    OtterBox for my new iPad 4 Mini is a bit pricey, but it's guaranteed against almost everything, and my iPad is safe in its armor! Also, there's a pop-up easel to tilt the screen to a comfortable angle.

    I use my iPad mini 4 as a monitor for my DJI Mavic and Spark quads. Since they are subjected to the outdoors quite frequently anything can happen. I like to minimize possible damage and keep my investment safe so I chose the Otterbox. I also have two more of these, one for my iPad mini2 and one for my iPad 3. I stick with what works.

    because of a rare disease.. my hands shake at times and release without any warning.. I smashed my other iPad and my iPhone in the same month. I have dropped my iPad many times in the last year and this case has protected it every time. Will never own another iPad or iPhone WITHOUT one of these cases on it.

    Can't go wrong with an Otterbox

    I've been a smart phone user for 7 years now, and ever since my first phone, I've invested in an Otterbox. They are durable, can withstand a lot of drops, scrapes and Lord knows what else. I bought this for my second iPad purchase, and it's as reliable as always. It's not cheap, but worth protecting the investment in the tablet or phone!

    The outer case serves as a stand and you can position your device in two ways. The outer case makes the iPad a bit bulky but since the iPad is very light the case itself isn't heavy at all.

    Where i work, they buy these same cases for phones and tablets. I use this same type case for my personal iPhone, an I’m satisfied with the protection it offers. I wanted great protection for the iPad mini 4 for my Dad’s, to use for FaceTime. Best way to go, and got a fantastic price on a Black Friday deal at Best Buy!

    Bought a couple of these for my young boys iPads. I would highly recommend for active kids, it is very durable and good design for at home/kid use. I use an iPad Mini for work and I would not like this case for me. A little too bulky for a work setting maybe, but again for home use and especially kids I say A+

    The Otterbox Defender Series Case offers superior protection for your device; it features a high-quality plastic inner shell which goes into the rubberized outter sleeve. Also, it includes a great durable plastic shell that attaches to the front during storage or transport; offers extra protection and a kickstand feature.

    The price was Great since it was on sale. But I really like the case, It might not be water proof, But the rubber button are a lot easier to use than a life proof case. The life proof case is water proof, but it hurts your finger to raise or lower the volume and you struggle to turm it on and off. Arrrrg

    Instructions on how to put case onto iPad are not much of a help. Thank goodness for YouTube. Once everything was secured and locked into place, iPad was kid proofed! Sturdy and thick case that withstands any falls (and throws) and prevents damage to device. Definitely a must for kids!

    bought a mini I pad for my granddaughter and needed a cover so if she dropped it it would not break. I was told that this is the best thing to buy to save the I pad from damage. So far it has done a great job. have the customer service rep. put the I pad in it for you. It's not easy.

    We have used the Otterbox defender series on multiple Android and Apple devices for years. We've only had one breakage of a Samsung S4 device under an extreme circumstance. This case fit the Mini 4 well. There is a clear screen cover and the hard cover also doubles as a multi-positional stand.

    I always protect my items with otter box. It's such a great product. Cracks on the screen, scuffs on the body are basically non-existent! I'm a klutz so when it falls, or the one time I left my item on top of the car while driving, and it slides off, I know my iPad, or phone will be ok.
