    Love that this has a built in screen protector, and front attachable cover/ stand that will protect the screen during travel. I have used these case for years on my iPhones and this iPad case is no different. Such a small price to pay to protect your valuables.

    For me the defender Otter Box is a must have for my iPad. The fit and finish is really good and the protection is great. I’ve never managed to harm an iPhone or iPad with an otter box on it. Without one they wouldn’t last me a day.

    I drop all of my devices so a case is a must. This case makes me not concerned whenever I drop my iPad but I honestly believe it gives you a better grip on it as well making it easier to hold onto it. Haven’t had any problems.

    Great product, Otter Box Cases have protected my kids apple products from Gen1 iPad to Gen2, and now Gen2 to Gen3 iPad Mini with no breaks or problems in between. The old iPads still look brand new when you take them out of the otter box years later. Thumbs up.

    Bought this for my 5 years old. It has saved her iPad mini numerous amounts of times flawlessly. I can honestly say that the mini would be out of commission right now had it not been for this otter box case!! Highly recommended!!

    This otterbox really does the trick, it is reslly well made abd can really take a hit! My son (5 years old) accidentally let it fall and still perfect not even a scratch. Worth every penny and the store price matched so I got it at an awesome price.

      Dear Yuliya,

      We're so glad to hear that the Defender case is keeping your iPad mini 4 guarded against danger, but we apologize that it seems a little too bulky for your comfort level. Fortunately, we do carry a few other styles for this iPad that might work better for you! Feel free to contact our awesome Otters at 1-855-688-7269 if you're interested, and let us know if you have any further questions!

      Cheers,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team otterbox

    I have no quibble with the protection this case provides -- it's an Otterbox, after all. I also understand that it's going to add considerable bulk, which all Defender cases do. What I didn't like at all was that it made my home button much harder to use -- maybe it's just the size of my thumbs, but I had a hard time getting the fingerprint sensor to work. It also makes the other buttons just a tad harder to press. I ended up just ditching it and going case-less.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Dear TexRex,

      It certainly would be frustrating to not be able to access the most important button on the iPad! We apologize that the Defender was giving you trouble. It is odd that the fingerprint film was the main issue, especially since that area is designed to give you full access to the home button. Not to worry - our super Otters are here to save the day! Just ring them up at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll rescue that case with a warranty replacement. We're confident that a new Defender should keep your iPad protected going forward!

      Regards,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team otterbox
