Customers are saying

Customers admire the Defender Pro Series for its excellent protection and ease of use, praising the case's snug fit and high-quality construction. However, some find the case heavy and bulky, and the lack of a screen protector is a common complaint. Other criticisms include the limited adjustability of the stand and the relatively high price point.

      So sorry to hear the Defender Series Pro case for your iPad Air wasn't what you were hoping for. This is our multilayered rugged case for those who want to prioritize protection to their device. If you're looking for something that's a bit thinner but still offers some solid protection to your iPad, we'd recommend checking out our Symmetry Series 360 Elite case. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts on this case with us though. Please feel free to give our customer service team a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any question, concerns, or if we can be of any additional help to you.

      Cheers,
      OtterBox Customer Support OtterBox

    I ordered the wrong case and thought I canceled quickly within a 5-10 minute window and it still made it. Have not been to store to return is it too late? The correct one came later in the weeks and the only reason a one star not my size and canceling should be a more cut and dry process in an allotted time frame.

    I would not recommend this otter box. Each time I attempt to close the top down, it always pops off track. Such a hassle trying to close it and keep the keybord and top together.

    Of all the otter boxes we have owned this was the weakest. The side part with a removable piece ended up cause the outer casing to snap. It lasted 1 month.

    Otter Box flaw

    Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.

    Not the best design for otter box. The side plastic piece keeps popping off and is very flimsy. The rubber seal also starts to peel back from the screen side. I bought the otter box because it’s always been really good. However this iPad is for my son for school work and I feel that it’s just not a good design at all. It is definitely a flaw that should be re-worked. I’ll be getting another iPad soon for our daughter but will not be getting the otter box.

      Hi there!

      We're sorry to hear about any confusion with your recent Defender Series Pro purchase! While the raised edges of that case provide protection to the screen and the shield stand can be used to cover the screen while the iPad is not in use, the case does not have a built-in screen protector. We'll be sure to get your feedback passed up the ladder! If you run into any other issues with your case, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Customer Service Team here: https://www.otterbox.com/en-us/contact-us

    Purchased this cover for my daughter’s new iPad and it has already started to fall apart after only three months of partial use & unfortunately, Otterbox is not the easiest to try and get warranty since you basically have to do it on-line-as of yet, she still hasn’t been able to file a claim. I’ve used Otterbox covers for my iPhones with no issues, but this is certainly not as robust!
