Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Defender is SOLID! I love how durable and useful the Defender Series Case has been for me (and my kids.) I like the ability to prop it up for typing or watch videos like the it advertises. No gimmicks or here. This is definitely worth the investment to protect your iPad!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from One Tough Cookie... I'm a parent with two young daughters aged 5 and 7. We have 2 iPads and even before I bought them I purchased Otter Boxes for them. They literally went from out of the Apple box and into an Otter Box. Without the Otter Boxes I don't think our iPads would have lasted a week. They have been dropped down the stairs, fallen onto our concrete driveway, dropped in the mud, been chewed on, food spilled on them, etc. too many times to count. Instead of replacing iPads the good folks at Otter Box have sent me numerous replacement parts, and sometimes even brand new entire Otter Boxes all for FREE! No shipping charges, no hidden fees, nothing! I simply fill out an online warranty claim and most often the replacement parts (or new Otter Box) arrives within the week! As far as customer service and warranty goes Otter Box cannot be beat. I purchased my first Otter Box for my iPhone 3 about 4 years ago, and have bought new Otter Boxes every time I upgrade my iPhone. I have an iPhone 5 now and it is in the Amour Series case which I think is the best one ever! Please let me know if you start making these for iPads as I will be the first in line to get 2 as it is only a matter of time before my girls drop the iPad in the bathtub... Keep up the great work Otter Box!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from OTTERBOX AS A COMPANY Never in my life have I seen a company that stands behind their product like Otterbox does!!! I've owned them for years and will continue to only buy Otterbox. I have a disabled son so things tend to get dropped alot and NEVER has the glass cracked on my iphone or ipad. They also 100% stand behind their warranty. This never happens with any company anymore. KUDOS OTTERBOX!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love it! Being a girl I was really having a hard time finding a good quality case that was worth the money, but at the same time was cute! Well as a last resort I went to otter box thinking I wasn't really gonna like anything they had. I was wrong! I LOVE my case! It's a little heavier than the other cases but I love the way it literally protects my ipad, in the front, but also in the back too...all way around. You can tell the quality of the material is not cheaply made either, even by the way it looks too!! Holding it with one hand and trying on it at the same time is great, cause it doesn't slip out of your hand....Great buy and Definetly worth the money!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent case This is an amazing case and offers excellent protection. I chose the Defender case because of its built in screen protector and because of it offer complete protection. I have not had any issues with the built in screen protector and it does not diminish the screen. It does add some weight to the iPad. I have the defender for my iPhone 4s and it has paid for itself. Lastly, Otterbox is a n excellent company that stands behind its products. I highly recommend this case and the company.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Best Investment To Protect! This is amazing! I had one for my iPhone 4 and decided to get this one for my New iPad as well. The case is so durable, gives me protection from my clumsy self and my toddler and life in general. It gives me a stand that I can use for typing school and business work or read a book. The color is spot on in the display picture. I'm really picky with pink and I'm so glad that it was displayed perfectly. Over all, I'm so glad I invested in this to protect my device (which was a HUGE investment for my budget). I'd suggest to anyone to get one of these for their electronic devices!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Purchase Ever! With the new purchase of the iPad Defender Series Case I no longer have to worry about scratching the screen with the protector in place, I don't have to worry I'm going to break my iPad with the hard cover protector that covers the iPad all around. Best of all I really enjoy the kick stand feature which lets me stand up my iPad vertical or horizontal when I'm using it at my patients home which keeps the information protected verses if it were laying flat.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nuke proof against kids I love my defender! We have two of them, for each of our Ipads. The only design shortcoming is the silicone outer case, which deteriorates somewhat quickly at the flex points (where it covers the charging port). BUT, our children have stepped on, jumped on, dropped, tossed, tripped over and generally abused the Ipads such that they would be tragic piles of rubble hundreds of times over, except that the Otterbox has saved them every time. They take serious, SERIOUS abuse and the Ipads look like new inside. Well done, Otterbox, I'm a customer for life.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from iPad2 Case This is an excellent product. I own an iPad2 and 3 and i use t for both. My kids have dropped and hit the iPads many times but tx to these products, NOTHING has happened to them. Last year one of them broke. I called Otterbox and they replaced it. Buy it.........it is the best on the market.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great customer service, not so great case. I had this case for about a week and the built in screen protector began falling out. I've always had otterbox's, and always enjoyed them because I like to keep my devices immaculate. But, the case has such a tight fit that the case leaves permanent (or at least I couldn't get them out) marks on the screen. They felt like they were engraved and definitely seemed like it, which almost defeats the purpose of the case. I emailed otterbox's and they sent me a new one free of charge. The case had the same issues. It just seems like these cases are getting made cheaper as they become more mass produced. I would not recommend this case. Dust gets under the screen protector super easy and you need to remove the case every few days to get it out, witha retina screen, this is an issue.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Tough I fix machine tools,and I travel a lot. Once going thru an airport to catch a connecting flight, I was going up the all metal escalator. I dropped my iPad (that was in the otter box case),it tumbled down a couple of stairs. I just knew that the iPad would be ruined. But after close inspection, found that the iPad was in great shape. While there was some damage to the case,the iPad was fine. Otter box honored there warranty and replaced the case.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Buy this product! I bought this iPad case because my son swears by Otterbox products. You will pay more than you will for other high end cases but it is worth it. The quality is excellent and the Customer Service is exceptional. That right there is worth money. You won't go wrong buying these products.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Killer!!! I have a 1 1/2yr old and this is the BEST cover/protector!! I researched so many other cases and finally decided on this one.. I love the fact that he can chew and bite and drop and pound on it and there is literally zero damage! Super easy to clean and I love the stand. I did purchase a otterbox screen protector as well.. IDK why.. Extra protection I guess:)... I think it makes the screen less clear but it's peace of mind in my case. Or maybe my husband didn't apply it correctly... The already built in screen protector is awesome! Very sensitive to the touch! So much that I don't even know it's there! Other reviews I read mentioned this case being bulky. My personal opinion is that it is not bulky at all! So worth the price and I must say that having purchased an otterbox case for my phone in the past and finding it too bulky, I was a bit reluctant in choosing this case.. Otterbox has definitely surpassed my expectations!! So happy!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Protection I have used the Defender case for eight months and I am so glad I bought it. It is sturdy and keeps my ipad safe. I like the ability to use the stand in two ways at two angles. I needed Customer Service to help with something and they were incredibly fast and proficient with their help. I highly recommend this case and this company.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from MUCH better design than the last defender.....but I love this Otterbox and it will be staying on my iPad for the next year or two. It's sleek, thin, and doesn't add much bulk. The design is so much better, I commend you Otterbox and the silicon seems to be much more durable than the old material. My only major complaint, and it is a big one, the screen cover. It destroys the quality of the retina display. I'm thinking about removing it, but i'm affraid it'll void my warranty on the case

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for use in the field We have 7 superintendents and they need to have technology out in the field. Using the Otterboxes really helps us keep our devices safe and clean. We would definitely recommend this product. It saves $$$ by keeping our guys in the field, they are not having to make multiple trips back to the office to get updated plans. I would recommend the Utility Latch, it allows you to hold the iPad with one hand...check it out! http://www.otterbox.com/Utility-Series-Latch-II-10-inch/apl8-latch-10,default,pd.html

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love The Case, Hate the screen! I love OtterBox. Good company, great staff, most outstanding product. This new defender case for my iPad was absolutely awesome! take it from me, I am a good old fashion Klutz. I drop my gear about 110 times a day. If I did not have OtterBox Protection on my stuff, my iPhone/IPad would be dead by now. Love the case hate the screen! It was just so god awful shiny I had to replace it. I am an artist who draws on her IPad, the shinny screen was killing me outdoors. It was easy enough to remove and I replaced it with a anti glare cover and I am happy once again. Thanks!!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Kid-Proof Protection I have three school age kids and I bought the Otter Box to protect my new iPad from possible or inevitable damage from them. It's great to be able to hand over the iPad to my crazy kids and know that it will come back to me without a scratch. One time my daughter was using a stylus and accidentally used the metal end of the stylus as an eraser on the screen protector of the case. She did scratch the screen protector, but the actual iPad was still looking like brand new. When I contacted Otter Box to buy a new case, they completely replaced my damaged case because of the year warranty. I insisted that it was our fault, but they said they would replace it anyway. I couldn't be happier!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Flaws but I wouldn't choose another case I love otterbox, I use them for all of my devices but there are serious flaws to this one. First, the magnets do not work. Second, the screen protector dulls the image quality and some sensitivity to the touch screen. I still use it and wouldn't trust another case for my IPad but I REALLY hope they fix these issues

