    Doesn't fit my iPad Pro

    Eventually I figured out that one side was just a stand for the iPad Pro. The other half, though, is too small to fit on my iPad Pro (12,9"). It's got a rigid "lip" that prevents the device from being put in the back. What am I missing?

      So sorry to hear you've had some trouble getting the Defender Series Pro case onto your iPad Pro. Excluding the stand that you've previously removed, were you able to separate the Defender Series Pro case into three other pieces?

      First, you'll want to locate the charging port door on the bottom of your case and gently pull on that until you can see the exterior slipcover pulling away from the case. Once the slipcover is removed, you'll be able to locate the seam on the side of the hard inner-shell. Separate that into two pieces and from there, you'll be able to place your iPad into the back piece and assemble the case around your device.

      If you have any questions or need any additional help, please don't hesitate to give our friendly Otters a ring at 1-855-688-7269 and they'd be happy to assist you in any way they can.

    This is the worst case I’ve ever bought. I can’t believe it’s from otter box. This case doesn’t make sense. I kept it because I didn’t have another option as I didn’t have a case for my iPad. What a horrible investment. I wish I would’ve read the reviews first. Buyer beware

    OtterBox seems okay

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

    Very Sturdy. Need to learn the “trick” to release / separate case (on 4 corners) from iPad when popping iPad on the build-in stand. 2 build-in positions for displaying iPad. Nice. A bit heavy, but may be the case per product design. Have a different protection case (rubberized) for previous iPad that was ~$25 and a lot less heavy. I dropped the previous iPad (with protective case) often and it was well protected. With my new iPad and this OtterBox, I don’t feel as comfortable in letting it dropped. Haven’t drop the new iPad yet, don’t know if the OtterBox is up to the task as my previous combo. Definitely want (and need) a protective case for the new iPad.

    The Best Buy web site states that this product(which I really wanted) is compatible with the 6th generation iPad Pro. It isn’t. I had to return it but will buy one when it actually fits my new iPad Pro 12.9

      So sorry to hear you might have had some fit issues with your Defender Series Pro case. We craft all of our cases on an individual basis to ensure they work seamlessly with your device, so this is definitely a bit odd. Were you able to separate the case before applying it to your device? Is there a chance you received the wrong case for your iPad? Either way, give our friendly Otters a ring at 1-855-688-7269 and they'd be happy to get to the bottom of this and make sure you have the correct case you need.

      That's definitely a peculiar situation, as the Defender Series Pro case for iPad Pro 12.9" would have been packaged with the shield stand that has the stylus holder. Was the item purchased used or as a floor model or something like that? If so, is there an option to return for a refund?

      Feel free to give our friendly Otters a call if we can be of further assistance in your quest for complete coverage of your device and we'll always be happy to help.

      We're sorry to have disappointed you a bit with the Defender Series Pro case for the iPad Pro 12.9" in terms of the lack of an included screen protector. You'd be surprised how many folks actually want direct interaction with their device displays, so we like leaving the option open for individual users.

      If you're interested in adding another layer to the mix, we do make a few different screen protectors that can be paired with the case for additional security, which you can check out on the official OtterBox website. And definitely give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions, and we'll always be happy to talk shop!

      Happy Holiday Season,

If you ever run into any issues with our cases, feel free to call us at 1-855-688-7269, and we can get you taken care of with our awesome warranty.

      It's not like an OtterBox to not fit the device it was designed to cover, so our first guess is that there's some type of mismatch between that and the specific case model. We're sorry your having some struggles, but feel free to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269, and we'll be glad to solve the mystery and help make sure your iPad gets properly covered for maximum protection going forward!
