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.

Item appears to uphold the Otterbox reputation. I am disappointed by the lack of the touch screen protection included in earlier models.

Wow, this is not what I expected from Otterbox. This is a design mess. Won’t stay in place. Won’t hold the Apple Pencil. I’m returning info as soon as I can.

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.

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.