Rated 5 out of 5 by from iPad Defender series case This is a great case for protection of your iPad. The built in screen protector eliminates the need to purchase a high dollar add on. The case completely surrounds your iPad and almost makes it waterproof. The snap on stand part of the case is a bit awkward and hard to get off. Mine ,actually ,cracked in two places by the magnets. I called Otterbox about the problem and they were very polite and professional about to talk with. They sent a replacement quickly with no cost to me. They really stand behind their product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from iPad Saver I had this in a car going about 20 m/h one day with my iPad 4 in the case. I slammed the breaks to avoid an accident and the iPad flew out of the window. Right after that, a car ran right over it. The case was still usable, however, very beat up and it lost most of its functionality. The iPad on the other hand looked brand new! Otterbox sent me a new case with two weeks for free. They probably have the best warranty policy. If you buy an iPad that is compatible with this case, buy this case. It is worth every penny.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Product!! Great customer service! This was a gift from my daughter-in-law who researched it carefully online. The original one had too much of a gap between the screen and the protector so the screen was not sensitive enough to touch. I had nearly given up on using it but customer service made it right, right away. I'm glad I called. The case gives me piece of mind and protects my iPad when I cook. It's great for recipes. I also love the stand.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Super heavy and stand feels cheap when on Overall the protection is amazing, however the weight of it makes not want to hold my ipad. it makes it twice as heavy if not more. also the plastic stand case feels cheap to me because it rattles when it is on. lastly once i put the case on and decided i wanted to return it, it was very difficult for me to undo the clips that clasp the whole thing together. to be honest i am a little upset with the case and was expecting more from it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Finally a company that stands behind their product My new case is a replacement case from a defender series of earlier design. Wow, the new designs are so much sturdier and more user friendly than the earlier model. The case is made of better plastic and the silicone jacket fits more snug and just plain looks better The customer support and warrantee service is absolutely outstanding. . My iPhone and iPad are now housed in Defender cases. Yes, they are pricey, but you get what you pay for. Most people use that phrase negatively but in this case, it is true plus. Don't waste your money on any other cases.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Comments on my otter box I am truly impressed with my Otter Box for my IPad. I love the way it is constructed and how it protects my iPad. I love the color and how I am able to position it while I'm using it. Yes it's a little bulky but if I drop it it's well protected and it gives me the assurance that my iPad will be fine. Great job by the designer/s

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Might be a bit premature, but. I researched this purchase for several days prior to purchasing this case. I chose the defender based on the other otterbox products. I have had my iPhones in an OB since day one, all of them still look new. I also choose it for the customer service. I have an issue with the silicone covers on all of my cases, but when a claim is made I have received replacement within a few days. I love the feel of the case it feels like the other products I own. Although I have just started using this case, I feel that I made the right choice. Saw some negative comments on the screen protector, but mine is clear and very responsive. All of the buttons work great. Very satisfied.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quality problems My wife and I love our iPad OtterBoxes. Unfortunately, my wife's case has experienced failures of the stand hinges more than once, including the latest case after only a couple of days. I suspect it may be related to the color of her case material (grey) because mine (black) has never had a problem. We both use mine frequently, so I can't blame it on the "operator"

Rated 5 out of 5 by from null This otterbox is amazing. Very tough, because I already dropped it down the stairs and the IPad was fine. The only complaint I could raise is that the case weakens wifi signals and also the fact it took me half an hour to take it apart. Once you find the right spot to start (headphone jack cover) it's pretty easy to separate

I purchased this case in the hornet color and I LOVE IT!! The case is very fashionable and durable. Yes it is worth the buck. Yes, it did add some weight to my iPad, but when I dropped it a few times, the weight was worth it. Everyone loves the color and all my coworkers ordered cases of their own! I also love the versatility of the stand! Can't wait til the sea green color is released!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic product for home use This otter box is a replacement for one i bought earlier. The otter box feels great. There are to many good things to list here. However, the quality of the material means that i cannot use an otter box for work. The problem is that if an otter box is subjected to a lot of use, the soft rubber begins to warp and the hard cover begins to crack. I have, instead, given the otter box to my wife who uses her iPAD sparingly which will protect the integrity of the otter box. I would suggest that you delete the words 'on the go' in your promotional material because this implies that the unit is good for active users. For your info, there are three iPADs in my household. Two of the three otter boxes we bought were effectively destroyed because of extensive use of the iPAD. It did not occur to me to return the first one because i thought i did something wrong. I don't think i will try my luck with a fifth otter box. In the photo attached, you can see what happens over time to the hard cover if the iPAD is used extensively. My primary use for the iPAD is work...running to meetings, taking notes...i rarely print my files now. Thank you for this opportunity

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A must buy I have bought a defender case in the past for my phone and I have yet to find a better one. This time the case was for an ipad used and 'abused' by a 2.5 year old who even steps on it on a regular basis. Very pleased with how it's holding up. No dent or crack on it. However the screen is not scratch resistant to the wood of colouring pencils. The scratches have not affected the case's touch performance at all and they don't interfere with visibility of the screen. I doubt another case would have done so well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from broken ipad I hate doing bad reviews. But I have had nothing but bad experiences with the quality of otter box cases. I have had several on my iPhone 4s since I got it last November. All of them having the same issues with the silicone. But I still bought an otterbox for my ipad when I got it in April. I actually ordered it before the ipad came in so I could put it in the otter box as soon as it got delivered. So while the silicone held up on the case for the ipad I still ended up with a very cracked ipad that had to be replaced. Now I need to find a new type of case for my ipad. I just don't want to risk it again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product and warranty I actually purchased the Defender for my iPad about a year ago. I combined it with the Utility Latch. For some reason the plastic started to break on the corners. I notified Otterbox who immediately responded to my e-mail and sent me a replacement Defender. I'm not sure if Otterbox redesigned the Defender or what, but the case is definitely beefier than the one I purchased before. I recommend this case or any other Defender series cases. I have the Defender for a few other electronics and Otterbox is truely top notch. Than you so much

