Was very difficult to get the iPad mini inside the case there also is no screen protector that comes with it and no directions. Also, the stand that comes with it it does not work the little arm that is supposed to hold the case and iPad up is facing the wrong direction. If I hadn’t priced match to Amazon, I would be returning this item that we bought two of Regular $89. I got it for 42.

Busy life and children with autism makes this a huge plus. My kids have broken many tablets with other cases and this is still going strong years later!

My son loves this case! It’s not as bulky as some other ones but he does not like how there is no stand for it. But there weren’t many cases to choose from.

When the case is closed doesn’t allow my Apple Pencil to charge. doesn’t hold the iPad , falls down easily The case is too hard to open . A case that separates in two pieces is not good idea . And over expensive …this case isn’t worth what I paid for…I’m sorry it was a mistake getting this.

We always get Otterbox cases for our phone and iPads. Haven’t had any problems the protect our devises and are very sturdy. We have tried other cases in the past but none of them even start to give the protection Otterbox does

Otter Box protection

I wouldn’t have an iPad without an Otter Box Defender. The only thing is it no longer has a glass protector. If you were to drop something on the front of your iPad it would damage the glass on the iPad. You can buy a glass protector but you shouldn’t have to buy that in addition to the main defender case.

Have been a huge fan of Otterbox cases simple because they are super rugged and protective. My phone, watch and both my iPads are sporting theses cases. They ditched the plastic screen protectors and was the best thing they done for this line of cases. Apple and Otterbox are a great team and really wouldn't own a device without a Defender protecting it. Get one. Highly recommend.

I have been so happy with my Otter protector I bought for my iPhone back in 2019; it was an easy decision to get this larger version for my new iPad mini. Excellent protection and two-piece design. I can go without the frontal screen protector when using my mini in the house, but it comes in handy when I pack the device in a briefcase or luggage for transport. Bravo.

I bought this cover for my grandson’s iPad mini. He was very happy with the cover and I was too. I think that even if you are careful you could drop it and ruin your birthday gift.
