I purchased this case on sale and for that it was a great price, I'd have had a hard time spending $90 on it however. Offers great protection and is very rugged. My only problem is with the build in screen protector tends to have glare or cause patterns as it adheres to the glass of the device. Otherwise nice product, case with stand is a nice extra as well.

This case has got to be the best case for protecting your ipad. it is a hard case yet very comfortable in the hands. It is very sleek and thin and does not add so much bulk to the ipad as other cases, however it is still pretty thick compared to other cases but it does offer the protection that no other thinner case does. The only reason why I'm giving this case a 4 is because it adds more weight then I expected to have from my new iPad Air. I have grown used to it however being that I had a ipad 3 before and it is a bit heavier than that. This is a great case, would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for top drop protection.

This is my second otter box. I had one for my previous iPad and must say this product is well worth the money. I dropped my iPad and not even a scratch on it. Honestly one day my iPad fell from the second floor window to the concrete floor and survived with no cracks. Thanks otter box for making an awesome product. I would highly recommend this over any other case. Yes it makes your iPad a bit bulkier, but the protection I received from this case makes it totally worth it.

So Light Weight

I bought an Otterbox for my 4th gen iPad and it made it so heavy. I constantly get wrist fatigue. However, with this one, it's completely different! It is so light weight. It's a huge difference! The pink is a dark pink. It's not fushia or neon pink. It's very pretty trimmed in white. It does leave fingerprints, but it's manageable and it provides great protection.

Purchased this cover to prevent damage to my Ipad during travel. It is great because it will stand the Ipad up or lay at an angle for watching movies or just playing games. It is a little hard to get off once it is on, but it redeems itself when you open up the stand in the cover. I love it but would not recommend for someone with arthritis or difficulty lifting. It is quite heavy.

When you've got a screen that big and for the price we paid for the iPad, you've gotta protect your investment. I've always been happy with Otterboxes and their replacement policies and it was a no brainer to get one for the iPad. It's strong, durable, covers both sides and also acts as an iPad stand so you get more for your money. It's Hardcore and well made. Plus, happy wife, happy life!

I read reviews before purchasing but that's mainly because I do so with every product I buy. Some people said it didn't fit well and some said it was really difficult to put on the tablet. For me, the case fits really well on my Ipad Air - note that this is not for the newer Ipad Air 2. I have an Otterbox case for my iphone too and I love it and it protects my phone really well. Like the iphone Otterbox case, this case for the Ipad has been just as good and easy to put on. I have not dropped my ipad yet but the case seems like it would, without a doubt, protect it. I would highly recommend the case to anyone needing more protection for their own tablet!

After trying multiple cases and protectors for my autistic son's iPad/communication device, the Otterbox has always come through the challenge. The iPads have survived many drops and being stepped on. The cover having the ability to hold the iPad up at a slight angle also helps improve use! Thank you Best Buy for always having what we need!!

I just purchased an iPad and I have used otterbox cases on my phones so it just made sense to get one for my iPad. This case is great, it's sturdy, well built, and the built in screen protector is great. Otterbox makes great products, and for me, it's an absolute must for any tablet or phone.

This is a great product. I do not have any worries that if the device is dropped that this cover will not protect the iPad. Love the built in screen protector and has good display quality no obstructions, so I did not have to purchase additional expensive screen protection. Comes with ipad stand that you can use in different angles. Love this product.....

My daughter loves playing on my iPad but is also pretty good at dropping it as well. At the time I had a cheap cover on my iPad with a shield protector I bought and put on myself. Seeing that she was accidentally dropping my iPad made me extremely nervous and luckily never did any harm. I knew the day was going to come eventually when she would accidentally drop it and break it. I bought this case while it was on sale and just the relief it gave me knowing it was protected so well was better then anything. This case is extremely sturdy, has a nice screen protector, and I don't worry about my iPad getting accidentally broken at all anymore. My daughter dropped my iPad after I put this case on it and I know for a fact if I did not have this case on it the iPads screen would have been completely shattered with extreme damage. I love this case and plan on buying this same case for my iphone as well.

The Otterbox is great for protection especially when letting your children use it. The one thing I don't like is it don't have the automatic shut off when you put the cover on it. You have to make sure you it the top button to turn it off. It also adds a little weight to the IPad Air. Other than that it's and good protector.

I no longer have to worry about dropping or just chucking the iPad on top of my car seat. The case has the extra 'piece' that becomes a stand or protects the front of the iPad when not in use which I thought was well thought out and does become useful at times.

I needed a case for my new iPad and there were very few option out there. I purchased this and it works great. The only issue is that the volume buttons do not line up so you have to press the top volume button to turn it down and open the small flap to turn it up. Other than that it fits like a glove.
These cases are heavy but offer incredible protection. I had my iPad mini in one for about 5 years and have dropped it many times and never had an issue. When I recently took the iPad out of the case after 5 years the iPad looked BRAND NEW, not a scratch, blemish or anything. Great Protection

This is one tough case. Not too bulky or heavy so I doesn't weigh down the iPad and it's great especially when you have a 7 yr old always wanting to play with the device. With the case you don't have to worry about the dings.

This otter box protects my iPad Air and the screen but still makes using the iPad easy and convenient. I love the cover which completely covers the screen and face of the iPad - when I put it in with my luggage I know it is well protected and the screen is safe from impacts!
