    If you are clumsy like me, get an Otter Box to protect your investment. I just got a new iPad and tried a regular folio. It just didn't feel right without an Otter Box. The last one I had was 10 years ago and my old iPad still looks pristine (it just got old). I have every confidence that this new one will perform just as well as the old one. Otter Box is a solid product.

    It’s great besides the fact the Apple Pencil accommodations leave the screen exposed even when the protective cover is on. I’m just using it for class but in the workplace I would consider this a deal breaker. My last iPad otterbox was of higher quality and the kickstand felt more solid.

    Annoying screen protector

    The product was really nice when it came to the case but the plastic screen protector that came on it was really annoying and I had to return it because I couldn’t use the Apple Pencil with it. I wish there was a way to remove it and just keep the case but it isn’t assembled that way.

    Otterbox needs to make changes, this case fails

    I've always loved and trusted Otterbox cases. Only ever used them on my iPhones, this was a first for an iPad. It's been a major disappointment. Needed a slim profile yet protective case for autistic toddler to have her communication apps and other things. The glass is protected from scratches by the screenprotector, but this case has a huge flaw that caused permanent damage to the side of her iPad Air. The long side has a flap that opens to allow a pen to connect to the charging spot and that flap does not stay on AT ALL. It had fallen off and when the iPad fell against a table edge, it now has a perma dent. Also, liquid gets in between the screen protector and glass super easily. If she spills water, juice etc it comes in right at the camera hole cut outs. Very unreliable case. The rubber on the back also bows and changed shape. If these issues were fixed, I otherwise like the case it's slim and her iPad fits in my bag without needing a separate bag for her iPad.