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Otter saved the pad My husband purchased an otterbox heavy duty defender for his iPad 4 to protect it from grass and dirt. The other night he put the iPad on top of the car, forgot it and pulled off. After realizing the pad was missing, We back tracked our journey to find the iPad in the middle of a busy street ran over by car(s). I am so glad that he purchased this otterbox because it saved the pad!! Luckily only thing that happened to it was a shattered screen. I believe the cover popped off due to pressure but I will recommend otterbox to anyone who wants to protect there investment! I LOVE it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great protection with some sacrifices. I have 3 small kids who have thrown, dropped, and stepped on my iPad. After getting dents in each of the corners I decided it was time to protect my electronics. I no longer stress about my iPad when my kids drop it. The corners are well protected. The protector over the screen works great. I have not had any problems with manipulating the screen as it is intended. I appreciate that I can use all of the functions of the iPad as designed; charging it, plugging in headphones, and using the camera. I also appreciate that the lock/mute button is covered to add an extra layer of difficulty for my kids, but it is not difficult to use for me. The sacrifices are that the extra protection adds weight to the iPad, which is noticeable if you are just holding it with one hand or holding it for a while. If you have the cover attached to the back then it adds significant depth to the iPad and it makes a hollow/tinny sound when tapping on the iPad. I have found that I end up leaving the cover off more than I would have originally wanted, but if I am just around the house I don't mind and deal with the bulk if I am traveling. Since I have kids who are quite rough on the iPad, I am perfectly willing to deal with the added weight and bulk to get such great protection.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Otter box for Ipad I love my otterbox, although it does make it heavier to carry around. Several months ago, my husband dropped something on it and chipped the clear plastic cover. It didn't affect me using it but when my daughter reminded me that there was a warranty, I went for it. Instead of just replacing that part, I got a whole new case.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome!!! Otterbox hit a homerun with this one. It's like an Ipad 1 Defender case that feels better in your hands. I loved my Ipad 1 Defender case when I had it, and when I upgraded to the 2 I of course ordered another Defender. I hated it. wanted nothing to do with it. But when they announced the Ipad 3 I had to go check out the new design of the Defender case and liked what I saw, and even more when I saw it would fit my 2 and I didn't have to upgrade my Ipad! I've had the case for a week now and I have to say this is the best case I have ever bought (and I have bought a lot). Now hopefully they will come out with more colors like they did with the Ipad 1 Defender :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Warranty replacement I got the defender for my new ipad and the first day it was on, my 2 yr old daughter scratched the screen with a broken stylus. I lived with it for a long time and then randomly a corner broke off the hard shell part. I filled out the warranty form online and took the pics and all fully thinking I would get denied. Not only did I not, they took care of it REALLY quickly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great protection, poor screen cover I have used the first defender case for my first gen ipad and the case has been outstanding! Wen I got an ipad4 I opted for the same defender case. It's case is not the same as its original, the screen protector is built into the cover and causes oil slicks and bubbles to form making for reduced sensitivity in certain drawing and design applications, and makes the retina display look washed out. Besides that issue, which impedes the output of the ipad, the case is well built construction wise, and the rubber used in the new line is more firm than the old line allowing for a better grip and feel when carrying and using. The power button on defender sometimes pops out and is firm to press. The screen cover which doubles as a holder feels flimsy when attached, like it is going to fall off but it attaches on all four sides and stays put as long as you do your part to ensure all four corners have snapped into place.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I love it, but a bit heavy The good: I cook, a lot. The case really protects from spills and even a light dusting of flour - easy to clean, even when I put it down on hot homemade fruit syrup! Also I have butterfingers and often buttery fingers and it's easy to grip, even with my Reynaud's. I take it to work and after getting rained on it was fine. It also has survived falling off my work desk twice! Durable, easy to clean, good design for speakers, buttons and switches. I get many compliments on the pretty design. The not great: I carry my iPad everywhere with me and the case adds a bit of weight. Also as many apps are designed for portrait view it would be nice if there were a better way to place the iPad on the base in portrait view. As it is now it tends to slip. Especially if I am in motion or trying to move it one handed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Case, and looked at a lot cases... Frequent Flyer: I looked at a lot of iPad cases and reviews researching cases, covers & other protections options. My iPad travels with me all the time for work. I feel the Otterbox Defender is the best protection you can get while maintaining a pretty low profile. I'll make this quick. The screen protector works fine. Was glad I had it on vacation at the beach. I've grown to appreciate the hard cover/stand. Snapping the hard plastic cover on the front of the iPad, I feel confident the iPad will survive in my briefcase/bag as I cram it in the overhead compartment on the plane. Absolutely glad I paid the extra money for the Otterbox case. I give it my highest rating.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Indispensable Tool I'm a professional landscape photographer who uses an iPhone 5 and a new iPad for creating quick "sketches" in the field. Consequently, both devices travel with me when I'm on photo excursions. They need to withstand the weather, the occasional drop onto the ground, and the constant abuse of being shoved into camera bags and backpacks. I've tried any number of cases, and I've found the Otterbox Defender to be far and away the best for this type of use. As with anything, there are trade-offs, including added weight and diminished screen clarity, but for what I do, the benefits far outweigh the slight compromises. Great product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Only one complaint "Klutziness" is in my DNA therefore I couldn't be without the Defender series. I have the Defender case for both my iPad and my iPhone. The only problem I've had is with the home button. As the cases come the home button doesn't work half the time. I solved the problem by putting one of the little bumper cushions that are used for cabinet doors under the Defender home button. It make the Defender button stick up a little but it is not a problem .

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Otterbox Defender This review is a comparison of the new Otterbox Defender vs. the Gumdrop Droptech case and our experience with both. Hubby and I have had Gumdrop cases on our ipads since we bought them in October of 2011. We bought iPad 2's at that time but I have since upgraded to an iPad 3. He still has the 2. We loved our gumdrops for a long time but recently mine started getting saggy on the backside of the iPad and the silicone stopped laying flat on the front of both of our cases. I had already removed the screen protector when I bought the iPad 3 because it made the retina display very grainy and pixelated. Hubby kept using the screen protector on the iPad 2. I decided I was ready for something new so I researched and concluded we could give the Otterbox a try. I ordered him the black and hornet yellow version and ordered myself the gray and pink (alpenglow) version. I also ordered my son the gray and white version for his ipad mini we just bought him. Boy oh boy what a difference! The Otterbox is far superior to the Gumdrop for several reasons! First of all the level of protection is much greater. The Otterbox is smaller,lighter and easier to hold,yet,it is firm and denser and clips together much firmer. I wouldn't be scared to drop my ipad down a flight of stairs in this thing! Anyway, when my hubby took off his gumdrop case there was moisture all over the back of his ipad and mold growing! He had to scrub it with cleaner to get it off. The gumdrop does not have a hard shell on the back under the silicone so I guess maybe humidity can easily get trapped between the back of the iPad and the case. There was no mechanical damage to his ipad though. We believe that if we wouldn't have discovered this, it would have eroded his ipad. BAD!!! Mine had a couple of small bluish moldy looking stains inside the silicone of my Gumdrop case but there was no apparent trapped moisture or mold on my ipad. My ipad still looks brand new. Neither of us has ever spilt liquids on or near our iPads or dropped them. We are very careful with them and keep them immaculate. He does take his along with him around town in his work truck a lot. We can't figure out why there was moisture other than a bad case design. Anyway, we got our Otterboxes and the built in screen proctector is great! I purchased a zagg invisi-shield prepaid to cut the protector out of mine to keep the clarity of the retina display. To my surprise my ipad is still beautiful with the built in protector so I will not need the zagg. Also, the sound is much louder and nicer as the Otterbox shoots it out to the side and the plastic port seems to magnify the sound. The gumdrop shoots it straight out the back and it is muffled sounding. Here are my two complaints about the Otterbox cases. Although the screen protectors are very responsive, I am finding I have to really pounce on the space bar, I guess since its right next to the edge of the frame, to make it work and there is a slight tapping sound in areas but not enough to matter. ...No where near a shad as a Griffin Survivor. The other frustrating and highly aggravating thing is the air bubbles under the screen protector. I watched some You Tube videos to find out how to cure this and on my case it worked like a charm. I used eyeglasses cleaner on the front of my ipad and then on the inside of the otterbox screen....perfection.tried that on hubby's and my sons with no luck at all. Ended up proofing baby powder on the screen protector to get rid of the air bubbles. I even called otterbox and the baby powder is what they told me to do. I don't like having to use baby powder on the iPads. The screens look great though. You could always cut it out and use a zagg like 8 was prepared to do. The home buttons are much tougher than I'm use to but I don't mind that. Overall great case and I am glad I decided to try them. I highly recommend giving Otterbox a try if you haven't already.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great case. Not blurry Although I can understand why it can lead one to believe the case could be blurry, due to changes when looking at angles, however, it simply isn't the case. I have picture on my iPad (3rd gen) which are with a 12 Megapixel camera, which I've loaded onto the iPad. They are crystal clear. The case is awesome. Watch the video to get a clear understanding, although the instructions on the box (inside, back cover) are sufficient. Just don't be in a hurry, yanking on stuff, and you'll be fine. I'm in Afghanistan, so the dust covers and protection are important. This case delivers in every way.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Otterly Awesome! I bought the otter box for my iPad because I am clumsy and tend to drop things. The iPad itself is light, skinny and difficult to hold on to. The defender case includes a screen protector and a stand as well as the well designed and built outer cover. As I suspected, I did drop it a couple times onto concrete. The iPad was undamaged. The plastic stand did crack but Otter Box promptly replaced it for free. I couldn't be more pleased with the Otter Box. Great Product! Excellent warranty and support.

