Shock or Crash-proof casing for iPad 3 (retina)

My autist son tends to throw things onto the hard floor: for my spouse's iPhone
6+, I've got one of those bulky/military-like casing & so far it has protected the
phone well despite being thrown by force more than 30 times by my son when
he's angry: kind of venting his anger by throwing things

I got a protective cover & 0.3mm tempered glass to protect the iPad 3 but on
one of those occasion, it landed with face down: both the tempered glass plus
the screen of the iPad 3 cracked.

In earlier throws, the iPad landed on the back (ie the casing), so nothing breaks
but this last throw broke it & I got the screen replaced for $100

Is there anything out there that could protect an iPad 3: let me know the full
link/url to order (Amazon, eBay)

Sorry, think the tempered glass that broke is probably 0.5 to 1mm
& it still failed to protect the iPad's screen.

The iPad & iPhone are running apps Proloquo2Go that teaches him
speech so it defeats the purpose if I took them away from him

> should not hit the touch screen part with a solid object as the display will crack
So I guess those eBay pictures showing the tempered glass could protect the
touch screen against hammer or even drills are simply misleading?

On most occasions when my son threw it, it did not crack but somehow that one
occasion was at a certain angle ...

Hmm I've seen military helicopters' screen made of bullet-proof glass but I guess
there's no such thing for phones' tempered glass or is there?
Popemobile is bulletproof, but that does not mean will have no scratches at hard impact. It depends always by impact, object of impact, angle...

Usually the impact is against a flat surface & that throw that cracked the
screen is with the screen downwards to the flat floor surface.

If there's a hard-shell casing (like those for iPhone 6 or 6+  that I got for
my spouse), the screen of the iPad won't get hit on impact: it will always
hit the edge of the casing: so is there such hard-shell casing for iPad?

It's the Fintie casebot above.   It never fails to protect against my autist
son's violent throws but I put a layer of tempered glass too.  Guess
the casing prevents the screen from being come into contact with
any surface during a crash

Hmm, perhaps I should consider Fintie's case below:
