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.

Its ok but i have found better for cheaper. Love the protection factor. I use my mini in many industrial areas and have dropped it. I have zero worries with it but would appreciate options for portability, like a strap or lanyard hooks.

I love OtterBox. I have a plethora of devices that need protecting. OtterBox is my choice. Great protection and fair pricing. We love our toys (devices). So protect them with OtterBox.

Otterbox is a must have to protect your devices and it is a must have, especially if you have kids that use your devices, or a clumsy wife or girlfriend who drops her phone all the time

We love otter box when it comes to iPads and phones in our house. Highly recommend, also if your otter box ever gets damaged you get lifetime warranty all you have to do is pay for shipping which is a deal.

Although it’s thick, it protects. Only issue I have with it is the pencil compartment. It’s flimsy.

its good but the cover on the side for the apple pencil broke off almost a month later. for the most part, it protected the ipad and i bring it with me everywhere, but the cover falling off was a problem. i liked the removable cover which is honestly the reason why i bought it. so, unless otterbox updates the design, i would definitely suggest buying at your own risk.

Bought this for what I thought would be long time durability. Within one month of use, a corner had been broken from the stand. Since it was only the stand I did not bother going back to the store for an exchange. Expected more from OtterBox as we have relied on this brand in the past for durability.

Excellent protective case but difficult to install

The OtterBox case is very protective of the I-pad but it is difficult to remove and insert the I-pad in the case. I will have to remove it frequently to mount it on an aircraft yoke mount so it wouldn't be satisfactory for me.

Not a fan. Dislike that there is no protection of the screen and the top cover is awkward - the top portion doesn't work well as a stand, and it (the top cover portion) is difficult to keep up with when using my iPad.
