There is a one year warranty on the Speck™ case made for Osmo. If you believe that your case may be covered under the warranty, kindly reach out to our support team.

 

 

There are two Osmo designed, and Speck produced iPad cases:

1-one that accommodates the iPad Air, Air2, iPad 5th Generation, iPad 6th Generation and the Pro 9.7-inch (available now for Educators, available in November for consumers)

2-one that accommodates the iPad 2, 3, and 4 (availability TBD)

There are currently no plans to create a protective case for the iPad mini (or the Pro 12.9-inch, since that specific device is not currently supported).

 

After testing most existing iPad protective cases in the marketplace, we've discovered that none work with Osmo! For this reason, we went back to the drawing board and tested various custom designs instead.

The result of many months of hard work is a new and improved iPad base AND a protective case designed specifically for Osmo use!  We partnered with Speck, a leading name in protective cases, to ensure the highest level of iPad protection and we're excited to share some relevant information about both the new base and case:

New iPad Base:
- easy: to carry and to set up for small hands. No more inserts to adjust.
- landscape: can fit the iPad in both landscape & portrait modes; docks without removing the reflector
- solid: stable and sturdy design

New iPad Case:
- works exclusively with the new iPad base, and does not need to be removed!
- drop tested at 10-feet to ensure ultimate device protection
- protects ports, microphone, speakers, camera and entire device

 

 

Nope!  The Osmo case and new base are designed to work together, so that the case and reflector can stay on the iPad indefinitely!

The Osmo Case (and new base) is available in two different sizes, compatible with the following iPads:
iPad 2 - available TBD
iPad 3rd Generation - available TBD
iPad 4th Generation - available TBD
iPad 5th Generation - available November 2018
iPad 6th Generation - available November 2018
iPad Air - available November 2018
iPad Air 2 - available November 2018
iPad Pro 9.7-inch - available November 2018

The new Osmo iPad Case (and new base) is *not* compatible with:
iPad Pro 10.5-inch
iPad Pro 12.5-inch
iPad Mini
iPad Mini 2
iPad Mini 3

What about the iPad Mini 4?
Let us know if you're interested in purchasing the new case & base for the iPad Mini, as well as the quantity, by sending an email to schools@playosmo.com. We'll be in touch when they are ready!

No, it will not. The Speck-designed Osmo iPad protective case will only work with the newly designed Osmo iPad base.

How do you know which iPad base you have? See attached images for:
(A) classic iPad base (does not work with Speck case)
(B) newly designed iPad base (works with Speck case)

The key differences between the two bases are:
- the newly designed iPad base will work with the custom-designed Speck case (and the classic base won't)
- improved stability
- works in landscape mode to double as an iPad stand

If you own the classic iPad base, know that it works with ALL the Osmo games (including the newest games), so there's no reason to replace it unless you want to order the compatible iPad Speck case. The Speck case is available for purchase on our website now. 

Note that all the Osmo kits, whether purchased on our website or via a retail partner, have the classic iPad base. If you'd like the newer iPad base, it is available for sale on our website.

To reset progress in Osmo apps (except for Monster), click on the settings icon (a gear) in the top left corner of the home screen and select 'Reset progress'.

To reset progress in Monster, please log in to myOsmo ([https://my.playosmo.com](https://my.playosmo.com)), click on your username in the top right corner, select 'Profiles' from the dropdown menu and click any profile icon to go that profile's page and reset your progress.

We're working on adding better functionality for teachers. If you need to reset progress on a long list of profiles, the best solution right now may be to delete the old profiles and create new ones.

You can delete student profiles at your myOsmo page (https://my.playosmo.com).

After you log in, click 'myProfiles' on top of the page, then select the profiles you wish to delete and click 'Delete'.

This depends on your students’ needs and your access to iPads.  That said, many teachers use Monster during small-group instruction, independent learning, and centers. Monster en Español is ideal for these and similar times.

We created Monster en Español because ongoing research strongly suggests that learning a second language at a young age positively impacts creativity and critical thinking. The reason we started with Spanish is because nearly 20 million children in the U.S. are Spanish speakers.

Yes! If you are familiar with Monster, you will understand the premise of Monster en Español. When creating this learning tool, the Osmo team took into account that many teachers who support Spanish speakers have limited knowledge of Spanish. For that reason, the product has instructions in English and the onboarding is designed to be intuitive.
