My go to for protection of anytime I purchase a new iPad. The only draw is this didn’t come with a protective screen.
They make a solid product and will always marry my iPads to their product.

Excellent amount of protection. I combined mine with a screen protector as this Otterbox did not come with one. I feel very confident that this case will make my iPad be able to take a good amount of abuse.

Purchased these for our field crews. Those guys can be hard on their iPads. These cases have a great track record of protection against a fall.

There is a lot of problems with this case. A lot of loose parts. The rubber part in the back won’t stay down. It’s lifted so every time I’m holding the iPad it rubber around the circle is just up. I loved iPad otter box cases in the past but they definitely did something wrong with this one. The flap to the pencil is also just super flimsy. It doesn’t have a tight closure. Yea otter box sorry but this is definitely a no for me.

This is the only great functional case for kids that does not have a gimmicky case feature that makes using the iPad in portrait mode very difficult. The only issue I have is that the pencil part of the case comes off somewhat easily.
