OtterBox protection for mini iPad
Defender series case for the iPad mini fifth generation is as good as it gets for bulletproof protection! Also has nice accessory stand as part of the cover. Brilliant.🤩🫶🏻 Who

Otter Box Greatness
This mini ipad case is perfect for what I was looking for. It is very durable and will definitely protect my iPad from any damage if accidentally dropped. It is very easy to use, and has a very sleek and comfortable feel. I am very satisfied with this purchase.

It’s the maxi pad for your mini device.
Your device receives the maximum protection via plastic frame and rubber gasket. Gives a great bounce for those with nonsticky fingers.

Not the Correct Size for Older Tablet
I got this for my husband. He has an older ipad mini 2 and it's not the right size. It's made for a newer version of his tablet. Otter boxes are good though. Unfortunately I had to return it.

minor quibble
my unit did not seem to come with instructions so I had to consult YouTube. Well initially frustrated with getting it on my iPad, it suddenly sort of popped on and now I feel I can take my mini anywhere, so yes, I would recommend it

Pencil holder
You need to somehow engineer the new case for mini iPad 6 able to use the power up features for the Apple Pencil and easy to use. That would ultimately make the product 5-star plus.

By far the most indestructible case I’ve owned!
I bought my otterbox after I had to replace my IPad mini because it dropped and my glass shattered. The new Defender case has it’s own clear shield built in for protecting the glass. The shell is made out of sturdy black plastic and virtually indestructible!

Love otter box
If there was rubber gaskets around the camera and holes I’d give it a 5 but at least once a week I have take my case off and clean the screen. Other than that otter box is perfect

Fantastic protection
I bought this because my old case let my iPad shatter completely. Not a piece bigger than 1/2”. I feel very comfortable with this case. The system for reading in a horizontal position is good but not great. The only complaint I had was their instructions for equipping it for the first time are very bad. Basically they direct you to a utube video that does not allow you ...

Instructions?
I really like the Otter Box, however there should be instructions that explain how to take it apart and then reassemble. I should not have had to go to utube to find out.

Great Product!
The cover does a great job of protecting and doesn't affect sound or connectivity. The storage features do a great job of protecting the screen.

It’s good for a clumsy girl like me
I bought this a while ago and my son has already dropped it twice (facepalm) So far, it looks pretty good. The only thing I wish it came in other colors. My whole family has an iPad same case so it’s pretty annoying everyone has black a least I know it’s mine cause it’s a mini mini
