Customers are saying

Customers recognize the Defender Pro Series case offers excellent protection and a snug fit for iPads, with many praising its ease of use and integrated stand. However, some customers find the case expensive and bulky, and note the lack of a screen protector. The weight of the case is also a point of contention for some users.

    Total garbage. DOES NOT HAVE A SCREEN PROTECTOR as indicated here. Loose rubber seat pops off the IPAD when you try to put the cover over it. Yes, I watched a couple of YT videos about how to install it, I did it correctly. Never had probs like this with Otter before. Worst design ever. This is going back to Best Buy today. Wondering why all the good reviews?

      Hey there! We're very sorry to hear the Defender Series Pro case for your iPad (9th, 8th, or 7th gen) wasn't what you were hoping for. You're correct in saying this case doesn't include a built-in screen protector though. If that feature is important to you, we'd recommend checking out our standard Defender Series case.

      We specifically designed this case to work seamlessly with your exact device, so any fit issues are definitely unexpected. It sounds like you've already made the choice to move on from this case, but we'd still like to dig a bit deeper into things in order to better understand what's going on here. If you could please give our customer service team a call at 1-855-688-7269, they'd be more than happy to help find the best path forward for you.

      Warm Regards,
      OtterBox Customer Support OtterBox

      Hello! We apologize for any confusion! For iPad devices, the Defender Series case features a built-in screen protector and the Defender Pro Series case does not feature a built-in screen protector, allowing it to pair perfectly with any of our screen protection options available for the device. Please reach out to our CS Team by phone or via chat, should further questions arise, and we are happy to help! OtterBox

    This OtterBox isn’t what I expected. All of the OtterBox cases I bought in the past came with a built in screen protector. Also the back came with a external stand back of the case. This one case needs to be removed to use the prop stand I returned it to the Best Buy I bought it from received a refund. Best Buy was very helpful and understanding. OtterBox in my opinion shouldn’t have changed the design of their product. They used to have the best protective cases made.

      Hi there!

      We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with your Defender Series Pro! Keep in mind, our engineers designed this case to be compatible with OtterBox screen protection options. If you prefer a case with a built-in screen protection option, we'd suggest taking a look at our standard Defender Series case. Give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 if you have any questions.

    We returned this. There is no built in screen protection. Im usually a fan of Otterbox and have owned several of their products, but this one seemed cheap and nowhere near worth $90.

      Hi there!

      We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with that 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. If you do run into any issues with your OtterBox, please don't hesitate to reach out to our helpful Customer Service Team at 1-855-688-7269, and we can get you helped out.

    This item did not have the clear cover to protect the iPad screen. The company cost saved the case. If you want your screen cracked than purchase this item. Would not recommend
