Plastic screen cover makes it difficult to do touch screen. Lots of hard areas that keep it together.

Hi Strapgitl4,
We are sorry that the Defender case is not quite meeting your expectations. Perhaps you would be more interested in our Symmetry Folio case or Profile case as they are both slimmer than the Defender. Check out the links below for more information on those OtterBox products.
Of course, if you ever have any OtterBox questions please do not hesitate to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269. We are happy to help!
Best, OtterBox Customer Service Team

Hi Guy567,
Yikes, we're sorry that this Defender series isn't getting along super well with your iPad! This is definitely strange, since normally the case fits seamlessly on the device to create the perfect pairing. Please feel welcome to call our investigative Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be happy to further examine this to find a solution going forward!
Cheers, OtterBox Customer Service Team

Amazing Rugged yet light - Used on a Pro!

I just exchanged a pro cover by a similar company to Bestbuy. It was one of only 2-3 I found for the new iPad Pro. It felt like a hard brittle plastic, my husband exchanged one as well with similar complaints. Awkward stands but had the front and back protection. Other box has outdone itself in this. I would have given 5 stars but it was lacking.speaker openings, has 2 tiny circles on the front for an unknown reason? Not present on the iPad Air versions. The thin film over the fingerprint. I'd scan, doesn't concern me, I use.passwords. Another reviewer said it was easy to remove if wanted. It's soft, light and I love the colors and third top that doubles as a versatile stand! Thank you! Works well on the pro. I needed you tube to put it on or remove due to its wonderful fit and construction.

This Case is PERFECT but 1 FLAW
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
While I found this case MUCH better than a folio case, I have to warn you all about the stand. So you can make the internal portion of your case into a stand to sit your iPad on, that's awesome and love that feature without a doubt, BUT the FLAW I found is that while I was trying to put the internal kick stand down, it came out and wasn't connected. I was able to put it back in carefully without breaking or damaging it any further, but be VERY careful when putting down the internal stand, it could BREAK or COME APART from the stand itself.
OVERALL great case, definetly buy and LOOK on Amazon and see if Otterbox has it marked down, I got it for $68 instead of the original $89 or however much it was.

This case lives up to the otter box name I have had one since the iPhone 3GS and they were good then a still good I like it for my iPad because I feel better taking it places and for my nephew if he goes one it it can withstand just about any thing that's why it is one of my favorite cases.

Strong case

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I needed a strong case for taking my ipad when i travel and when you have kids, this is a lifesaver. My kids dropped my ipad several times and my ipad was well protected in the case. One con is this case is really heavy (and thus more durable than other cases) and also it needs a better stand (with multiple angles perhaps?)

We bought this then ended up taking it back. I'm sure if you need extra protection from possible damage in transport or from the elements, this is the product for you. But it's just a bit too bulky for our needs which include nothing more than daily transport to/from work in a cushy, air-conditioned car.

I purchased this along with the iPad Air 2 as a birthday gift for my boyfriend and he loved it! It fit the iPad Air 2 perfectly and makes the iPad bulkier but that doesn't bother us as we are much more at ease knowing the iPad is completely protected.
