A:AnswerThe case is not slim. It actually bulks up the tablet quite a bit, which is pretty common for Otterbox products, but it gives superior protection in return for both the front and back of the tablet whether in use or while transporting it.
A:AnswerI wouldn't take the screen protector off especially if it's a tempered glass one. iPad still works fine with my screen protector on it in this case
A:AnswerDon't know what style of cord you have but we use a cord that is generic lightning style and it works fine.
Are you putting the case on upside down maybe?
If all else fails maybe you could enlarge the opening SLIGHTLY with a DREMEL tool.
If you do this keep checking the fit so as not taking off any more than needed.
A:AnswerYou have the wrong case. There are iPad Air cases and iPad Air 2 cases. They are not the same setup. Look into it and you will see I'm correct. I made the same mistake.
A:AnswerNo. The sixth generation is 1 mm thicker. You would think that this would not make a difference, but the case will not close do to this. I know this from personal experience! I have 2/6 generation iPads The first one I’ve purchased on the label said 5th/6th generation. So I assumed they were the same and ordered the one for the air 2.
A:AnswerI purchased the Otterbox for iPad Air initially; it fit my iPad (not Air) but covered some buttons, the microphone, etc. I returned it to get the Defender for iPad (5th generation). Don't know about number "A1822". Don't know if my iPad is 5th generation; just the iPad they had in the store along w/ the fancy new one and the mini.
A:AnswerPeel off the rubber and start at the top corner and undo one tab at a time work your way around the perimeter and you will be able to clean underneath the plastic cover
Go at any phone store and they can get that off in two minutes flat
A:AnswerHi! I just recently bought the latest (newest) iPad, and we did a form/fit test with this Otter at Best Buy. Alas, it will not accommodate the newest iPad as this Otter model is built for the iPad Air-1 and Air-2. The newest iPad is a bit thicker and heavier -- which I prefer. I was able to find something similar on-line. Thanks from Scotty at CoinFinders
