Can I mount an iPad on a tripod with a protective case?

I have a 10.9 inch iPad (10th generation). I would like to mount it on my photography tripod to film some timelapse footage. I would also like the iPad to be in a very protective case. What case and tripod mount should I get?
My concern is that most tripod mounts seem designed to hold a naked iPad, and my life is much too unpredictable for me to safely own a naked iPad (tripods tip over, I drop things, my kids are chaos engines). And I'd prefer not to have to keep taking the case off the iPad.
Thanks!

Best answer: We use a mount like this one, which has a .79" thick capacity. It takes a ton of digging around amazon listings to find ones that actually tell you that dimension, but it's worth it if that's what you want.
More expensive, but this one is a case that fits the tripod mount.

Best answer: You want a Smallrig iPad mount.