I no longer fear that my precious iPad will crack. I used to have a smart cover for it but it didn't come close to protecting it the way it should. I used to worry about taking it out of my home but now I feel much safer doing so. And also for anyone who is wondering, I do not notice any difference in resolution from the built in screen protector. I bought this case in the color scheme Alpenglow and it matches my iPhone Otterbox case perfectly (although I think the iPhone case color goes by the name peony/gunmetal).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worth while product I have been looking for a case for my iPad 2 for some time and had researched many other cases. I am rather rough with my iPad, I drop it frequently, and am always afraid of damaging the screen but I never get it wet so I wanted a case that suited my needs. I looked into lifeproof cases and other cases and found that promised perfect protection but didn't want to pay a lot extra for unneeded features like water proofing. The Defender series is perfect for my needs. It is drop resistant has a fantastic screen cover that doesn't interfere with the touch screen at all and even comes with 3 way stand/ cover. However; it is quite difficult and time consuming to get on and off. Also the rubber cover for the home button makes it sometimes difficult to press. Overall it is a great product with some slight design issues that only slightly detract from the quality of the product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great protection for your IPad I take my IPad to the mountains often so I was looking for a tough reliable case and after reading many reviews, I decided to give it a try. The fit and finish of the product are great. Putting the IPad inside was not hard. I did find that when I need to use a card reader that will not fit into the port, I really don’t want to take the cover back off and risk stretching the silicone that surrounds the screen just so I can fit the accessory reader in. I have also had a problem with the fold out part that supports the screen. One of the little pins that the part pivots on broke off so now I have to carefully unfold it to prevent one side of it to detach from the cover. When taking pictures, I need to remove the snap on cover and lay it down while using the camera. Still with these few flaws, I would most likely buy another defender case for an IPad. I have yet to see another case that protects the machine so well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Defender Case for Apple IPAD 2 I love this case. It is very convenient to sit on the desk or on your lap. It has a thick case cover for the screen and is very protective of the whole IPAD. I love this case. It cost a little more but well worth the money.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I like it Right after I installed this case, I bumped my iPad 3 on a wall. (don't ask) :p the screen protector gives me peace of mind, although I have to agree it does take away some of the beauty of the retina display, but it doesn't make my screen blurry. Also, the screen cover/kickstand doesn't put the iPad to sleep, but that doesn't bother me because I always put it to sleep myself. Bought one for my Boyfriend for his iPad 2 so I would definitely recommend this to a friend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from You have redeemed yourselves!!! I think about a year ago I left a review in regards to the iPad case. How the first iPad 2 case was poorly designed. I think I mentioned it needed a few tweaks. I'm sure other customers had said the same. Well let me tell you. I bought the new and improved iPad 2 case today. And I am impressed. Love the feel and design. So much better than the original. Please tell me how I can send back the old one so it can be recycled. Don't really need it. Thanks OtterBox.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Superb protection for your investment. This case is incredibly well built fits perfect unlike some of its predecessors for the iPhone. The cover not only protects the screen but it can act as a stand both vertically and horizontally also when the cover is placed over the screen it automatically shuts the screen off. Very easy access to all ports and buttons. It does have a screen protector so if you bought the i pad solely for the retina screen the protector will definitely take some of the crispness away but in my opinion thats fine considering i can drop my iPad, let my 11 month year old nephew play with it under supervision of course and while its not water proof it candle water spray with no problem.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Luv My Defender Case I read as many of these reviews as I could before deciding to buy this case. I was a bit leery at first, but already had an iPhone Defender case and was super pleased with it. So now I also own the iPad 2 Defender and couldn't be happier. None of the worries I had panned out...it is not too heavy (just sturdy), no pieces of plastic snapped off, the screen looks great to me, and I have no trouble pressing the button on the bottom. I love the cover and the way it converts to a stand. I believe this is the best insurance I could have found against damage to my iPad and I'm so happy I decided to purchase it. Get this case!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from OtterBox Defender Series Case for New iPad The OtterBox Defender Series Case for iPads 3 and 4 is also compatible with the iPad 2. This case provides great drop protection and protects the iPad from dust. Be careful if dirt and sand are blowing around, because it is possible that it will get inside the case and create marks on the iPad. I recommend an additional screen protector. I have personally gotten great results from the ZAGG invisibleSHIELD Original Style Screen-Only. The OtterBox's screen protector is good, but occasionally requires a quick wipe-down. Overall, this case is great. It is perfect if you put your iPad in a backpack or pack it in luggage often, because it will protect your iPad from scratches. This case adds some bulk to the iPad, while it still looks good on the iPad.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Cases except for the doors This case has saved my iPad on more than one occasion, BUT if you use the doors for the charger and headphones a great deal then you will find that the hinge points of the flaps are flimsy. I am sure this can be improved on easily but the company has failed in this respect and this respect only.

I would say that this product doesn't protect the iPad screen very well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Ipad Defender case I had purchased the Defender case for Ipad2 some time ago. After a while the internal frame of that case cracked. No really sure how this occurred, but Otter Box replaced my original case with a newer version. This case has been updated and from the original design. The Defender case is excellent. I am very pleased with this case and the fact that Otter Box replacement my original Defender at no expense. I use there Defender and Lifeproof cases for my cell phones. There products are excellent. If you are in the market for a quality case for your hand held devices, you should look no further than to Otter Box for high quality products. Thank you RM

