    Use Otter box for my phones and that's why I got one for my I Pad. I tend to bump things.

    Don't buy for iPad Mini 4. It didn't fit. Why does Best buy require 50 characters for reviews when all you need is a sentence. Seriously?

      Hey rondechek,

      Thank you so much for your feedback! We sincerely apologize about any confusion surrounding our iPad mini Defender series case. Unfortunately, the standard iPad mini case is only compatible with the iPad mini 1/2/3. Apple went through a pretty different design change for the fourth generation, so we engineered an entirely new case for it. Please feel free to check out the Defender case specific for the iPad mini 4 by following the link below, and call our helpful Otters at 1-855-688-7269 for any further assistance!

    It was very difficult to open and put the IPad in, also the volume buttons would not change the volume, to stiff to push in, making it difficult

      Hey there Blumoon,

      Our apologies that this Defender series seemed a little larger than life! The extra bulk on the case does add a few extra protective layers, but we certainly understand your decision to forego the product based on preferences. The good news is that OtterBox does carry a few slimmer case styles for this device that might be more up your alley! If you'd like to explore some options, please feel welcome to call our Otter experts at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be glad to further assist!

      Sincerely,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team otterbox

      Hi Suzie,

      We are truly sorry that the screen cracked on your son's iPad Mini. We realize just how frustrating a damaged device can be and completely understand your disappointment. Protecting your iPad is our highest purpose, and although we put extensive resources toward this end, we are unable to guarantee an incident-free outcome in every situation.

      Your son's iPad Mini is beyond the limitations of our warranty, however, we would very much like to offer you a new OtterBox case since his may have been compromised in the incident as well. Please feel free to reach out to our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and we can set this up for you.

      Sincerely,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team otterbox

      Hey Skuba0420,

      We apologize that the Defender series seems to be a little too bulky for your comfort level! While the extra layers add a lot in terms of additional protection, we certainly understand that this can make the case seem a little larger than normal. We do carry two slimmer designs for this specific device, and if you're interested in learning more, please feel free to call our Otter experts at 1-855-688-7269. They'll help you find the case of your dreams!

      Sincerely,

      Hey JerryPop,

      We're sorry to see that you're feeling so apprehensive towards the price point of the Defender series! Although we certainly appreciate your concerns, we do feel that the cost of the unit is worth the maximum protection, outstanding customer service, and limited lifetime warranty that accompany all of our products. If you have any further questions or comments, please don't hesitate to call our playful Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll dive right in to help!

    Needed a case that was easy/convenient to go on/off for use in an aircraft. Looks like it could survive a nuclear attack. But didn't meet my needs
