    Heard great things about otter box and thought this was going to be a no brainier. This box is horrible. Yes it will prevent your iPad from breaking but it's too bulky and pretty much falls every time I try to use the kick stand. Don't buy

    Ok, I admit it's hard to resist something named after a cute, fuzzy animal! However, this thing is really well made and tough. It also looks really nice (and doesn't shed!!)

    Yes, this Otterbox provides above average protection for my mini iPad. But....I wish the cover was attached by some sort of hinge, versus being a completely separate piece. That would make it much easier to go from being completely closed to open. Overall, good value for the money.

      Hi Marlin,

      We’re glad that the Defender is taking care of your iPad mini. We really appreciate your feedback! You may be interested in our Symmetry Series Folio Case. It has a folio that covers the iPad screen when you’re not using it but then folds back when you are interacting with the device. Check out the link below for more information on that case. If you have any questions please feel free to contact our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269.

    Bought this for my 10-year-old's iPad Mini 3 (she's hard on tablets). It has been well worth the money, surviving multiple drops without any ill effects on the iPad Mini.

    My desk sits on a tile floor and I recently knocked my ipad off the desk and shattered the screen. I decided to buy the Otterbox Defender to protect it because I have an Otterbox Defender on my phone and have dropped my phone in the parking lot more than once... and the phone has never been damaged. An ipad is a big investment and I want the best protection possible for it.

    A bit of a challenge to take apart but the protection is second to none. I will tell you that it is a bit pricey and heavy. Only reason it gets four stars... Well worth the protective armor as far as I am concerned!!

    I purchased the Otterbox because I allow my 3 year old grandson to use my iPad. The Otterbox is very durable. He has dropped my iPad several times and it still in tact. I am glad that I purchased this from Best Buy. I ordered it online and a few minutes later I received an email stating my order was ready for pickup. It was a quick purchase online and a quick pickup.
