    Had high expectations for this OtterBox. The protection for the tablet itself seems adequate. But the cover /stand broke the first day I had it. I travel a lot and could not make it back to another Best Buy to exchange or get a refund. Complete waste of the $90 that would be better spent on something else

      Hi Hum3198,

      Although the Defender is great protection against drops, scratches and dirt/dust infiltration it is not waterproof. We are sorry about that and we do sincerely hope that your iPad Pro is doing well. If you ever need any assistance with your OtterBox please feel free to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-419-7417.

    Armor for iPad Pro

    Fully assembled in box, so there is some effort needed to take it apart following small and terse printed instructions, and remembering how to snap it all back together around the 12.9" Pro. Some seams and snaps are hard to find, and strong fingernails help . The result is worth the effort - it all fits perfectly and tightly. Functional and stylish in a rugged way. Apple Pencil and touch work with the clear screen protector. Adds carry weight, total close to 4.5 lbs with Pencil snapped into base. I don't worry about carrying it around anymore.

    Just like other OtterBox products, this one is great for protecting a major investment. It does add considerable weight to the iPad Pro, but it is worth it.

    Yes It would be Nice If it where A little bit Cheaper but when it comes to protecting an Expensive Apple Tablet then it is well worth it. I had a customer that dropped his tablet just once and that was the end of a brand new Tablet! So do not make the same mistake over a few dollars and protect your Investment because all it takes is one drop and kiss your Tablet Goodbye

    Great case

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this case because I use my iPad mostly outdoors and it gets bumped around quite a bit. This case does more than the job I bought it for. And as far as Otterbox, I can't say enough. The case got melted and they actually covered it under warranty. And even with the melting the case kept the iPad safe.

    This case worker very well if you are looking to protect your iPad pro. My only complaint about this case is that it is very thick and it and a considerable amount of weight to your tablet. But this is the best case on the market for protection of youR iPad

    my only real dislike is you have to remove the back cover to use the stand. the stand should be on the outside of the case not the inside. i dont think the plastic corner snaps will endure a lot of use

    Ok for iPad Pro

    The otter box for the large iPad Pro is ok. It's rubber on the back is flimsy and pulls away from the plastic case. The hard shell that snaps on the front is kinda difficult when you try and snap it on the back side. I have the otter box for the iPad retina 10" and this isn't a problem. Over all the otter box still protects the iPad Pro well and that it also has a place to snap in your ipen for storage is a plus.
