Unrivaled protection for the new iPad Pro
Just upgraded an old iPad Air to the Pro 11. The old one was in a Defender case since day one. Perfect condition, not a mark on it. It was used in a pretty rough garage environment for much of its life. You’d never know though.
Using the new Pro without a defender on it is a bit unnerving. So used to the case, I’m afraid of dropping it or scratching the screen! Or...

Difficult to install
Pretty good for protection but difficult to install. No installation instructions are included. The YouTube videos are not helpful, they seem to be for a different product. As a result, it took longer to install than was necessary. However, all is well that ends well. We got it installed without breaking anything.

Offers great protection
I’ve owned the defender series before so it was no decision on what to purchase. Very heavy duty and offers great protection for my iPad Air

3 Broken IPad Screens
I am a coach and have been using iPads and lifeproof cases for years with no issue. Lately we purchased 2 new iPad Air 4th gen and I wanted to get good protection for them since we are outside and around sand. I’ve had iPad screens break 3 times. Initially after the first one I thought it was our own fault even though we weren’t sure how as we haven’t used it yet, just ...

Too bulky
This was purchased for my sons iPad Air and it was way too complicated and did not like the plastic cover over the screen, although it would be ultimate protection. It was just too bulky for our needs

Ipad otterbox cover 5th & 4th
Easy to install. Protects my pencil. Can work on ipad without fingerprints on it. The cover is what i was wanting also, to put in backpack. Do use tilt. And, pencil cover i just took off.

Durable case but ?
I like the OtterBox Defender cases… been using nothing but them on my phones
For years. They have saved my electronics many times. They make you feel safer.
But the Apple Pencil Door on this model is flimsy. Falls off easily. Not ready to be sold.
Still a nice durable case but that one feature with the pencil storage ruins, the product review. It would’ve been much bet...

Useful
It’s an otter ox. It’s heavy but appears durable. For my last iPad, which I used heavily in commercial kitchens, I replaced the case twice in about 10 years, and have yet to have any issues with the pad,
I do think the case is heavier than the iPad is these days.
Recommend for heavy use in hostile environments.

On/Off Top Button Stuck
When the case is put on, it pushes and holds down that top bottom. I used a pocket knife to shave that off and now it works alright. But annoying to do that to a new product.

Great product.
Great product. But assembly instructions are lacking. Even the video is short and too fast moving. It took my feeble mind a while to figure it out.

Love otterbox
My husband and I have always used Otterbox cases for all our devices so naturally when we got an iPad Air it was getting an Otterbox case. Long story short, the case got lost in the mail and usps couldn’t do anything to help me find my package. I contacted Otterbox and without hesitation, they sent another case in the mail. Customer service was very friendly and the cas...

Minor problems but good overall.
Only 2 complaints. 1-the support to hold iPad up leaves it either down too low or to upright for comfortable reading. I’ve went to using my iPhone to brace it at a comfortable level but this ties up y phone. 2- the flap over the charging input makes it hard to plug in and out. Other than that I’m happy with the case.

A Solid Choice - Could Use Improvement
I certainly feel my iPad Air is securely protected in the Defender Case. The built-in screen protection is an added plus and does not interfere with haptic input. The disassembly of the Defender Case is a little tricky. I had to contact Customer Service for assistance. They were great!
I wish the Case offered incremental angle adjustment for viewing. I would prefer so...
