    Pretty durable but it is not water resistant at all. Top of the screen shield has two little holes in the conners so when any liquid falls on the shield screen it has no where to go but into the holes wetting the iPad

      Hi Basil,

      Thanks for your feedback! We are sorry for any misunderstanding about the Defender case. Although it is great protection against bumps, drops and scratches it is not waterproof. If you ever have any OtterBox questions please feel free to give our helpful Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269.

      Best,

      Dear Joan,

      We apologize about any confusion surrounding the iPad Pro 9.7" Defender series! We definitely understand that storage for the Apple Pencil is essential, which is why we included a slot to stow it on the Defender shield stand. If you have any questions on this, please don't hesitate to call our Otter experts at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be glad to further assist you!

      If you're still looking for something a little sleeker to protect your iPad, we might suggest taking a look at the Statement series. Made with premium leather, the Statement is both slim and stylish. Feel free to check it out via the link below!

      Hey Steve78,

      We apologize that this Defender case is having trouble finding the perfect fit! This is certainly bizarre, since as long as you definitely have the iPad Pro (9.7-inch), the unit should match seamlessly with the device. We'd love to take a closer look to make sure you have the perfect case for that iPad, so please feel welcome to call our Otter detectives at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll start up an investigation!

      Sincerely,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team otterbox

      Hi Doug!

      Yikes, we apologize that the corner on your Defender snapped so quickly! The good news is that our warranty is actually a limited lifetime warranty, so provided that we still have the product in stock, we should still be able to replace it for you! Please don't hesitate to call our helpful Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll happily process a warranty claim. We'll have a new case on your iPad before you know it!

      Cheers,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team otterbox

      Dear Susieq,

      We dearly apologize that this Defender series was just a little too sleek for your comfort level! While the extra layers on the case add a lot in terms of increased padding, we certainly understand that sometimes, this can make the unit feel heavy. The good news is that we do offer a few case styles that are slimmer in nature but still offer excellent protection. Please feel free to call our Otter experts at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be happy to help you explore your options going forward!

      Warmly,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team otterbox
