  • Worth the money
Best case I have found for my son’s tablet and my son isn’t able to crack screens like he is able to with other glass we have bought for his tablet.

  • Fits iPad Air M2, sorta
I was impatient when I ordered the latest 2024 iPad Air M2 model. Otterbox did not have a case specifically for it when I received the iPad and I know my tendency to drop electronics (and everything else), so I ordered this one knowing it may not fit. Well, it does fit with the exception of the camera that faces the user (never could decide if that is the forward or rear camera), in that it blocks that. Since I hardly ever use the camera on all the iPads I have owned, I don't care. I figure I could break out the Dremel and cut it down if so inclined, but I'm not. The only port needed is the USB C, and the power button opening fits perfectly. If you want to cheap out and order the older model Defender for your new iPad Air, now you know how it will fit. ... show more

  • Great investment for your toddlers iPad.
I hate to admit, but I have an “IPad baby”. Anyway, this case is worth the money, and it made it through 3 years of life adventures. His last one eventually gave in after much mishandling and even though I shopped for a cheaper alternative, I knew it was worth the price and functionality. While it’s a little bulky, the stand is practical and makes it easy for all of us to use and watch something together. I would recommend, especially because cleaning is pretty simple. ... show more

  • Fits Like a glove.... SUPER
Got a new iPad for Christmas and wanted to protect it since "Old Man" syndrome things just jumps out of my hand. Wish it had instructions on how to take it apart and put it back together so had to go to the Otter site to get the information. Once together it is compact and drop ready. Still not sure how to stand it up but have until next Christmas. It is nice that is has a place to store the pencil and the door closes to hide it. Highly recommend and shipment was fast to the house. ... show more

  • Good, not great.
Why did you pick this product vs others?: Good, but not perfect. Fits well and feels good to hold. Dropped my iPad a few times and it protected my device. My issue is mostly the pencil cutout flap, which causes a bit of bubbling up in the silicone around the hard shell case. I preferred the older models, but understand why they have changed to this style. Good, not great. ... show more

  • Good quality
Love this case for the protection. A little tougher to get screen to react to taps but not a big deal.

  • Very protective
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
