Well, it depends on how they take care of their things. The Ultrathin is certainly not the most protective of cases. If they're you're normal kid and may be rough with it you may want to consider the OtterBox for the iPad and the Logitech Tablet Keyboard. They're separate but they work very very very well together (no latency) and the iPad will have great protection. The downside is that its not the lowest-cost solution at all.
There's a decent Zagg keyboard case too but its not nearly as protective as an OtterBox. Here's the OtterBox on my Air but the rMini's looks pretty much the same. I love knowing they're so well protected (including the screen) against every day bumps and bruises.
