    I have used a few cover protectors over the years but this has to be the best yet. Initially, it was difficult to figure out how to get it on but once done it fit well, gave different angles for viewing but most of all covered the whole of the iPad. I am positive that my iPad is well protected.

    Didn't want a bulky case for my iPad Air 2. This product is perfect and the snap on screen protector doubles as a 2 way stand.

    One Strong Case

    After receiving an Apple iPAD Air 2 for Christmas I definitely needed a case to protect it. At Best Buy I went to the area that had a large number of different cases for the iPAD. I read everything I could find to determine what would work best for me. I chose the OtterBox Defender Series because it was really strong. I definitely made the right decision. It is an excellent case and does a great job protecting the iPAD. Since I have never had an iPAD before I did not know how to install it. My only complaint was that the directions on how to install it were not clear at all. Fortunately, YouTube has some great videos that made it very easy. If I ever have a need again, I would not hesitate buying the same protective case again.

    Otterbox is all that it's cracked up to be. It gives you protection on both the front and back of the phone. The only drawback is that it adds a little weight to the phone but for the protection it's well worth it.

    I chose this case because its the same type case I have on my phone. Sturdy outside and protective screen cover to keep the screen from getting scratched. The 3 position rack in the case is an added bonus.

    It adds a lot of weight to your iPad Air, but if that's not an issue for you it seems bombproof. I'm very happy with it.

    This is great to protect your iPad especially if you allow smaller children to use it. The screen wipes off easily. The only downside is the bulky case sometime makes it difficult to store in small bags.

    Ultimate Protection for your iPad Air 2

    Otterbox makes industry leading cases for various devices and the Defender Case for the iPad Air 2 proves not the exception. I prefer Lifeproof cases, generally speaking, since they provide the added benefit of waterproof protection and a more streamlined design to Otterbox cases. As an aside, Otterbox and Lifeproof are one and the same company. I give the edge, to the Otterbox Defender case in this instance due to the built in screen protector for the iPad Air 2. Lifeproof only produced their NUUD cases which are intentional without such protection for this product.

    I feel that this case is great protection for my iPad, which is so thin and lightweight. The reviews were correct this case is very sturdy and it is heavy. I guess it depends on what your particular needs are. I don't carry my iPad around and wouldn't enjoy the heavy weight in my purse. All in all l do like the confidence I feel that my iPad is protected I like the grip it has. I like that product is very well made and the fit to the iPad is perfect.

    I own a Griffin Survivor for my iPad 2 that, although an excellent case, is out-performed by the OtterBox Defender. It's in the details--sturdier protection, solid access flaps, multiple stand positions.

    I use otterbox products for all my personal devices. This one also doesn't disappoint. Snug fit, easy to keep clean, light and - most important - piece of mind from the inevitable bumps and drops.

    OtterBox makes the best cases. The fingerprint reader works great with no issues. The case does add some bulk to the iPad but not too much. The stand that comes with it is awesome as well.

    Don't get the Survivor case for your Air-2, its a real piece of junk. I ended up throwing it away & buying the Otterbox Defender, which is perfectly designed for fit, form & function.

    I tried another type of case and it just seemed inefficient. This case utilizes many different positions with the stand. From a typing angle to a screen watching angle. Excellent buy.

    Most people that spend mega bucks on an iPad almost always skip put on a case and if they do get one they get the cheapest, crappiest case they can find. I am a huge believer the Otterbox Defender cases. My iPad has been dropped multiple times where the screen should be cracked or the corner scuffed and dented but with this case it is in mint condition. I've seen people bring their iPad in the store with a cracked screen and I just can't believe that they didn't buy a nice case for it like this one.
