The aXtion Extreme is HazLoc certified for Class I Div 2, Class II Div 2, and Class III Div 1 & 2 (Groups A–D, F & G), plus Ex II 2G Ex db IIC T6 Gb and Ex II 2D Ex tb IIIC T85°C Db. It suits oil and gas, petrochemical, chemical, and mining sites with ignitable gases or dust.
The Joy Factory makes rugged cases for Apple iPad (including iPad mini, iPad Air, and iPad Pro), iPhone 12 through 17 series, Microsoft Surface Pro, and enterprise tablets. Each case is engineered to the device’s exact dimensions, ports, and buttons for full operational access, across the aXtion Bold, Pro, Extreme, and Slim lines.
All aXtion cases are drop-tested using MIL-STD-810H methods: aXtion Extreme to 10 feet (3 meters) onto concrete, aXtion Pro to 8 feet, and aXtion Bold to 6 feet. Cases also protect against dust (IP65 minimum), water, vibration, and temperatures from -20°C to +60°C. Results vary by device model and impact angle.
aXtion Extreme offers maximum protection, with HazLoc certification for hazardous environments, a 10-foot drop rating, and sealed connectors. aXtion Pro provides 8-foot drop protection for regulated industries without explosive-atmosphere risk. aXtion Bold delivers 6-foot drop protection and an ergonomic grip for hospitals, retail, and construction. Choose based on drop risk, compliance needs, and budget.
MagConnect mounts use permanent neodymium magnets in rugged aluminum frames to lock aXtion cases with embedded magnetic inserts onto vehicles, carts, forklifts, production lines, and workstations. The tool-free, quick-attach system needs no power, holds through sustained vibration, and lets workers reposition tablets in seconds without damaging the case or device.
The Joy Factory serves manufacturing, oil and gas, energy and utilities, construction, healthcare, hospitality, retail, and supply chain industries. Its rugged cases and mounts are engineered for each environment’s specific hazards, from explosive atmospheres and heavy-equipment vibration to food processing and hospital cleaning, protecting over 5 million devices across 50 countries.
A rugged iPad case is a protective enclosure engineered to keep an iPad working through drops, dust, water, vibration, and extreme temperatures. The Joy Factory’s aXtion cases are tested to MIL-STD-810H methods and built for frontline teams in manufacturing, oil and gas, energy and utilities, construction, healthcare, retail, hospitality, and supply chain operations.
A hazardous location (HazLoc) tablet case is a certified enclosure that lets a commercial iPad or tablet be used safely where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dust may be present. Certification confirms the enclosed device will not become an ignition source. These cases are common in oil and gas, petrochemical, chemical processing, mining, and utilities.
No. Intrinsically safe (IS) equipment limits electrical energy so it cannot ignite gas even during a fault, and is typically specified for Division 1 or Zone 0 areas. Class I Div 2 certification covers areas where flammable gas is present only under abnormal conditions. Confirm your site’s area classification before choosing a device or case.
Yes. aXtion Bold cases use silicone compliant with FDA 21 CFR 177.2600, the regulation for rubber articles intended for repeated food contact, making them suitable for food processing workflows. Sealed, easy-to-clean surfaces also support hospital and clinical use. Contact sales to confirm compatibility with your facility’s approved disinfectants.
Yes. With over 15 years of customization experience, The Joy Factory designs custom and ODM rugged cases, mounts, and accessories around your device, workflow, and environment. Options include custom branding, fully modified enclosures, and integrated features, with every design prototyped and tested before production.
Pairing a commercial iPad or Surface with a rugged case typically costs less than a purpose-built rugged tablet, while giving workers familiar apps, faster processors, and easier device refreshes. When a new model launches, you replace the case rather than an entire proprietary hardware platform, lowering total cost of ownership.
A custom rugged solution is a case, mount, or accessory engineered around your device, workflow, and environment, not an off-the-shelf adaptation. The Joy Factory builds these solutions through custom branding, fully modified enclosures, and integrated features, keeping your team productive in any environment.
Every custom project starts with hands-on design and engineering — from custom branding, colors, and materials to fully modified enclosures with added ports, mounts, or sensor integration. The Joy Factory works directly with your team to tailor each detail to your device and use case.
Our rugged solutions are designed for the demanding environments of manufacturing, offering protection against drops, dust, and water. From production lines to warehouses, our products enhance operational efficiency, ensuring mobile devices remain functional and secure to keep workflows uninterrupted.
For the oil and gas industry, our rugged solutions are engineered to withstand hazardous environments, ensuring that your workforce can rely on secure and durable mobile technology. With certifications for hazardous locations, our products empower teams to work efficiently and safely in extreme field conditions.
When tablets are paired with a rugged aXtion® case; the setup provides equivalent protective features of a toughbook at half the cost. For construction environments that are unpredictable an aXtion case that offers military MIL-STD-810G certification is ideal at keeping the tablet safe from damage if it encounters an accidental drop.
Our rugged devices for the energy and utilities sector are built to handle the toughest conditions, whether in the field or at a power plant. They offer reliable, durable protection to keep mobile technology operational, allowing teams to monitor and manage infrastructure effectively, even in the harshest environments.