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Overall good product Although I do not like the otterbox for the iPhone I really like the Defender case for my iPad retina. I had the equivalent case for my old iPad 1 and that is why I got this one for my new iPad. The overall case is dramatically improved over the original one. I really like the new design of the cover with integrated stand. The one negative to the case is that the screen protector is connected to the cover. My screen protector scratched within the first week and from what I understand the whole front of the case must be replaced. Either way, I am disappointed with how easily the screen protector scratched.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good, but needs improvement I was told an Otterbox was the way to go for protection of my new iPad 3. I admit I was waiting for a specific color to be finally be released, but settled for the black and yellow. Putting it on was not hard, and I definately feel safer now if I were to drop it. It looks nice/sharp. And the stand is a real plus. There are a few downfalls. Like many have said, the screen does have a bad glare which is a lot worse when the screen is a darker color. The other thing I strongly dislike is that the home button is very difficult to push, let alone having to try to push it twice quickly to open the dock. Overall, it serves its purpose and I'll definately keep it...I just wish I had waited another 3 weeks for the new color that was FINALLY available. And I hope some day the price will go down.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better than the first case for the iPad 2! I ordered one of these cases when I first ordered my New iPad but I had to wait for over 3 weeks to receive it. I have to tell you I was nervous holding the iPad without a case. I have large, dry and calloused hands and to hold an iPad without a silicone case for me is like trying to hold a slippery sliver of ice. I was so afraid I was going to drop it and the iPad is designed like a piece of art and I didn’t want to scratch or damage it. This new case has several improvements and they are noticeable because we own an iPad 2 and the older style Otterbox Defender case. The improvements in my opinion are: • The lid of the new case has four robust hard plastic corners that firmly lock around and onto the corners of the Defender case itself. This provides better protection from dropping the iPad on a fragile corner and the lid is snapped onto the case more securely than the last model. • The lid contains two magnets so that when you snap it onto the case for carrying it puts the iPad into sleep mode and when you remove the lid the iPad is instantly turned on. The old case did not have this feature. • The new case has a built in screen protector and the original had a separate screen protector. The new screen protector has a pixilation effect when compared to using the New iPad retina display without a screen cover. Without the cover the picture is absolutely perfect and with the cover you can see the micro granulation of the plastic material. It is ever so slight but it is there and this aspect of the screen protector needs improvement. I like the fact that the screen protector is built in but I hate losing display quality because the wrong material was selected for the protector. Let’s face it, the retina display is the main reason why many of us purchased the new iPad. • On the new case the flaps that cover the docking area, the headphone jack and the switch for the Silent/Screen rotation lock, snap into place tightly and do not randomly come open. The silicon seems thicker and tighter on the case and the areas where these flaps fit are much better designed and close tighter. • The edge of the silicon on the top bezel of the case that goes around the iPad display has a nice wide extrusion that fits into a larger channel seal area in the hard plastic case than the last model defender case. The seal and fit is much tighter than the last model case and it simply feels more secure. The silicon was actually a little harder to get off to install the iPad as it is so tight fitting. • The silicon overall feels thicker and fits tighter than the last Defender model and it just feels better made. • The large flip up flap that was on the back of the case for the iPad 2 docking area is no longer there and I like that they removed it. It was useless and was hard to seal and keep in place some times. Things that are the same and are still good: • The removable lid still has the flip up mechanism inside that allows you to install the iPad into it in a typing slant or in a higher tilt for video viewing. I do like the larger snap on corners again as the tilt holding area is larger and seems safer in the video viewing position. For video viewing you can stand the iPad up into the portrait or landscape modes. • The lid still snaps onto the bottom of the case for storage while using the iPad. • The case has two hard plastic polycarbonate shells that firmly snap together to enclose the iPad. The bottom case shell is lined with memory foam to cradle the iPad and provide additional shock absorption. Over all the weight of the New iPad in the case does increase. My iPad 64 GIG is specified to weigh in at 652 grams and when installed in the case with cover the weight goes to 1172 grams or 2 pounds and 9 ¼ ounces. I know it is heavier by almost 80% but I can tell you it feels 10 times more protected than a bare iPad. The silicon cover has an alligator style tread pattern on the long sides of the iPad case and I can securely hold it in one hand where without the case I was afraid to drop the slick surfaced iPad. Two negative comments about the display cover built in as part of the case top shell. • I cleaned my iPad with a very slightly damp microfiber cloth and made sure that the case screen was clean. I still got a few minor pieces of dust under the screen once I closed it. I don’t like that but I have to tell you that is was cleaner than when I installed the stick on screen cover on the last model of the Defender case. You just can’t get rid of all the dust no matter what you do. This is not Otterbox's fault but just a statement about screen protectors in general and their installation. • The screen protector that is built into the top of the polycarbonate case needs to be improved. I may leave mine on for a while but I am likely to take the screen protector out of the case as I do not like the degradation of the quality of the retina display. Overall I love this new case and if the screen protector was better it would be a strong 5 out of 5 stars. It is the best Otterbox case I have used in 3 years and I have purchased a lot of them for iPhones, iPads an iPod touch. As it is now I would have to rate it 4 stars but I still recommend it to you as a good buy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Avid Otter Box user I love the Otter Box Defender series but it did not last long before it broke. The outer hard shell is great but easy to break. My iPad was laid on the sink and slipped into the basin breaking one of the legs off and cracking the hard shell, for being such a small slide I was surprised that is what broke it. The case still manages to stay on with 3 legs so I can’t complain too much except I expected more for the price of the case. I think the legs are weak points and maybe should be a little bigger because they are vulnerable being so skinny. The little stand that comes up lost one of the pegs and slips out of its holder which takes some rigging to hold the iPad up properly and can get annoying. I must say it has gone through a lot of wear, tear, duct tape and serves its purpose. I’ve had the case for almost a year and I can say it is still protecting my iPad with a few reinforcements.

Make it quick and simple I wouldn't have ever purchased an iPad if Otterbox didn't come out with the Defender series for the new iPad3/2 honestly. That other case for the iPad2 the reflex is a joke. Luckily Otterbox came out with the defender bc the release of the 3rd gen iPad thank gosh bc I see so many immitations of Defender series for both iPads and iPhones. They all are copies that lookorvtry to look exactly like otter example the Griffin iPad case is almost identical but ugly and the screen that covers the screen is really bad.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from True Defender I chose Defender for the Ipad 3 because it proved to be more then enough protection for my GSIII! I was hit by a Ram truck while riding my GSXR1000 and my phone was protected. EMTs and the good people of Fayetteville were able to contact my wife, children, mom and my employer, to inform them of my condition. I wish now OtterBox had a case for Bike! We miss Ana. With that said. There is no better protection out there for any of our devices. The defender is a true protection case and it looks awesome. I selected the Black/yellow for good reasons. It comes with a built in stand and screen protector. What else do you need? Buy Defender by OtterBox. For your everyday devices!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Protection yes, auto shutoff no I know that OB is still working out the magnetic polarity issue. THey have sent me a replacement but it doesn't work right either. One magnet in the cover is backwards so the auto shutoff does not work on the new iPad. Apparently it is hit or miss if you get one that is working right. I put my new iPad right into the OBD case as soon as I got the iPad so I do not know what I might be missing with regards to the Retina display. I appreciate the screen protector even if it may be obscuring the quality of the retina display. It is a trade off. I would rate this 5 stars if the shield protector magnets were working right. It's a pity because I really like the case. Customer service is great. If we could just send me a cover/stand with the proper polarity on BOTH magnets, that would be great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best ipad cover ever My cover is pretty and bright. It isn't heavy but durable. My grandson has another leading company cover and he told me that this is a better product. We looked at it on line at all the ratings and this is number one. Customer service is wonderful. We also have their covers for our iPhone . Great products

