Very disappointed!
I use my iPad on the job site to take progress pictures. I carry it with a lanyard, and you have to take it out of the case , off the lanyard to take photos. There is no camera port on the hard case..

Hello! The case has lanyard capabilities, but it is necessary to remove the shield stand portion of the case when taking photos. Please reach out to our CS Team by phone or via chat with any questions or issues we can help troubleshoot!

Great case but…
Great case but stand is an entire struggle to use. Gets stuck on the back plastic. I don’t really use it because it gets stuck.

Otterbox sucks now.
Otterbox is no longer good. Case is cheap feeling. The stand is flimsy and enraging to use. It's just bad all the way around. I miss the old cases that had a built in screen protector. I'm done buying Otterboxes. And now the return/refund process is taking like a month to be processed. What a joke this company has become.

Disappointed
I was disappointed in the case. It is heavier than I expected and the back covers the camera lens. I expected better from Otterbox.

Bad design
No, the stand on this Otterbox is almost Impossible to use. You missed the mark in trying to make it so you didn’t have to remove the back to stand it up. It’s so hard to manipulate the stand, it’s still easier to take the back off. Next time I buy a new iPad, I’ll looked for an alternative

Disappointed
Been using otter box for many years for myself and wife’s phones and IPad. Recently bought her a new iPhone 15 and 10 gen IPad. Of course I ordered otter boxes for both and was really disappointed in the change in the products. No more screen protector. Now sold separately.

Hi Benny! Hello! We apologize for any confusion. The Defender Series Pro case for the iPad 10th gen is screenless by design to allow it to pair perfectly with any of our screen protection options for the device. However, we also offer the Defender Series Case that comes with a built in screen protector. If our Customer Service Team may assist with any questions, please give us call at 1-855-688-7269 and we are happy to help.

Stand broke
Fold out stand is very stubborn. It broke in days. I expected better from otterbox. Especially for the money I paid.

No camera hole!
I have always put otter box cases on my devices, I have to say very disappointed in this case. It it is not well made at all. The stand is cheaply made, it love the way the order stands are for the other otter box’s. You can not reverse the camera, because it does not have a hole for it.

Best Case Ever
This is the best iPad case I’ve ever owned and I’ve been buying iPads for quite a few years now. I should’ve purchased otter box cases from the beginning. It’s so sturdy I don’t hesitate to allow my grandkids to use iPad . I definitely recommend it

Misleading Installation Video - No Screen Cover
I specifically watched the instal video to make sure this came with a screen cover. I stupidly didn’t look at the reviews because I’ve always bought OtterBox cases for my phones and iPads and didn’t expect the website to be deliberately misleading. And now I see from the review responses that I should just shell out another x dollars to buy a screen protector on top of this expensive case? If you’ve removed the screen cover to make it compatible, then update the installation video. You are being very misleading.

Hello! We apologize for any confusion. For iPad devices, the Defender Series case has built in screen protection and the Defender Pro Series case does not have built in screen protection. If you prefer built in screen protection for your device instead of a separate screen protector, the Defender Series case may be a great option for you!

Sturdy but no front cover
seems like a god case but doesnt have cover over camera or front screen so if its going to be put to work outside, get a different case.

Hey there! While we are glad to hear that you are mostly enjoying our Defender Series Pro case for your iPad, we are sorry to hear about the screen confusion. Our engineers removed the built-in screen protector from our Defender Series case to ensure complete functionality with the newest devices. Our Defender Series cases were redesigned in order to provide the same drop protection even without the built-in screen protector. The addition of the Alpha Glass/Amplify/Alpha Flex provides your phone with premium protection and outperforms our previous Defender Series designs. If you have any questions, or if you need some help picking out the perfect screen protector to fit your needs, give us a ring at 1-855-688-7269 and we would be happy to help. Cheers, OtterBox Customer Support

Okay but has flaws
The case that goes around the Otterbox is great but the shell that protects the screen and can be used as a stand is about as bad as it gets. When using the stand it gets stuck and to put it back it nearly break every time as if it gets stuck truly an awful design. Other than the stand the case does as expected.

Oh no! We're sorry to hear about this unusual situation with your Defender Series Pro case for your iPad. The case should allow for you to utilize the stand feature with relative ease! We are certain that a replacement under our product warranty policy should help resolve this issue. Just give us a ring at 1-855-688-7269 and we would be happy to help. Best, OtterBox Customer Support
