The Otter box for our tablets has been a god send! We utilize our tablets in our restaurants and on any given day we have 10+ people handling the tablets so this gives us peace of mind that we will be protected always and not have to worry nearly as much about careless handling from the staff!

Excellent fit and finish. Works great for storage and safety. Have already dropped it a few times and the iPad has be preserved and no problems. These are a great option to protect your iPad. The added stand option makes it easy to multitask and gives you 2 very usable positions for your iPad. I've ordered 2, will probably order another 2 for additional iPads.

OtterBox for iPad

OtterBox is a quality product that provides protection for an iPad. This unit came without a screen protector and doesn't work well at providing a hands free viewing stand. It is somewhat bulky and relatively expensive.

Brand response from OtterBox Customer Support
Posted .
Hi there!
We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with that new Defender Series screenless design. After exhaustive design testing, our engineers determined that the best way to interact with the advanced screen of your display was without the addition of a built-in screen protector. That being said, our tests have shown that this case provides the same level of drop protection as past Defender Series cases. hen it comes to the kickstand feature on the holster, If you look at the part that actually clips onto your belt, you should see a small lip on the spring-end near the hinge. If you press down there, it should lock out the clip into a stand! If that doesn't help, give us a ring at 1-855-688-7269, and we can get you taken care of.
Best, OtterBox Customer Service Team

Do you need a screen protector or not?

This unit is great for overall fall protection of the iPad especially as related to corners. It is an Otterbox which designs these specifically for that protection. What is not included, which is not really pointed out, is box does not have the built in screen protector or the insert. You can purchase those separately but if you are concerned about object scratching the screen surface when the protective cover plate is removed then make sure you get the proper protective film or sheet.

We needed a case for our 4 year old for our trip out of town. Of course, I waited WAY WAY too long to get this done. Luckily last minute I was able to swing by my local Best Buy and got hooked up! Otterbox is the same as it's always been. Durable and reliable. Can't ask for more!

Best protection last forever. Bought this for my new iPad that is replacing a ten year old iPad that has the same otter box. Due to arthritic hands I need the most protection from falls. My last otter box did that for ten years so I am hoping this one does the same.
Yes it is more bulky and not as attractive as other covers but that is a sacrifice I make to keep my iPad protected. I do wish they would make it in more colors though.

OtterBox - Best Bang for the Buck

Great protective cover for everyday use. The extra hard cover helps when traveling but can make it a little bulky for everyday use. Overall a great case that you can rely on to protect your investment. To be clear, a screen protector will still be needed but I much prefer this to the old plastic covers the otterbox cases used to have.

I got this protecter for my uncle’s iPad. He loves it a lot, including the simply style, and how he can prop up the iPad to do even more activities like gaming. Very useful for sure. Does not break easily if dropped.

Very sturdy. Was not sure if i wold like it at first because you have to snap the cover on and off but once i got used to it, it is great. It was hard to get on and the instructions were minimal so i had go to internet to figure out how to get it on. But it is great protection

Otterbox America Greed

I’ll review now and again I’ll update after several months for the rubber and how well it holds shape. It’s really nice case. What’s disappointing is that this is a prime example of American companies with overpriced products cheating our citizens. Of course I have a choice to choose what I but but this is pure American greed from otterbox on overpriced items. This is why fakes exist for 1/5 the price and near exact quality.

This item is very good with one exception; over time the material starts to weaken and fall apart. I bought this iPad protector 5 years ago and it did a great job. The edges began to chip and ultimately needed to be replaced. But outside of that I was very pleased with this iPad protector.

where the rubber meets the road

My son has had an ipad since he's been 3, with ASD, and the otter box has outlasted the ipads, he even left it overnight in the rain, because he tossed it over the fence and we didn't know it. His ipad stayed dry. I'm just now replacing the otter box because the rubber has met the road. My son turns 12 in March, you do the math. lol

Otterbox gives great protection. My only reason for giving 4 stars is due to no instructions how to put the case on the iPad. I found a video on YouTube. I almost returned it out of frustration trying to figure it out. I’m glad I found the video because it is a great case.

This is a must for all iPad users. Even the most cautious individuals are prone to a “whoops” from time to time. I know it sort of defeats the purpose of a colored electronic, so you need to ask yourself, “do I want my iPad to look pretty or not break?”. My kiddos decorated this case anyway, so win win.

OtterBox always delivers with cases that provide all around protection for the iPad. My suggestion for improvement would be a kickstand that can raise the angle to 60 degrees.
