Love the case, just had to remove the plastic cover from the front. We used the otter glass instead.

Poor IPad case deaign
The case stand feature is poorly designed. It’s very awkward to extend. The case is very heavy. I would not recommend this product

Disappointed
I have had several Otter Box cases. I’ve never disliked them until this one. This feels cheap despite its cost. It is extremely difficult to open and use after storing it. The stand is impossible to use. It gets stuck and you collapse it. The stand has an opening for your IPencil while charging it . But no place to store your pencil when not in use. This model case was the only one available for my IPad model. I like that it protects my IPad but that is the only thing I like. It is not user friendly.

The Ultimate in Protection
When we are in the market for a new Apple product, the first thing I do is buy the OtterBox Defender case specific to that product. My goal is to have the OtterBox case arrive prior to the Apple product arriving. This way, the Apple product receives what I believe to be the ultimate in protection from OtterBox immediately right out of the box. Thank you OtterBox for such awesome protection over the years.

Nice case
Nicely made case. But the stand feels like it’s going to break easily? The last one I had lasted a long time before it broke from a drop.

Not quite what it was
Drop protection appears to be sound however, the stand is substandard. Especially inuprght mode .Very unstable.

Good case, bad screen protector.
Ditch the screen protector. While this can be labeled as a tough case as I have many fall down stairs, the built in screen protector fails. I find it rather difficult to touch the protector and have the iPad screen respond to my touch. It feels like there is a small gap between the iPad screen and the built in screen protector, and that maybe causes the issue? If messy kids are involved then I can see the benefit of this, but for real world use the screen protector fails in so many ways.

Exactly what I was looking for!
Very good protection! The case is very well made. The clear screen protector reduces the touch sensitivity slightly so I removed it from the case. If kids were using it I’d leave it on. Not that big of an issue. I’m the only user and don’t have to worry about damage. For example, I had my last iPhone for 9 years and never damaged the display but did drop it a couple times so that’s where the case helps for me. I recommend you make sure your iPad is very clean before you install the case so you don’t have particles stuck under the screen protector. I have 11” m3 iPad (first one Ive had)

Otterbox iPad Case Review
The screen protector on this is no good. My son dropped our iPad and the screen still cracked.
1 reply from OtterBox Customer Support team - 2 years ago
Hello! We’re sorry to hear about your damaged device. Our cases are very protective, but some variables can’t be predicted. We’re happy to send a new OtterBox product under our product warranty, but we are unable to extend our warranty to the device itself, as we are not the manufacturer. Please give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions or if you’d like a new case.

iPad 11in pro case
Great product except it doesn’t feel as sturdy as the 9.7 inch. I think that’s because of the the way they had to make it to work with detachable keyboard. Other than that it’s a great product.

Great product!
Overall amazing product and the little side door for the magnetic Apple Pencil works great! The only downside was the hard plastic pencil holder that comes with the stand. It held the pencil too well to the point I felt that I was damaging my pencil trying to get it off and on, so I just took it off haha.

I love it!!!
This case is fantastic! It keeps my iPad safe during my daily use, including commuting. The case is very strong and has a built-in stand and hard cover to protect the screen when not in use and traveling. I absolutely love it! I get this same kind of case for all of my iPads each time I upgrade my iPad. I wouldn't use any other case, seriously! I f you care about your iPad, this is an essential.

Incredibly durable, and as tough as my UTV.
Our first Otterbox was for our phones (iPhone 4?). As we are offroad in the desert a lot it showed its stuff. We’ve had them ever since for iPads too. Good enough for the military good enough for me.
