Great case at first until around 4 months of use; I have an issue with the rubbery part that goes over the hard plastic snap on piece becoming loose and loosing it elasticity over time. Other than that the built in screen protector is prone to tearing and is very easy to scratch so be careful. But exceptionally I think this protective case will protect very well against drops compared to the flimsy one that is made by Apple. Also great limited lifetime warranty on this product if you ever experience any issues they will ship an replacement A.S.A.P

Yes, the case is going to make your ipad feel heavy and thick but thats because is really protected and im fine with that, the tablet is really thin and don't feel safe with it in my hands but with the case I feel much better. The build in screen protector works fine and the apple pencil goes on smoothly with no difference in sensibility. The pencil holder inside the stand is a great idea and the rubber piece you remove to charge the pencil is really good and well made.

Long Term Otterbox Fan

I have been a long term fan of Otterbox for protecting my various Apple products. I got a new iPad Pro, Gen 2, and knew I’d be ordering an OtterBox. This came in the authentic packaging and was shipped quickly. The protection is the best and still makes the iPad easy to use all the features. The included cover/stand works well in both positions. I highly recommend Otterbox for your iPad protection needs.

Another great product to add some protection to the unbreakable screens. Very secure and does add a little extra bulk. The shell case makes a great stand.

THE OTTERBOX DEFENDER SERIES ARE AMAZING AT PROTECTING WHAT EVER THEY ARE INSTALLED. For years I used exclusively the defenders cases on different versions of iPhones andiPads/ Currently I have a defender on my iPhone 12 and two iPad pros. Recently I was getting out of a tall vehicle and dropped my new uPad pro onto the street. It was about a seven foot drop.. One od the end tabs on the defender for chipper on the hard plastic. A few minuted with a fill to smooth down the edges tase the case like new nano the iPad was not damaged at all. Great product over the years. Bravo!

Case is great and does what you would expect for an otter box. Be aware this does have the screen protector built in contrary to what the sales rep said and you do not need to buy a Glass cover

Feel much secure with this case. As usual for otterbox. 2nd gen apple pencil can charge with available side opening. The case cover has a slot to hold apple pencil. Cover also has stand built in to hold the ipad in two positions (fairly straight up and slightly angled from flat position). Only problem I have with it is the screen protector. Dont like the feel of it with apple pencil. Took it off and tried cleaning off the adhesive with acetone but the acetone was too strong for the frame ..it started breaking off.

The OtterBox Defender - a powerhouse of tech protection. It's great. It lets me be a little rough with my iPad Pro without worrying. Has a built-in plastic screen protector. Be careful when installing and make sure no dust or dirt gets inside. Oh, and don't install this thing at home if you have pets that shed. Getting the dog hair off the screen is a huge pain. Getting this case off and on is much more difficult than OtterBoxes of the past.

The defender has always been my favorite case for the iPad (until I tried the magic keyboard)
This is great for protection and having a built in screen protector is sweet. I always recommend otterbox, they have great products and customer service.

I purchased this case after doing some looking around for a good way to protect my investment into a 11" iPad Pro. After debating a few other cases/screen protector combos, I realized I wasn't going to beat the OtterBox defender. My first experience with OtterBox screen protectors was an original iPod touch, and I must say the quality of the newer built screen protectors have advanced leaps and bounds and are absolutely amazing. You barely even notice it is on the device. The case looks quite nice, and the removable cover/back plate/stand grew on me immediately. While it does take a second longer to open than a flip cover, it is easy to move and gives the iPad a nice thickness for carrying. The built in stand functionality is also quite useful in both the inclined and vertical positions

OtterBox is Quality as well as ruggedly protecting my new iPad.
Although I admit that OtterBox Protection cover is not for everybody as it’s quite heavy.
Overall I am really satisfied with the protection.
Kudos to OtterBox..

Bulky and heavy - good protection but takes away from iPads sleek feel. I’m not easy on electronics but I feel that lighter cases get the job done. Although if your sognifigant other throws your device at you m, you’ll want this on it!

This is great but you can’t click the power button. I just use the assisted touch but it would be nice if it was made in a way to let one press the power button when need be. But it protects my iPad so very happy

This case is great, sturdy and protective. Even have an opening to charge your pencil. Is not bulky as others are. Great purchase. It could be better if a belt could be added to be carry around your hand.
