Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the Defender Series Case's protective qualities and how well it fits their iPad Pro. Many appreciate the included screen protector and the convenient Apple Pencil storage and charging capabilities. However, some find the case to be heavy and expensive, and the stand functionality is a point of contention for several users. The bulkiness of the case is also mentioned as a drawback by some customers.

    Good Durability That I Have Come to Expect

    The rubber casing is what I would come to expect from OtterBox. The hard plastic case for protecting the screen is a nice perk, but I would not use it on the back of the rubber casing if you need easy access to the power port and pencil docking area. Finally, one must take care when fitting the rubber casing to the iPad. If not fit properly, then the gasket can start to come off of the iPad.

    You can't beat this for protection - it has excellent build. But the glare from the attached screen was problematic for me and I ended up returning it. But if glare/reflection isn't an issue in your usage, this is the protective case for you.

    My iPad broke in the case from my 3 year old. When i got it replaced I knew I needed a case that could withstand her. This case has done that and much more! I also love that my Apple Pencil has a slot inside to keep things organized and together

    Well it definitely fits snug but it’s hard to take off when you need. The screen saver bent and made a crease all the way across. So I don’t think it will last that long after removing a few times. Once it’s on just leave it on!

    Great case, not a huge fan of the flap that opens to charge the Apple Pencil. It seems like you are peeling away the outer case instead of opening a flap like the charging port. Also super disappointed no hand strap is available for 3rd gen iPad pro’s.