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Because I'm Happy I am exceedingly rough on my i-pad. I take it everywhere and use it all the time. It has been left on top of the car (bounced down the road) fallen off tables, dropped and I don't know what else. Without the protection of my Defender my i-pad would be toast. The Defender has lived up to it's name and more. I can highly recommend the Defender to anyone who wants the ultimate protection for their device. I also use the case lid for propping up my i-pad for reading. Recently the hinge broke. Otterbox replaced my entire Defender within a couple of days. Best customer service ever. I also have the same protection for my nokia lumia and am more than satisfied with protection. Well worth the price.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best case I ever bought! This case is absolutely amazing in many ways. I love the protection it provides for my ipad. The built in screen protector works great and so does the cases built in stand. If you are looking for serious protection for your ipad I recommend that you purchase this case.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Ipad 2 defender series Well built case. This is the second one I have owned. The case is very solid with a built in screen protector that you can't even tell is there. Easy to install and not too bulky. I also like the cover which doubles as a holder for the ipad.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best companion for Ipad I purchased the Otter Box Defender for my ipad 3. WOW! It's like I have a totally new ipad. The built in stand is awesome, it is so sturdy no chance of it tipping over. Great design and very high quality. Ingenius. I would suggest if anyone has an ipad they need a Otter Box Defender. I love it. I wouldn't want to be without it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Everything it advertises itself to be The silicone is smooth and thick and doesn't have an overly tacky feel, and fits well around the polycarbonate shell. I haven't yet found any places where it sags away from the frame or otherwise doesn't fit as meant to. The silicone is designed to be as low-profile as it can, largely flat, with no unnecessary protruding features. The silicone is textured on the longer sides, making holding the iPad in portrait orientation comfortable. The coverings for the headphone jack and mute switch are easy to open, close tightly and sit flush with the polycarbonate frame when closed, though the well for the mute switch is somewhat small and depending on your fingers, you might have some difficulty moving the switch to one side or the other. The well for the headphone jack is similarly sized, and some headphone with oddly and/or bent-shaped plug adapters might have some trouble fitting in. Any headphone with a straight plug will fit just fine. The coverings for the volume buttons, sleep/wake button and home button maintain a good feel for the buttons, though the covering for the home button may feel a little stiff and difficult to register a press on the button out of the box. I found this lessened as it was used and "broken in" over time. The screen protector is enough to protect the screen from minor to moderate damage, though if one isn't careful, it is possible to scratch the screen protector. There is a minor prismatic/clouding effect on the iPad's screen with the case installed, but I personally have not found it to be a significant detriment to the quality of the screen. Your eyes may tell you differently. The frame is the source of one of the case's few issues, the shell often being very difficult to open. Every time I've opened it, I've needed a small tool to gently pry apart the locking clips at the corners - fingernails may not cut it for you. Putting it back on is considerably less difficult, as it snaps together with minimal effort. Wrapping the silicone around it is similarly easy. The magnets in the lid allow it to perform the sleep/wake function as designed, though sometimes it is simply more natural to lock the iPad with the button rather than using the lid to do so, by which I mean that taking the lid on/off isn't quite as intuitive as opening/closing a Smart Cover. As a stand, the lid holds the iPad rock-solid in all three orientations - landscape typing, landscape viewing, portrait viewing - with hardly any sliding around or other instability in any of the three. Extensive use of the case in the latter two orientations can leave a very shallow but still visible depression in the back of the silicone. The lid snaps very firmly to the clips at the corners of the case, both over the screen and over the back. There are two other cons, which may be simply unavoidable depending on one's point of view, and both of them not necessarily exclusive to this case. The first is that when putting the polycarbonate frame on, and with the openings, however small, at the cameras, dock connector and microphone, it is possible for very small particulate to end up underneath the screen protector. It will occasionally get to the point where I feel compelled to open the case and do my best to clean the inside of the screen protector and the iPad screen with compressed air as best I can. Your mileage may vary. The second is that as one might expect, the case makes the iPod considerably heavier and bulkier. This is generally the trade-off for a case with this manner of protection, but it should be noted just the same and again, your mileage may vary. Obviously, as I am reviewing the case, I personally was willing to accept that trade-off. It should be noted that some of this extra bulk and weight comes from the lid, and with the lid put aside, holding the iPad feels very comfortable and easy to grip in both orientations. If one is willing to accept the extra bulk and the possibility that you may have to open up the case and clean the inside every so often as you deem necessary, the case can't be beat in terms of form and function. The case has a good, solid overall feel to it and gives one confidence that the iPad will be protected from light to moderate impact, or in enclosed places like a backpack or bag among other shifting items, particularly with the lid protecting the screen. I recommend the case highly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantasic The case is great. I tend to be very clumsy with electronics and this case has provided me with full protection for my iPad. I love the stands on the cover, they are so helpful when using my iPad for my work. The case has good grip, so I don't have to worry about my iPad slipping and falling most likely. I believe that overall this is a great case.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Must Have I purchased my first Otterbox product about two years ago for my phone. My phone has been dropped on concrete, thrown across rooms, and even been run over by a car, and it still works great! So when it came time to protect my new iPad, the clear choice for me was an Otterbox. It is the best protection, I wouldn't trust my device with any other case.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect as a gift for loved ones and/or yourself I bought two IPad2 cases in two different colors...one was for me and one for my Mom. I let her choose the color she wanted from the Yellow and Black or the Deep Sea as it was her gift for her birthday and for Christmas Instructions were easy to install it on the IPad, and using the stand is much more efficient than holding it, as is a bit heavy is you are just holding it. It has been great around her 2year little boy grandson, and mine is perfect for my 5 year old step son who has Autism, with those ages comes meltdowns and also disinterest in the IPad and it gets dropped, with the Otter Box case you don't have to worry about it getting busted. Even my sons school uses them. MOST IMPORTANTLY...OTTER BOX STANDS BY THEIR PRODUCT, I have had to have my phone case replaced and they did so NO QUESTIONS asked, online request form, upload photos and wait for email that you NEW ONE is on it's way. I trust Otter Box with all my electronic needs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome Case I bought the Alpenglow cover for my New Ipad (3) so that it matches my Iphone 4s. The match is exact but most importantly this case is amazing. I love that I don't have to worry about my Ipad. It is really sturdy. The picture quality is still fantastic. It is a bit bulkier than without the case but since I have 4 kids, 2 of which are 4 years old, I love that it is substantial. For me the stand is perfect for most everyday browsing and it is not too heavy when I am reading books. Overall a great product that I would recommend to anyone who owns the New Ipad or Ipad 2. I bought one for my husband who has the Ipad 2 and he loves it as well. Once again Otterbox has brought us a product that is efficient and does what it is supposed to. I know there are cheaper products out there but none offer the quality or protection of the Otterbox. I also have to acknowledge that their customer service department was fantastic. Thank you.

Still need to solve that whole waterproof thing like Lifeproof did though. The speaker still has no protection.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Defender on iPad3 Very nice case. The fit and finish is very nice. I love the color, and it is a slight bit lighter than the previous generation Defender case I had on an iPad1. I like the screen protector built in, and the ability to plug the power in with-out pulling a piece of the case off like you had to on the Gen1. The sound/speaker is fairly clear too, as the case seems to direct the sound rather than cover it as the Gen1 case did. Two Problems I have noticed: 1) The "jack-stand" on the case w/ 2 positions is not as stable as the Gen1 Defender case. The Gen1 case had a "high" and "medium" position while the new case has a "high" and "low" position. The Gen1 case put the kick-stand much higher on the back of the iPad which made it more stable. 2) The "Home" button is VERY stiff. Maybe it will wear-in, but it is a lot more difficult to press the Home button as compared to the Gen1 or even with no case on it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Could it be a smidge better...? I have an Otter case for both an Android phone and an iPad. Both are great, however, I wish that the cover for the iPad was covered in rubber rather than the hard plastic cover. I do understand that design requires that the iPad be able to be propped up for viewing which is not a requirement for the phone. It is just that when carrying the phone the rubber surface provides a secure feeling to the hand. The iPad cover is made of a hard plastic and so feels less secure.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Product! This case looks beautiful for the New iPad (iPad 3). The black border around the display makes the iPad look like a photo frame. Case feels sturdy in your hand while holding your iPad. I’m very impressed with the built-in screen protector. I originally purchased a Zagg screen protector but the built-in screen protector does an excellent job, no bubbling, very smooth, it feels like it’s not even there. I’m returning the Zagg protector. The cut out for the speaker is angled inside so the sound is clearer and amplified slightly. The stand/cover is great because you can set it lower so you can type on your iPad or set it higher and display the iPad upright. For the price your getting a lot, case, built-in screen protector and stand. My only complaint would be that the top cover that covers the screen should have been completely covered in rubber. It feels very plasticky.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Case, One Flaw. I have owned this case for appox 6 weeks now so I feel I've had it long enough to give a fair review. Great protection, well designed and functional. Makes the iPad heavier without a doubt but a small price to pay for great protection. Minimal loss to the retina display in my opinion. Screen still looks great. Magnets work as described. My one complaint, the rubber material that the case is made of is very soft. In fact mine marks JUST from stand in the landscape mode. DO NOT try and rub these out, you will only make them worse. As always Otterbox customer service is second to none, having already replaced my case once already. Overall I would buy again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome case - awesome service This case is phenomenal! I ordered the "New iPad" on its release date in March 2012. I purchased the otter box Defender case (compatible with iPad 2 or the "New") for it at that time. While this case was fine, it required some finagling to get on and off and the outer silicone casing was easy for my daughter to peel off. The portion of the plastic casing over the charger was especially flimsy, and eventually broke. I contacted OtterBox and received a prompt response. Filled out a form, sent a picture and waited. Took about 2 and 1/2 weeks, but received an updated Defender case (full case in box, brand new). This case was a big improvement and has proved to be of superior quality, even in the hands of my almost-3-year-old daughter. Great product with SUPERIOR service. It's refreshing to see a company stand by its commitment to customer service. AWESOME JOB, OTTER BOX!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Defender series case for Ipad I have had this case for about a month now. I love the design and durability. It's protection matches that of the iPhone defender case. I love the fact it has a built in screen protector and a shell that's form fitted for the iPad. The black slip cover is well made and stays in place. The stand is very use full for standing the iPad up vertical or horizontal, and when not it use it covers the screen to add that much more protection. The only downfall is the case makes the iPad a little heavy for some people, for me it makes it feel more solid. It's by far the best Otter box case made for iPad.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect case for style and protection I have OtterBox Defender cases on more than a dozen devices for business and pleasure. Iphones, Ipads, Andriod phones, etc. all are protected with the OtterBox Defender case. I have dropped, slipped, had p[hone fly of dashboard, fall off counter and more, always to find no damage. This is the case you want for normal and extensive protection. Also OtterBox stands behind their cases 100%. I'd say they have the BEST Warranty in the business. So for peace of mind and total protection, pick OtterBox.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nothing but disappointment I bought this case because I knew otterbox had a great reputation for their products. However, this case has been nothing but a headache for me. For the life of me, I have not been able to remove the case to clean inside since I put the case on. Now, my silicone shell has been torn to shreds and will no longer stay on the hard shell case. I just want to remove this monstrosity! But, due to a poor design, I am stuck with this dirty excuse for a case.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Defender case for I-Pad This is an amazing case! It fits snug, and holds up great! I have accidentally dropped my I-Pad from about 5 feet and there was no damage to the I-Pad or the case! Fantastic! I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who wants to protect their device. They are worth the price!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from !!!AWESOME PRODUCT!!! My husband and I treated ourselves to brand new iPad 4's with 120 GB's over 3 years ago...since we had Defebder cases for our iPhones buying one for our newest investments was a no brainer! I am so glad we did, because after 3 years of heavy everyday use and more drops than we could ever count, our iPads look EXACTLY like they did the 1st day we took them out of the box! I just recently had to order a new one, just because of normal wear and tear on the product. I didn't hesitate in my decision to order another Otterbox, nor did I ever consider purchasing any other product to do the job!! Trust me, this case is worth the cost!!! Only negative, I'm upset that it's only offered in black...I had the pretty pink one that is now discontinued, and had to switch to the black since that was my only choice. Otterbox, please give us some color options here! Despite that, I still wouldn't consider protecting my iPad with anything else!!!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Durable I have had the product for six months. It can take a beating and keep on ticking. It has done well to protect my IPad. I don't mind the added weight or size as I feel like I'm going to break the IPad if it is not in its case. The only con I have with mine is the screen cover contacts the IPad screen and creates what appears to be water marks. I'm used to it and doesn't bother me. The one I received under warranty replacement does not have this issue. And Otterbox stands behind its warranty very well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from After a year...not so good This case was great at first, but around the one year mark the gray rubber part started to gap at the corners. It's only gotten worse. Then the stand broke. The little plastic pegs that fit into the slots to allow you to stand up the ipad broke off. For an otterbox, I'm really disappointed with the quality of this case. It's only been a year, and I treat my ipad very gently. I believe the corners are gapping because I used the stand a lot...and the pressure on it caused it to get loose. I'll definitely be searching for a new case soon.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Protection Insurance Ever With 4 kids ranging in age from 16 months to 11 years old I knew I needed something to protect my iPad. After all it's just too much of a challenge to constantly be on the watch out, trying to make sure that they are being careful with the iPad. Well I can safely say that after multiple drops, falls, and mishaps this case has withstood the impacts and the iPad has neither scratch nor dent to show for it and is still functioning 100%! It was worth every penny and has kept me from needing to spend a whole lot more money on a new iPad or a new screen.

