices.” — Tech Director @ Indianola Community School District In Iowa
We’ve spent over 20 years working exclusively with schools. We listen, we adapt, and we innovate, all with the goal of helping educators and IT leaders maximize their tech investment.
Now is the time to get ahead of tech challenges with proven, school-ready solutions. If you’re looking to support your staff and students with reliable protection this year, let’s talk. We’re here to help districts of all sizes prepare for success.
