    Great protection for the iPad mini

    As it turns out, this is my second Otterbox for this iPad mini. I use my iPad for personal and business, so it's with me most of the time. I've dropped it onto a parking lot from about 3 to 4 foot up with no damage to the iPad. Although I rarely use the snap on cover -stand, I need something that provides exceptional protection because my iPad is in constant use and occasionally dropped or knocked off a table height surface. The outer rubber skin had become baggy on the first one and was beginning to look tacky in less than a year but Best Buy replaced it at no charge. I couldn't be more pleased with their customer service. If you are looking for a slim case that provides great protection for your iPad mini, I highly recommend the Otterbox Defender.

    Great product. Bought it to protect my child's ipad mini. Product fits like a glove. Impressed with the quality of otterbox. At first I was unsure of spending that much for a case. However, best buy employee matched an online price so I got it much cheape. Even at full price, this product is worth it. I would definitely buy this for any future devices.

    We put this on our new iPad Mini. My husband and I have a 2 year old, so we didn't want the iPad to get destroyed. The OtterBox is very durable. The first night we had it, my daughter tossed the iPad with otterbox off the couch! No damage done. It was slightly confusing on how to put it together.

    I use Otterboxes for most of my Apple products, including my new iPad mini. I specifically got it because this iPad will be carried by my kids to and from school for projects, and I wanted something to protect the iPad investment, which it does well. I like the little kickstand on it, too, it's more functional than I thought it would be.

    Great case to protect your Ipad

    This is the best case that I bought for my Ipad. Very sturdy, even if you drop your device on a concrete floor, your Ipad will not be damaged. I wasted my money by buying cheaper cases, which I had to give away since it was not doing its job of protecting my tablet. The main drawback of this case, is that it is extremely hard to take it off.

    I love this case. Was looking for something to protect mini iPad. I wanted to be able to just put it in my purse and not worry about something happening to it. This case has been great. I only wish it had a cover over the camera lens like the survivor case has.

    This is an excellent purchase for the IPAD Mini. I have these being used by over 120 students. The Otterbox has protected the screen from being scratched and so far the times it has been dropped as well.

    I brought this so my iPad mini would be safe for my 3 year old to play on it as well as so I could take it on the go. It protects it great and the touch screen even with the protection works just fine. DEFF will get one for our other iPad.

    This case is well designed for functionality. The material is strong and will protect your electronic investment. I also enjoy the fact to use the case cover as a stand that holds the iPad in multiple positions for reading. The OtterBox has a great reputation for good reasons and recommend this product.

    We bought this case for my son's iPad mini because we wanted to make sure his ipad was well protected. OtterBox cases have always been very durable and offer great protection. I would recommend this case for children and adults alike.
