Customers are saying

Customers highly value the excellent protection and snug fit offered by the Defender Pro Series Case. Many appreciate the case's ease of use and installation, but some are disappointed by the lack of a built-in screen protector and the somewhat problematic stand. Concerns have also been raised regarding the case's overall quality and the Apple Pencil holder's functionality. A few customers expressed dissatisfaction with certain aspects of the case's design.

    I really like the rugged design. I feel better knowing that if it drops to the floor my mini i pad will have a better chance of surviving! The only drawback is the charging port access is a little bit tight when trying to charge. Otherwise I feel it was worth the money.

    This OtterBox DOES NOT HAVE APPLE PENCIL STORAGE. There is a piece of the case that opens and comes off for the Apple Pencil to be used. I have a hard time holding while trying not to knock off my Apple Pencil.

      Hello! We apologize that this case did not have the Apple Pencil storage you were hoping for. The Defender Pro Series is amazing for rugged protection of your device, but we do offer other case options that are designed differently, some of which incorporate Apple Pencil storage. Please give our CS Team a call at 1-855-688-7269 if we may help with anything or answer any further questions! OtterBox

    Really like this case. It is extremely protective without being too instrusive. My only complaint is that i thought a screen protector was included like our other otter box products

    Case does its job, but the plastic cover for the pencil broke fast. This product is defiinitely overpriced. If you truly want it, it is better to wait for a discounted price.

    Great case for my 7 year old who is pretty rough with things. He's careful with his ipad but accidents do happen and I feel this otterbox protected his device. I'd purchase it again.

    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.

    As an OtterBox product, I expect the OtterBox outlived the product. Didn't happen in this case. The way they designed the door for the magnet for the pencil was horrible and that's what ended up breaking and unraveling the whole thing. Get a cheaper case. It will be more reliable.

    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.
