    I have always purchased Otterbox for all of our electronics Very disappointed they no longer have the screen protector with the case, had to purchase a separate screen protector so the screen is protected.

      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. If you end up running into any issues with your case, we have a great warranty, so we're more than happy to get you taken care of with a replacement OtterBox. Simply reach out to our Customer Service Team here: https://www.otterbox.com/en-us/contact-us

      Great to know everything is going well with the Defender Pro Series Case, though we thought we'd check in just to be sure since the two stars you gave are actually the second-lowest rating. If you have any questions or concerns, just give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 and we'll always be happy to help!

      Happy Holidays!

      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 used to come with a built in screen protector that made this case a sealed unit. They now no longer include it. Nowhere does any of the literature or box mention that it no longer has a built in screen protector. This is important for my use. Very disappointed. Will not buy again.

      We're guessing that this review was to have landed on the product page for the iPad rather than an OtterBox case, as our stuff definitely wasn't designed to provide internet coverage. We trust that Best Buy will be able to help get this straightened out for you so you can reach the people who would most benefit from it, and if we can ever be of any Otter assistance, just give us a ring at 1-855-688-7269 and we'll always be happy to help!

      Hey Alex,

      We're sorry for any disappointment this change has caused. We've removed the built-in screen protector based on consumer feedback aimed at a more direct experience between the user and device. If you're looking for a premium protective experience, you can also pair the Defender Series Pro case with our Amplify screen protector. Feel free to contact us at 1-855-688-7269 with any further questions or comments and we'd be happy to help.

      Cheers,
