  • Does not need to be this difficult.
Style: Case for iPad mini
So. Yes. It’s sturdy and seems it’ll protect an iPad really well. Unfortunately, for the past 6 years, we’ve been spoiled by an iPad mini case made by Ballistic, that isn’t made any more. So I just don’t buy “well sure it’s inconvenient and bulky but it has to be, to protect well.” It really does not. This plastic Otterbox uses is so very rigid, the protective cover is extremely difficult to pop on and off. When kiddo’s alarm goes off and he’s already off somewhere, it takes me ages to get the thing open to shut it down. I also can’t find the power or volume buttons easily by touch, they blend in so much. What’s outright laughable is the kickstand. It’s on the inside of the cover that you take off, so you set the iPad on it. It doesn’t sit very securely at all, and now that this model has the pencil holder, in some positions it won’t stay up - it teeter totters right over! So no, it’s not a 4 position kickstand, but a 3 position. The whole situation is anything but stable, so if there’s a tug on a charger or headphone cord, instead of just sliding a tiny bit on the table or not doing anything at all, it slips off the kickstand and ... well, this is how we already know it’s sturdy, as the thing ended up on the floor more times in the first day than the iPad did in a year in its old case. It’s quite heavy compared to other choices that offer similar protection, and very very difficult to install. I am never need to read directions type, and these directions were meaningless. It required a YouTube and a lot of swearing, plus a sliced open cuticle, to get it on. Even then it didn’t seat properly around the speakers and needed quite a bit of poking into place with a toothpick. I sincerely hope there will be a day when there’s another rugged iPad mini case, with a kickstand and a shell that goes over the screen. Because this just doesn’t cut it. ... show more

  • My screen cracked within the first week of use
Style: Case for iPad mini
We have always used Otterbox Defender series for every Apple iPhone and iPad in our home without any issues. Our young kids have dropped, thrown, chewed on, and otherwise beat up our electronics, and they remained in perfect working order. We just bought new iPads for the kids for Christmas, and of course ordered the Otterbox cases again. I could tell immediately out of the box they are not the same quality as before. The interior cases are much lighter and more flimsy than before, and the outside hard case that covers the screen when not in use is thicker, heavier, and frankly really annoying. It takes a lot to get it off and on the tablet. You also have to take it off to open the charging port, which was not the case with previous generations of Otterbox. The biggest issue is that within one week of using this case, my son's iPad screen cracked! We were so heartbroken because we didn't order the AppleCare warranty because we thought we wouldn't need it with the Otterbox. It was going to cost $160 for a new screen, but thankfully Amazon is replacing the iPad since it has been less than 30 days since we got it. What happened to your level of quality, Otterbox? ... show more

  • THIS IS A MUST!
Style: Case for iPad mini
If you have kids or are just a really clumsy adult then THIS IS FOR YOU. This is unfortunately my Second one, but i don't mean that in a bad way. The PRODUCT IS GREAT! (Let me explain) I have an autistic son who decided to chuck his iPad Mini 5, like it was a frisky, off our homes second story... It landed on concrete and the case stayed on fine, but broke some clips that holds the shell together. The iPad obvious bowed a little but the screen and case were free from marking (just a bad bow). Ipad was still useable without issues but we replaced it regardless. Anyhow, LONG STORY SHORT, the iPad Case did its job well and i would stand behind Otterbox cases without question. Im just saying... This is a MUST and it does a fantastic job of protecting the item inside. This is without a doubt my FAVORITE case for iPads and i have had MANY so i know what I'm talking about! ... show more

  • Great protection. Otter box needs to design a defender/commuter hybrid.
Style: Case for iPad mini
I had no horrors installing this. I had read of some who did. I searched a YouTube video for the one thing that wasn’t obvious to me (I think it was the clips around the shell but YouTube and my 11 year old sorted me out). It protects like an otter box. I wish otter box made a defender style case that you can have your own screen protector in or had a glass one that they make to install. I hate buying a $500 device and then covering it with plastic. The whole experience is much less enjoyable. Since this does get used by a small child, though, it’s what must be done since they offer no alternative (tried the commuter and love it for my phone, but the 6 year old doesn’t touch my phone so it’s not a big deal...the commuter doesn’t protect like the defender). The charging port is also pretty annoying because I have to remove the top shell to get to it and then it’s stiff to open it and really deep to shove the cable into. I sometimes miss and scrape the device with the cable. The headphone port is similar but as it is circular it is far less annoying. I would buy again but very much wish there was an option with glass. ... show more

  • Very durable and comfortable in my hands worth the money guaranteed
Style: Case for iPad mini
Its a damn good case and worth the money. Protects all the ports and power and volume buttons are easy to find and not hard to press on them either and the built in screen protector is awesome not much of a glare when using it outside screen is still visible even when watching shows or movies. I’ve been an otter box owner for all models of apple iPhones and iPad mini’s. It may be bulky for the iPhone but it’s worth it. And for the iPad mini 5 it feels really safe in my hands and I have confidence the the case will protect my iPad mini 5. ... show more
