    We have had a number of Apple products in our house between phones and IPads and they have all been protected by Otterbox. We find them very durable, lighterweight, and long lasting compared to other brands. Although I wish there were more color options, I would not want to try another brand.

    I use this in place of a protection plan for my iPad. Great protection. A little hard to put on, if you haven't used it before. I had to watch a UTUBE video, but thankfully it finally went on and is excellent. Highly highly recommend if you have an iPad and use it or travel with it a lot.

    My wife bought this case on a whim only to realize that it was for the iPad mini 4 (she has the mini 3). It looks like a good product and I can't fault the product for our mistake. We bought the correct model and loved it so I would imagine this model would be similar for those with the iPad mini 4.

    The only thing I do not like about this product is that it makes my IPad feel heavy. Other than that it protects my laptop very well.

    After several tries of different other products for my daughters iPad, I was forced into buying the Otterbox. It didn't call my attention originally since it looked a bit bulky. However, this thing proved to be the best cover available. It is not as bulky after all and the quality is excellent.

    I had used the folding folio type cover in the past and they did not protect my iPad. After several drops the screen and case cracked. The Otterbox, purchased with a new Mini 4, appears to better protect the corners, where most of the damage occurs. Only time will tell.

    I have been using Otterbox cases for a few years now and I can honestly say that no other case manufacturer has come close to what Otterbox offers for protection against drops/falls. It's the most effective case especially when it's protecting a younger child's device. Love it....

    I wanted a rugged case for my iPad that I use with my drone. Once the outer cover is on, I think this thing would survive a 10' fall. It's bulky but that is fine for my use. It also will prop the iPad up to watch movies, an added benefit that I didn't realize it had when I ordered it.

    I have this case for my ipad pro that goes into some very industrial environments and has held up well enough for me to buy one for my daughters ipad mini. Impact protection as well a screen coverage makes this a great choice for the working man or the accident prone preteen.

    Bought this for my wife to use with her iPad. It has already held up to several drops without issue. She doesn’t use the stand much and without the stand attached it is not as thick as I originally thought which makes it a lot easier to carry around.

    Right after I got an iPad Mini 4, I realized that it was easily dropped by my fumbling fingers. I tend to drop things a lot! This case is very strong and durable, which prevents me from accidentally dropping it. I've lost most feeling in my hands from carpal tunnel surgery.

    Bought the otter box defender for brand new iPad mini. Works like a charm and I can honestly say that it has paid for itself in just one month of use. Has saved the iPad mini from at least 5-8 drops that without a case would have caused a cracked screen. It's fantastic!!

    I was in search of a case to protect my Reese's iPad I purchased. When I went into the store I was greeted by Roul and we begin to chat. He gave me several options for protecting my iPad. And after you explained the durability and reliability of this product I had to have it!

    Otter box defender cases are durable and practical for anyone wanting to protect their mobile device. I've used one for 3 different model iPhones and 3 different model iPads. In each instance they kept the device in pristine condition while absorbing all the punishments and mishaps.

    Great protection especially for my two year old that uses it and tend to drop it. Im not a big fan of the plastic screen cover that comes with it due to the smudge that I leaves behind and the fact I have to remove a few time to clean the actual screen

    This case is sturdy and is a perfect fit for my 3year old mini iPad!! Got this case because if I was going to spend this amount on a table for a three year old wanted it to be protected!! So far no problem and she’s had it for over a year now

    This is a nice case for your iPad mini 4. The only issue I had, was that the screen protector seemed to make the response time slow... So I removed it from the case. (it is glue onto the inside of the face part.) Other than that, it is great!
