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.

    Not water resistant: somewhat rugged but heavy

    TLDR: Very rugged, not water resistant, flimsy side panel for Apple Pencil. Only recommend heavily discounted. Not water resistant (as I had hoped), something especially important if you're using your iPad in the field as a rugged laptop/ tablet (as I like to). Door on the side of the case for the Apple Pencil is very flimsy and falls off to the point that its better to just keep it off. (I use the gen 2 Logitech crayon for battery durability so there's no place to put it anyway). The original design of the product clearly wasn't intended for the new generation of iPads and needs a total refresh. Rubber protection will definitely defend it from drops and is very rugged in that sense. However it makes the case incredibly heavy, which is a tradeoff to consider for backpacking.

      Hello! We are so glad you are enjoying the protective nature of the case. The Defender Pro Series case, though very protective and ruggedly durable, is not designed to be waterproof. Should you experience an issue with the side of the case near the area for the Apple Pencil while in the field, please know we have an amazing warranty and are happy to assist. OtterBox

    Great concept, horrible implementation!

    This has to be one of the dumbest cases ever. Instructions are in 1-point font, completely illegible. I had to watch a YouTube Video on how to do it. There is no screen protector but a giant cover that you need to remove and snap onto when it opens; got a stand.

    Otterbox fail

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Otterbox for ipad air is very secure. However, it only supports one viewing angle in either portrait or landscape mode. The viewing angle is nearly straight up (90 deg) and is too steep for comfortable viewing. This is a deal breaker!
