    I will always buy an OtterBox case especially for my iPads. Strong, sturdy reliable and this one comes with a kickstand on the cover AND the case itself, I absolutely love this one, oh and it also comes with a plastic screen protector which I always need on my iPad because I’m always wiping off fingerprints

    This one is much more difficult to use than the one for my mini. The back stand doesn’t stay where I put it. It’s difficult to remove from my iPad. Maybe it’s just me not using it correctly but.. As long as it protects my iPad, that’s the most important thing!

    Though a little pricey, it's definitely worth it because the warranty process is great. Protection is a++++.

    The case is ok but not thrilled about the plastic attached screen protector when we purchased and had a glass one installed. Ended up removing it because I think it was causing glass one to bubble.

    Great case, but the pencil flap needs improvement

    I’ve been supporting this brand for over 12 years because they’re true leaders in protection. However, in recent years, the pencil flap on this model has become a real issue. On this case, the flap broke just one week after I started using it. It’s simply too fragile and needs to be redesigned or reinforced. Aside from that problem, the case itself is very durable and provides excellent protection. Even with this issue, I still trust the brand and hope they improve this weak point in future versions. ✅ Yes, I would recommend the product, but with caution about the flap.

    Kick Stand Broke Quick

    Little pins in back that hold stand on broke off pretty quick, renders that part useless. Unless you don't plan on using the stand I would not recommend. The whole mechanism how it slides in the slot is also pretty annoying to use. Protects pretty good though. Ultimately bought a cheaper one from online store, cheaper and better. Out the 80 bucks I gave for this one.

    Took some figuring out for the case but I love that I don’t need to worry about my iPad being broken or anything of that nature. Only nit picky thing is that the outer case kickstand is clunky.

    This case seems pretty durable but the built in screen protector does not work well. We ripped it out and put on a zagg shield. Also, the kickstand gets stuck really easy and is pretty frustrating. It is overpriced for the problems but I like otterbox durability.
