Posted .Hey, Randy! We apologize for any trouble you've had with the Defender Series Pro case for your iPad Pro 11-inch. We hope that case has been doing its job in keeping your device safe though. We actually designed that shield stand to be used in a way that you can place your iPad in a variety of different positions for handsfree use. We'll provide a link to one of our installation videos for you below to help give you a better visual of those different positions, but please feel free to give our customer service team a ring at 1-855-688-7269 with any other questions or concerns.

Misleading
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Buttons don’t line up properly on all models making it to where my 3rd Gen. power and volume buttons were inoperable. Only buy this product if you have a 4th Gen.

Hard to use
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very hard to snap the cover off. The cover turns into a stand, but there is only one angle and the iPad is not secure when on the stand. Would like it better if it was one piece, easier to open, and had more angles for the stand.

Posted .Hi there! So sorry if the Defender Series Pro case for your iPad Pro 11-inch wasn't quite what you were hoping for. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts on this case with us though. We designed that shield stand to work as a hands-free stand and screen cover and you'll be able to situate your device in that piece in a variety of positions. As far as removing the case goes, you can begin to disassemble the case by peeling back the outer slipcover and then separating the hard inner shell into two pieces. We'll provide a link to one of our installation videos for you below that will walk you through that assembly process, as well as give you some visuals on using the case stand in those different angles. Please don't hesitate to give our customer service team a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions, concerns, or if we can be of any additional help to you.

Posted .Not sure what wires got crossed with your recent purchase of the Defender Series Pro case, but this specific model is only for use with the iPad Pro 11" rather than the iPad (10th Gen) you're looking to cover. We do make our standard Defender Series case for your device, as well as our Symmetry Series Folio and Symmetry Series Elite cases, so those would be the ones to key in on going forward.
We trust that Best Buy will be able to help with a return of the item in question, and definitely give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any product questions and we'll always be happy to talk shop!

Posted .Thanks for the heads-up on the struggles you've had removing your iPad Pro from the Defender Series Pro case.

Posted .You're not wrong to expect the Defender Series Pro case to be in it to win it for the long haul, and we're sorry that yours has fallen on hard times after just two weeks on the job. Hopefully it was at least taking care of business in terms of helping to keep your iPad safe from harm when the damage occurred, but however it went down, we'll be glad to help with a brand-new warranty replacement for a fresh start!
Just ping our handy Otters through the following link or at 1-855-688-7269, and we'll have things all fixed up in no time! https://www.otterbox.com/en-us/warranty-begin

Posted .Hi there! So sorry for any disappointment you've had with the Defender Series Pro case. We appreciate your feedback on the shield stand for this case and we'll be sure to shoot your thoughts up the ladder to our design team for you. You're correct in saying the Defender Series Pro case doesn't feature a built-in screen protector though. However, we ensured this case would be seamlessly compatible with any of our trusty screen protectors, like the Alpha or Amplify Glass. We also have our standard Defender Series case available for your device which does include that built-in screen protector. Please give our Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 and they'd be happy to answer any questions you might have.

Posted .Hi there!
We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with your Defender Series Pro! Rest assured, that case has been through hundreds of hours of design testing to ensure it will keep your phone safe with the drop protection OtterBox is known for. Keep in mind, none of our cases are designed to be waterproof. If you run into any other issues, feel free to call us at 1-855-688-7269, and we can get you taken care of.
