Would buy again
Color: Black
Have dropped more times than I care to admit and it has protected the IPad extremely well, so far no damage.

Heavy but safe and sturdy
Color: Black
I purchased for my iPad Air 4th gen. Ages her back, I’ve been buying cheaper cases and the cases break. I’ve bought 3 cases, I would’ve saved money if I just bought Otterbox the first time around. The case makes my iPad heavier but I’m not scared if I drop it getting up from the couch. I wish it had straps or a way to attach a strap, but that’s a minor issue. ... show more

OtterBox is worth the price!
Color: Black
This really works. I had my iPad Air in this case when I put it on top of my car and drove away. It flew off when I was going 45 mph. I saw it behind me cartwheeling down the road. The iPad still works fine. The case would have survived but a car ran over the top piece of the case that came off in the fall. It’s way cheaper to replace an otter box than an iPad! Thank you so much Otter Box. I’m sure it can protect my iPad from my grandchildren if it survived what I did to it. ... show more

Fits iPad Air 5th gen perfectly
Color: Black
Otterbox Defender for iPad Pros: *fits great and appears to be strong enough to absorb major shocks ( not tested this yet!) *good sensitivity with fingers on protective screen cover. *good access to all buttons *good openings at top an bottom to hear the speakers ----------------- Neutral (observation only): *protective top cover is not physically connected to the protective base. Once removed, it clips to the bottom of the protective base. *Only available in black * The power port, while protected wonderfully, is challenging to open. ----------------- Cons: * tilt options are limited to two positions. *The box it came in, indicated it have previously been opened and then sealed with stickers claiming "authorize reseller" * only seems to accommodate the Apple pen. Unless you have a stylus that is the same diameter, or wrap the stylus you have with tape to fit. ------ I've had other Otter box protectors for iPhones and they work great for a couple of years, then the rubber tends to relax where there is little support. Eventually, it gets to be a pain and either needs to be trimmed off or replaced. This iPad protector has one spot that looks like it might have the same issue between the power button and the volume buttons. I've learned, DON'T play with the protective rubber and it will last longer! ... show more

Built In Transparent Screen Cover Needs Replacing
Color: Black
I’ve bought this case in 2022 but didn’t use it until 2023. Now the built in transparent screen cover needs to be replaced. Anyone ever replaced theirs? I prefer my prior Otter Box with no built in screen.

Very protective
Color: Black
Bought this case for my son who is extremely hard on his devices (he cracked the screen of this iPad the first day when it was in a different "rugged" case). This one is sleek enough that he doesn't feel like he's carrying around a case meant for toddlers and it isn't too bulky. The stand options in the front part of the case are nice, although he doesn't seem to use them much. I would if it were my case, although it would be nice to have more than two angle options). The apple pencil holder in the front part of the case works well to keep the pencil in pace and works with my off brand pencil. The screen protector doesn't hinder him in the way (any my son is very picky about that). My only issue with this case is the thin piece of hard plastic that covers the pencil charging side of the tablet —the piece that hinges up to reveal the charging pad—keeps coming off. We've just left it off and it hasn't been a problem to day. ... show more
