Customers are saying

Customers recognize the Defender Pro Series Case for Apple iPad mini provides great protection and a tight fit, and is easy to install. However, some customers have noted the absence of a built-in screen protector and issues with the stand's stability. Additionally, there are concerns about the case's overall quality, its ability to hold the Apple Pencil, and some find the design to be unsatisfactory.

    Rock solid system. It holds the pen safely and securely. Definitely good drop protection. Watch a video on how to install your tablet.

    They need to get rid of the side door that opens to charge the pencil. It does not seal and somewhat negates having the case if it gets splashed.

    Otterbox Defender is by far the best case I have owned. I have one for all my iPads and Phones. The quality makes the cost worthwhile.

    read the reviews first before buying , i didn't and i regret buying this , the apple pen bar broke and i don't even use an apple pen and the whole case started to fall apart , never dropped it , was never rough with it, this is using it very minimally. then the outside plastic part does not stay on. its like i touch it every time and it just falls apart in my hand. one of the worst otterbox cases i've ever had and i normally have great experience with it. i am not even the type of person that leaves bad reviews but it upset me to no end.

    If I could give 0 stars I would. I have only trusted Otterbox with my Apple products and I am extremely disappointed, frustrated, and in disbelief. Purchase on 1/31/ iPad broken on 2/19/22. This is a $70 case and didn’t last 1 month. The plastic “protective cover” is not tight to the case and lifts. Also, the Apple Pencil holder should have been positioned better. Very flimsy and poorly designed.

    I was shocked to see the case break so easily when my son dropped it. Definitely not worth the price
