Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the great protection and built-in screen protector offered by the Defender Series Case. Many appreciate the convenient stand and ease of use, although some find the case a bit bulky and heavy. A few customers noted concerns about the case's quality and price point. The power button's accessibility was also mentioned as an area needing improvement.

    Good protector but screen has a gap in between it and the plastic screen. Wish that wasn’t included like the iPhone ones aren’t.

    Very clunky to assemble and Apple Pencil charging was definitely an afterthought. Returned almost immediately.

      Hi there!

      We're sorry to hear about the damage to your Defender Series case! While our cases are tough, they aren't entirely indestructible.

The good news is, we have a great warranty, so we're more than happy to get you taken care of with a replacement OtterBox. Please don't hesitate to reach out to our Customer Service Team here: https://www.otterbox.com/en-us/support

    The OtterBox Defender Series Case for Apple offers robust protection with a rugged design and durable materials. It's perfect for safeguarding your device against drops and scratches, though it adds significant bulk. Overall, it's a reliable choice for those prioritizing durability over sleekness.

    Have had for about 7 months and the plastic backing is cracked. Cannot get ahold of the manufacturer to make a warranty claim because they have shut down their phone lines due to "Covid" Their website says you are able to make a warranty claim online but the warranty page does not work when you try to "submit". Laying the Ipad down to use the stand works but the angle of view is not something anyone wants to use for a long period of time.
