    My 3 year old absolutely made this case useless in a month!!! I bought a foam one off of amazon that has survived an entire year for a lot less than what I paid for this otter box. The built in screen protector on this sucks.

      Hi Deedevonne,

      We're so sorry to hear that your iPad mini 4 Defender series didn't end up being toddler-proof! While our cases are pretty tough, they aren't necessarily designed to be indestructible so much as they are intended to absorb the brunt of any impacts that might otherwise jeopardize your device. So as long as your iPad is doing okay, we're still going to call this a win and cut straight to the part where we set you up with a brand-new replacement. If this sounds like an option that you might be interested in, please feel welcome to call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be able to process a warranty claim with ease and haste!

      Best,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team OtterBox

    My initial purchase did not fit the iPad mini although it was clearly marked to. I had to go back to the store to exchange it which was annoying, however Freddy in the front was awesome! He helped me with everything and was super friendly!

    It is a good case but over price. I think otter box should do something with their price, if they want to keep their customers. I have been using them for a long time but the price is getting out of control now.

If you ever have any OtterBox questions or need assistance with your Defender please do not hesitate to contact our helpful Otters at 1-855-419-7417.

    This looks like a good piece of equipment but contrary to 2 different chat people it will not fit a 4 th gen iPad. Returned it with no problem and cc was credited right away.

      Hey there iPad,

      While we're glad to hear that this Defender series looked pretty solid, we apologize that it wasn't the right model for you! True, this specific case will solely fit the iPad mini 4, and not the regular iPad 4th Gen. We're happy that the return process was simple and straightforward, and we sincerely hope that this experience does not tint your vision of OtterBox for good. If you have any future questions or concerns, please feel welcome to call our amazing Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll go to great feats to help you out!

      Best,

    It's a little too bulky in my opinion...we wanted something that would protect the device but this is overkill

    I expected this to be a lot more useful it's hard to take off and the way it props up the IPad is ok for now but you can't really be mobile while using it probed up.

    The case detaches from the shell making it easy to misplace. After a while the plastic starts to wear out.

      Dear Henak123,

      Uh oh - sounds like the plastic shell on this Defender was so busy taking care of your iPad mini 4, it forgot to look after itself! We apologize that this case is looking a little worn out, but not to worry - our awesome Otters are ready to hook you up with a warranty replacement. Just give them a call at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll get a claim started right away!

      Sincerely,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team otterbox

      Dear Dani,

      We're truly so sorry to hear that your iPad mini 4 did not survive a drastic drop with this Defender series. We truly put forth every effort to ensure that the Defender meets our high standards of protection, but unfortunately, every drop or fall can be influenced by multiple different variables, some of which are beyond our control.

      Although our warranty is not transferable to the Apple device itself, we would very much like to send you a brand-new OtterBox in the event that your current case was also somehow jeopardized. Please feel welcome to call our friendly representatives at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be glad to further assist you with a warranty claim!

      Kindly,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team OtterBox
