Very sturdy case. Big fan of Otterbox for my Iphones. The stand is a bit flimsy and I could see it being easier to break. But, fingers crossed my 8 year old doesn't break it. The outer shell/stand can fit on the back or the front for screen protection. It's a tight fit and harder to get off

I put a slightly older version of this on my son’s iPad a couple years ago along with a decent glass screen protector. (I knew my son would probably be rough with the iPad.) Then a couple weeks ago, a family member accidentally set my son’s iPad down on top of his car, forgot it was there, and drove away. By the time he realized his mistake, the iPad had fallen off and had been directly run over by multiple cars. We assumed the iPad would be toast. But to my great surprise, the only thing broken was the screen protector and the front cover part of the Otterbox case (which had only minimal crack damage). The actual iPad was completely fine - no damage at all, and it works perfectly! Needless to say, I bought a new Otterbox Defender iPad case to replace the old one. That was pretty much the ultimate test of its strength, and it passed with flying colors. Buy this case - it’s awesome and crazy strong!

This case is an Otterbox Defender, complete with all the familiar pro and cons you’ve come to expect from the Defender series. Pros: the teal is a nice color, not too light to stain easily like many of the brands I’ve been looking at, fits iPad A16 2025 well, the material is slightly grippy and helps with traction when leaning the device or holding it (this is the biggest reason I keep buying the phone cases!), the ridge around the screen and the rear camera is the highest of any case I’ve tried so far, which will provide great protection from scratches on uneven surfaces, all buttons and cutouts work, including the Touch ID, the weight is less than 1lb without the kickstand and less than many of the other cases I tried, materials are sturdy and high quality, frame feels just as strong as the ones that have protected my phone from many drops, falls, and accidental flinging across the parking lot while being much slimmer than other “rugged” case brands, is covered by the amazing OtterBox Warranty for the “lifetime of the product” which is listed as 7 years. I’ve received multiple replacement phone cases utilizing this warranty and customer service has always been amazing to work with! Cons: this is an Otterbox Defender. Some of the features I love for my phone case make it less than optimal for an iPad case. The kickstand piece that comes separately is heavy, cumbersome, unstable, and very tricky to position, with no comfortable position for on-screen typing and I couldn’t get the portrait orientation to stay—I can’t see myself ever using it, without the kickstand, there is no Apple Pencil storage or lid to cover the screen, which is probably my biggest complaint with this style of case, it’s a bit tricky to install the case, this is definitely something you put on and leave, there is an additional cutout on the screen adjacent to the volume keys that doesn’t match any features on my device, so that’s annoying. The other important thing to know is that this case comes with a built-in plastic screen protector like the old Defender phone cases did. It doesn’t lay exactly flush to the screen, so with every tap and swipe, you’re pushing the plastic down to meet the glass. It adds a significant amount of glare, impedes the sharpness of the Retina display a bit, and makes the iPad significantly less responsive. I’ve managed to type this review using the on-screen keyboard, but I have to press a little with each tap, unlike using just the glass. It gets very smudgy very fast, doesn’t clean as easily as a glass screen protector, and it’s tricky to do anything involving a lot of swiping. Past experience tells me you’ll want a glass screen protector underneath to protect against scratches as it’s very difficult to get and keep the plastic free of dust and debris. I remember back in the old days, people used to remove the plastic screen protector from the phone cases and use a glass protector instead, but there’s always the risk that may damage the case or impact the warranty coverage. I’ve tried 5 cases so far, and this is the top contender, but I’ll probably remove the plastic screen protector and purchase a separate iPad stand with multiple angles instead of using the one that’s included. I have a magnetic folio option coming soon that I hope to like better for daily use, but I absolutely have confidence that this case will protect an iPad from lots of wear and tear!

I love otterbox as a brand and company. Everything I get a brand new phone I only buy otterbox cases because they are well-made and last a long time by providing great protection for phones. I have been having otterbox cases on phones for the last 12 years and have had probably 6 phones in the last 12 years.

I’m usually a giant fan and supporter of Otterbox cases. This particular case for my 11th gen iPad doesn’t work well. The plastic screen protector does not lay flat on the screen. There is a space between the screen and the protector. You need to press hard to get the touch screen to activate. It’s unfortunate. I wasted $60. I’ll be looking for a new case that works better. I’m very sad. I loved Otterbox.

If you have an iPad, I recommend you look at getting an OTTERBOX case for it. I've used OTTERBOXes for many years and on many different phones and tablets and never suffered any damage to any item covered by them. The OTTERBOX fits very well and protects all the points of the iPad; back, front, sides and corners, all while looking nice and not adding hardly any weight to the carry. I've dropped my iPad Pro 12.9" and it hit a hardwood floor and skidded a distance and was none the worse for the event. The case covers have a mechanism that provides the ability to incline the iPad either in landscape or portrait position to allow it to function while watching videos, using it as a monitor while typing on an external keyboard, drawing, etc. Very nice feature. The OTTERBOX might be a bit more than some other cases, but it's highly regarded as one of, if not the best clamshell type protection cover available. Take a look if your needing a cover for your new iPad or tablet. I think you'll like what you find.
