Solid case, minor tweaks.
Solid case for an ipad 10th gen. The only complaint is the stand is a little confusing at first.

Cheap Quality
It does appear to protect the iPad sufficiently, but the stand broke within two weeks of purchase. So now we have to buy another case anyways. Definitely won't be an Otterbox.

No screen protector
Does not include the screen protector like previous models. Overpriced case for that reason.

New product not as expected
Very disappointed in the new otterbox defender. It is advertised as having a built in screen protector that protects from drops. It no longer has the screen protector that the old otterboxes had that helped keep the screen scratch free and the device clean from debris. Now my new iPad has a space on the screen where it is not protected. The lid for the case also has a section that further exposes the screen to scratches and debris. I went on the otterbox website and I believe you now need to purchase a screen protector that is compatible with the otterbox defender to have the 3 layers of protection they used to offer in one case. I am really considering returning the otterbox and looking into another product that offers similar/better protection for my device.

For Otterbox, not living up
Like: Overall sense of protection in a drop. Dislike: No cover over the screen when not in use. Rear shell covers rear lenses, and so rear shell must be entirely snapped away entirely from the front shell (all four corners) to use rear camera. Easel stand integrated in the rear shell has bad fitment and is prone to jamming, especially upon stowing it; I fear breaking it every time, Overall, feels bulky. I respect, OtterBox phone cases but this iPad A16 case is a loser. Ford Pinto bad, It’s going back.

It just looks like it's been used
But I dislike about it. It was probably used. It had a bunch of scratches on the case about. Looks like it’s been opened when they handed it to me.

Overpriced
The case itself is decent quality, but the part that you can use to prop it up has to be put on and off each time, and covers the camera when in use. It’s a pain to use and keep up with, so we just use the case itself- and for the price that is a waste. You can get something similar for much less. Overall- not a good setup.

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!

Deceptive business practice
Criminal bait and switch. There is NO SCREEN PROTECTOR even though video shows installation with a screen protector on the product. OtterBox requires you to purchase separately. Check your state’s civil statutes on the consumer protection act. Sue otterbox in small claims court. This is a deceptive business practice and a clear bait and switch. Target should drop this product immediately.

As this information has come to light recently we have corrected the video that shows the screen protector within the case. We do apologize for the misinformation on this and are always willing to assist you with issues like this in our customer service department.

Needs a rework
I purchased two of these specifically for durability as they are for kids' electronics. The deployment design for the stand needs work. One lasted 3 months exactly before the stand broke off. For the cost the hope was to get a year plus. Good thing Otterbox does have a year warranty so we will reach out to them.

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.