The only time I ever broke my phone was when I took it out of the otterbox to clean it and the door bell rang I got up to answer the door and dropped my phone --- it hit the wood floor and the face shattered. I drop my phone all the time never ever hurt it. In the few minutes I had it out of the otterbox and as usual I drop it---gone, face destroyed. Never use any glass faced phone or tablet without an otterbox which in my opinion is the best on the market.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great protection & grippy too The Defender case is and does exactly what it is advertised to do, perhaps the best protection for the iPad. Although not waterproof the Defender case securely wraps the iPad in a virtually indestructible shell capable of withstanding daily use. * The backside is extremely grippy and feels secure even when held with one hand. * The screen protection is very durable and yet still has that iPad "glass" feel while seeming to be even easier to clean than the iPad glass itself. Backed by what I personally found to be Otterrific support; keep your iPad safe, wrap it in the Otterbox Defender.

I'm not worried about Max chewing on it or knocking it on the floor at night. Don't get me wrong, he does chew on it, I'm just not worried about it, he won't be able to chew through the hard plastic and if he does ruin the rubber seal, eventually, I'm not worried, I don't take it swimming.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Defender Series The Part of the case that surrounds the iPad is very good. Of 165 cases/iPads this year, we have only had one screen broken. I consider that a tremendous positive!!! BUT....the cover for the case is terrible, and very easy to break/crack. Of those 165 cases, we have had at least 45 of the covers break (cracks, corners broken off, even broken when dropped while off the iPad) The covers are not as well designed (or the materials used) as the main case. In the cases/covers defense, if the students left the covers on the unit when not in use, they might have lasted/survived better. I will say that the structural design may have a flaw, since one of the covers broke as a student dropped it as he was turning it into me. Overall....the case is great. the cover is poor.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Otterbox rocks! I have had an Otterbox case for my iPad since I discovered the product. I love the protection, yet easy access to the plug ins. What I REALLY want to do is relay a story from my niece about her Otterbox case for her iPhone. She's an attorney in DC and last spring she was five or six months pregnant and some time after loading her toddler's car seat into her car and heading home, she discovered her phone was missing. Her husband used the Find my iPhone app and traced the phone to an intersection in Alexandria, VA. When she got to the spot, she saw her phone in the middle of the street and she watched as a couple of cars ran over it before it was safe to retrieve it. The Otterbox case was crushed, but the iPhone worked just fine! Hopefully I will never submit my case to this severe a field test, but I thought I should share this story with you.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Best We only use Otterbox Defender series for all our devices including my iPad. I have this iPad since 2012 and it looks and works as new as when I bought it. It has always been protected with this Otterbox Defender since we bought it. The stand is excellent for when I read and type. This case is black but since there are color choices I have other colors for the other devices. All our devices have been protected with otterbox defender series cases. We would not choose any other kind this one in our opinion is the best.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Replacement case My case was a replacement for my iPads original otter box case that I bought two years ago. These are great products and well worth the money. I've dropped my ipad may times and these thing take a beating that would have broken my ipad. My only problem was that the silicone around the hard case wore out and they replaced it with no problem's.

Otter box cases are the only choice in my experience.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Silicon is bad I bought these case for my Ipad (3) approximately in early of 2013 between Jan - Feb, it was almost 2 months to reach Indonesia - (South East Asia). I would like to say Thank you for Screen Protector, Polycarbonate and Shield Stand they are still in a good condition except for the Silicon. The silicon performance is really bad, even worse my opinion no durability/quality. All I can say, overall is bad remaining the Silicon role as a wrapper otherwise you will not able to use this case. (refer to attachments). Thank you.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Well worth the money Other then the rubber cover over the dock connector tearing off which Otterbox sent me a warranty replacement :-) I highly recomend this case for the iPad 2. I was involved in a rollover accendent in my work van and it survived the rollover and having a paramedic standing on it. If they could come up with a better design for the dock cover it would be perfect but I am still very happy with it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Case, Wish had more options I was frustrated that there were only a couple color options for the ipad otterbox case. I wanted a color case that none of my coworkers have to ensure we avoid confusion, but pink is not my favorite. However, the protection quality of Otterbox is unbeatable and I made the purchase. It is working well, wouldn't mind if they added more colors though.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wouldn't buy any other case I always get Otterbox. This is a wonderful product. The reason I only gave the "design and quality" an average rating, is because the outer cover stretched out pretty badly. Not sure why because I rarely removed the cover. Then when I went to replace it that particular cover didn't have separate pieces to purchase for the cover like they do for the phones. I didn't need to replace the inside because it was fine. I had to end up spending more money on the cover because I had to buy both pieces of the cover again. I find this part of the quality assurance unfair. Other than this problem I think Otterbox is Otteriffic. :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Now I feel safe! After watching my 11 year old son destroy his IPOD by dropping it , I decided there had to be a way to protect his electronics in the future. Days later, I watched my coworker launch his cellphone when he lost his grip on it , while talking with his hands. His phone flew several feet and landed on a bare cement floor! He picked it up, examined it and put it in his pocket. Immediately, I asked what type of case it was. He showed me that it was an Otterbox. Strange name, I thought, but I had to have one for my sons IPOD once it comes back from repair. I bought the case and had it ready for the IPods return. Days later, my son was exiting the back of our SUV carrying his IPAD. It was in a cheap case that I purchased over a year ago online. He dropped it and shattered yet another screen!! I was done with this. I purchased an Otterbox for his IPAD, My IPAD , his Moto G phone and mine too. Now all our electronics are protected. My wife is getting a Moto G in a few weeks. I guarantee I will be buying an Otterbox for that before she does!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great case, but.... I love my defender case for my iPad, keeps an expensive piece of gear in good shape. My greatest issue is with the cover/stand. The plastic has cracked around the magnets, they now stick to the iPad when I open it. The bracket to support the unit is broken at two of the eight pivot points, it now has to be realigned/put back together nearly every time I open or close the unit. As this is a major issue for me, I've rated only three stars. This needs to be addressed!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I should of bought this 1st This is my second protective case for my iPad. The one I had before chipped (causing a small dent in my ipad) when it fell about 2 to 3 feet from a desk onto the floor. From there it slowly fell apart over the next 2 years. I feel I could drop this one off the roof of my house with no ill effects (thought I'm not going to try that). It is sturdy and easy to grip. Classy looking too. I give 5 stars without reservation.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from VERY PROTECTIVE I own 2 Otterbox Defender Cases and they have both exceeded my expectations. The first one is for a first generation Ipad and it has protected it very well. The only complaint I would have about the first generation defenders is that they don't have a screen protector except a thin plastic sheet you apply to the screen and you have to remove the side of it to connect the charge cord. I ended up drilling holes and cutting hole in the side so I can connect the power cord without taking it apart. The defender for my Ipad 2 has all those corrected. Also I have dropped my Ipad onto a concrete floor twice and it did no damage to the Ipad inside. Grant it the stand broke, but I would rather replace the stand then an Ipad.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from OK quality, ok overall... stellar support! This case was a good fit, and functioned very well for a year or so. Then the poor material quality showed up. First the elastomeric cover failed and became slack causing allot of usage issues. But it was replaced with a new and improved cover free of charge, no worries. Then the case stand hinge failed due to poor design of the hinge. This too was replaced without question, but this time with the same design. I anticipate failure in another year or so. Overall a good case, functions well, at least for a while, but Otter replaces the failing parts without question so no worries.... I would recommend this case, it does the job at a good value.

