waste of money
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.not a good case. The side holder for the Apple pencil is hard flimsy plastic that falls off easy exposing the side. The older version had this but was made by rubber and stayed in place protecting the IPAD. There is no screen protection so you have to spend even more money unless you want to risk your screen getting scratched. for the sides not made of plastic it's a good case. Get the older version if possible.

Otter Box Isn’t get.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This case isn’t worth the money in my opinion and I normally like Otter Box brand. The spot that holds the Stylus broke off easily.

Still Trying to get it on
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I tried on numerous occasions to try to get the thing on. I've tried numerous times. I guess I'll take it to BestBuy, but they said it would cost $15 to install it. I don't think it should be that difficult. I had another one - to be fair BB installed it, for free, Also, the new ones no longer have protection on the front

Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Case is similar to my old one for my iPad 7Gen but it didn’t come with screen protection and concerns me alittle also doesn’t fit into the stand like the other one. I’ve used otter box literally my whole life when it came to protecting my devices but seams like it’s starting to decline

Posted .We're sorry to hear you've had such a lackluster experience with the Defender Series Pro case in terms of the struggles with its outer slipcover and shield/stand.

Just give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 and we'll be glad to help get one in the works!

Otterbox not the same on the Case
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Otterbox case use to be very good opening and closing the outer cover. With the new design is difficult to open once closed. The Apple pencil feels loose inside the case and ofter falls out of the bracket on the inner case.

Bad Experience
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For $90, the absence of installation instructions is unacceptable. This is a case for an Apple product and Apple buyers are used to a premium experience--at the very least, a QR code that takes me to a Youtube video! I only bought this because the best case company (Rokform) doesn't make iPad cases and will surely be my last Otterbox purchase. After about 20 minutes of searching online, I was able to glean OB's design philosophy and figure things out for myself (this is a new model and there are no videos yet, evidently), however the "case" creaks and pops as I hold the iPad, so it's probably not attached correctly. This could prove to be a VERY expensive experiment...

Not recommended.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It seems sturdy, but taking the cover off is so difficult I rarely use it. Only for storage. Also the stand is not practical for holding the tablet up for reading. It only has one setting and it’s quite low. If I’d known that I would not have bought it. I’m only keeping it because of the inconvenience of returning it. Definitely not recommended.

Posted .We're so sorry to hear you've had a less than positive experience with your Defender Series Pro case. The shield should work as a hands-free multi-position stand for comfortable viewing and use. The piece within the shield can be adjusted to prop your device up into the angle you prefer. We'll link an installation video for you below to help get that case on and off your device and also to give you a visual for the different positions you can rest your device in the shield stand. Please don't hesitate to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions or if you need any assistance troubleshooting this product.

Just don’t.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Clunky and unbalanced. The sales associate recommended this because it would stand up and protect my iPad. Not only was difficult to apply, it lacked the protective screen shown in the video. Worse, it could not secure the iPad in an upright position. I expected better from this brand.

Posted .We're sorry to hear that our Defender Series Pro has left you feeling frustrated. Our engineers removed the built-in screen protector from our Defender Series case to ensure complete functionality with the newest devices. The Defender Series case was redesigned in order to provide the same drop protection even without the built-in screen protector. The addition of the Alpha Glass/Amplify/Alpha Flex provides your phone with premium protection and outperforms our previous Defender Series designs.
In regards to the case not working as it should, this sounds like a replacement may help sort things out. Just give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 and we would be happy to help.
Cheers,
OtterBox Customer Service
