InfoCase, a leader in rugged device protection for education, just announced the launch of PermaLock™ XP, a patent-pending protective case engineered specifically for K–12 student devices. Designed to address one of the most persistent challenges faced by school districts—students removing protective cases—PermaLock™ XP physically locks onto devices, ensuring they remain protected throughout the entire school day and beyond.

With the campaign message “Locked Once. Protected 24/7.”, PermaLock™ XP introduces a new category of device protection focused on engineered certainty rather than student compliance.

For years, school districts have invested in rugged protective cases only to discover that students frequently remove them, leaving devices exposed to damage and increasing repair costs. The patent-pending PermaLock™ XP design eliminates this risk by securing directly to the device, helping ensure consistent protection throughout the lifecycle of the technology.

“District leaders have long struggled with the reality that removable cases often end up off the device,” said John Matthews, General Manager of InfoCase. “PermaLock™ XP changes the equation. Once installed, the case stays in place — giving schools confidence that their devices remain protected wherever learning happens.”

Designed for the Realities of K–12

PermaLock™ XP was developed specifically for education environments where devices travel daily between classrooms, backpacks, buses, and homes. The rugged case maintains full device functionality while preventing removal during normal student use, helping IT teams manage device protection at scale.

PermaLock™ XP also creates long-term value beyond day-to-day protection. Through InfoCase’s partnership with Refreshed Tech, a leader in device end-of-life services, schools using PermaLock™ XP can get a guaranteed buyback rate on their devices. This added buyback assurance gives districts greater financial certainty for planning and budgeting. (For more details, call +1 800-248-4844.)

Key Benefits of PermaLock™ XP

• Guaranteed protection – patent-pending locking design secures the case directly to the device
• Prevents student removal – eliminates a leading cause of unprotected devices
• Continuous 24/7 protection – once installed, the case remains in place
• Reduced repair rates – helps minimize accidental damage and service tickets
• Eliminates lost or discarded cases – maintains consistent protection across device fleets
• Extended device lifecycle – supports improved total cost of ownership for school districts
• Stronger buyback outcomes – guaranteed rate returns more funding to schools
• Greater budget certainty – improves financial planning by increasing confidence in end-of-life device value

Built for Modern Device Programs

Many school districts now operate large-scale 1:1 student device initiatives, issuing thousands of laptops or tablets each year. When protective cases are removed, damage rates increase and devices are frequently taken out of service for repairs — disrupting learning and straining technology budgets.

PermaLock™ XP enables schools to shift from reactive repair spending to proactive device protection by helping ensure every issued device remains safeguarded throughout the school year.

Turning Protection Into Certainty

If the device is issued, it’s protected.

PermaLock™ XP helps school districts bring consistency and predictability to their technology programs by ensuring protection stays in place from deployment through daily student use. Combined with stronger end-of-life buyback confidence through Refreshed Tech, PermaLock™ XP gives schools a smarter way to protect devices, plan budgets, and recover more value over time.

PermaLock™ XP is available now for leading K–12 student device platforms.
