    Fair Review

    Excellent protection dir accidental drips and scratches. Has a cool apple pen holder. The screen film collects excessive dust making screen appear dirty. The back stand was hard to close most times and eventually broke loose and won’t stand again. Would still buy again for my son.

    Survived My Clumsiness — OtterBox Deserves a Medal

    I don’t usually write reviews, but this OtterBox case saved my iPad from a flying leap off the kitchen counter, a fall off the car seat, and an incident involving a very curious cat. It’s basically my iPad’s bodyguard — rugged, reliable, and not afraid to take a few hits. Feels great in the hand, buttons click like a dream, and the built-in stand makes Zoom calls look way more professional than I actually am. Is it bulky? Yes. Does my iPad now look like it’s training for a space mission? Also yes. But am I ever worried about a scratch? Never again. If my iPad had feelings, it would definitely be writing this review itself, thanking me for this armor.

    Great protection! Bad quality and design of stand.

    Great case for protection. It is an OB. Problem is the sliding plastic piece used to stand the IPAD up. It has two very tiny plastic pegs on each side that anchors the stand in place. On broke. I could use, though the other peg would come out and was hard to get it lined up right. Then that peg broke and now the stand is useless. I am a couple of weeks past the point of being able to return it. If you don’t use the stand, it is great for protection. Headed out to get another one.

    Disappointed

    The case itself is what you expect from Otter box. Good sturdy and has a built in screen cover. It will protect the iPad fair enough. The bad is the stand part is very flimsy and has already broken. Also the chore of cleaning the case when things like dirt or lint get under te screen protector requires you to take everything off This is over priced. I would have been better served getting an Amazon product.

    otter box for apple ipod

    This product has been great. We feel like it really does protect our grandson's iPad. It does seem a little bulky because of the size of the iPad, but it works good.

Questions & Answers

  • Do you have to use the hard plastic back with the kickstand?

    No, the case stays on the iPad without the shield attached. Many people remove the shield while using the iPad and only attach it when transporting or storing the device. The stand/shield is an accessory to the case rather than a required structural component.