I had purchased it so that I could bring my iPad into the classroom without fear of someone accidentally dropping it. The case offers great protection against the everyday bumps and tumbles that occur however, I find that because of the extra protection the iPad becomes quite heavy to hold and adds extra weight to your bag. The defender is perfect for you if you don't mind compromising weight for durability.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pretty Good - 5 Star Warranty The iPad Defender Series Case definitely protects the iPad. I was disappointed that after 2 years, the case was falling apart. The silicon was stretched out, the silicon grommets for the home button, audio and charging ports had come off. One of the magnets had fallen out of the cover. Very lightly used, shouldn't have worn out for such minimal use. The bright side, Otterbox warranted the whole item and sent me a replacement. No fuss, no muss. So, with Otterbox standing behind their products and with how well the product protects the iPad, I strongly recommend to everyone this item.

It'd be nice to have some form of waterproofing to... we have the first gen ipad air with "LP" and that beats this product imo.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great case, great warranty The same day I had my iPad2 screen replaced I decided to buy an Otterbox case to protect it. It is much heavier than the other cover I had used, but I feel it is worth the extra weight due to the great protection it provides. I was very happy with it, and then after using it for 11 months the little pins that hold the stand up on the back cover to prop it up at different angles broke off. I contacted customer service via the Otterbox web site and I am totally impressed by the speed, courtesy, and quality of customer service provided. I only needed a new back cover, but was provided with an entirely new replacement Otterbox. I had already been recommending these cases to all of my friends, even since the first day I bought one, but now I have even more positive things to say. Thank you!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fabulous protection I have this case on my iPad, and on the family ipad which is used by a five year old and an 8 year old daily, and their friends. I have found the case cover easy for the kids to take on and off and it provides incredible protection. Since buying these cases I have not had any screen repairs. Prior to purchasing cases I had to repair my ipad once because of screen glass breaks and twice for the kids ipad. All kids should have iPads but without the case they are too fragile. I just knocked my ipad off the bed and there was no cracks in the screen. Everyone should have this case fabulous. Excellent warranty also.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from VERY NICE case for the iPad Case was very easy to install around the iPad. Case seems very durable vs the old type and I like the cover that doubles as a stand for the iPad. Overall a very nice accessory for the iPad. I also have an Otter Box on my iPhone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Mostly good but one bad flaw I love the otter box but found that the inside support flap breaks easily. Therefore because of this flaw otter should replace it and make the next box more sturdy inside area. The tip ends of the flap are short and brittle. Now on the good side it's great for standard protect of your I pad.

No hassle, no arguing, no looking for recites from a year and a half ago, simply send a photo, talk to the friendly folks at OTTER, and they ship out replacement parts! The Otter box is a tad bit heavy... But I guess some solider somewhere say his M1 ABRAMS BATTLE TANK is a tad bit heavy as well, this being said, the Otter Box Defender gives Tank like protection!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Otter Box Defender iPad case Great case, pretty bulletproof and good protection for the precious iPad. Mine gets carted around with me so great to have it in a case that is so robust. Does make it heavier, and the case is hard to get off if you do need to get the iPad out - price you pay for the dust and water resistant nature of the beast. The clip-on cover/stand has a great range of positions to prop the iPad up - however the corners cracked off mine, so I could no longer use it as a stand or cover. The Otterbox crew were fabulous - it was still within warranty, so I sent those lovely Otter folk photos of the damaged cover and they sent me a new Defender cover.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great, But Otterbox Stopped Supporting Great Otterbox product but Otterbox stopped supporting the product, so now we have a case but no ability to replace the softer rubber outercase that provides part of the protection. We have a long history of purchasing Otterbox products because they last and you can buy the replacement parts that are meant to wear out. Because of Otterbox discontinuing the replacement parts of this product, this may very well be the last time we purchase Otterbox products.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from very very good maybe even excellent!!!! I have a number of apple products and each one of them is protected by an Otterbox case. I have recommended their products to a number of friends and relatives including one who is in the military. Although the case has cracked on two occasions my iPads and iPhones were unscathed. Between my son and I my apple products have been dropped, stepped on and fallen out of vehicles and they have always survived without a scratch. Fortunately with the Otterbox warranty they either replaced the failed part or replaced the entire product. I don't have a single complaint and will continue to recommend their products to friends, relative, coworkers and even people I don't know or like if they are looking for the ultimate production for their apple products!!!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from New version feels different. Better? Within a year of owning my Defender case for my iPad the silicone rubber outer shell had stretched out to a point where it didn't fit snuggly anymore. After receiving a new one under warranty, it seems like the outer rubber on this new one is a little harder/less "rubbery," if that makes sense. Although this makes it a little less grippy in your hand, I'm hoping it will last longer and won't stretch out. Only time will tell.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from run over by semi I left my iPhone o\n top of my car and drove onto interstate 35 in Oklahoma city. Of course it fell off. I looked back and saw several cars and at least one semi's tires drive directly over the phone. I managed to stop go back and pick it up. To my pleasant surprise the only damage was a couple scuff marks on one corner, a few indentations on the clear protective front cover and several truck tire tread marks on the back of the otter box defender. The phone works perfectly I'm sure that the money spent on this great case saved my iPhone 6+ from total destruction. Maybe otter box will exchange my case for a new one so they can put my otter box in their museum of phone saving otter box defender protective cases.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I have a 2 year old. 'Nuff said. Anyone who has little kids get it. I had an Otter box for the iPad when i had my first child. By the time she graduated to having her own iPad, her first one was like new. I gave her iPad to the next kid, my son, and he trashed it. Had to repair the scree multiple times and it's still not right. My husband and I decided it was worth the price for the case, as every time he broke the screen, it cost just as much as the case to fix the screen. Only reason I gave it 4 stars in this case is that the screen protector is a little flimsy (for a two year old, though). Fantastic case if you have kids though. Totally encapsulated, and saved our iPad numerous times from the wrath of kids.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good, but could be better My Defender case is going on at least four years old. I bought it because my IPad was traveling with me on my motorcycle and I tend to drop and spill things. It has lived up to its expectations. It has protected very well against drops and spills, and my ancient IPad still looks brand new! The bad news is recently the soft rubbery part tore, the built in stand broke and the automatic shut off appears to no longer work. Considering the cost of this product, it would seem reasonable to be able to at least purchase replacement parts from Otter Box. My other criticism is that a case this expensive, big, heavy and clunky should be waterproof as well.

No, I'm not a klutz, just active. I dropped my iPad encased in an OtterBox defender while juggling the leash of a 200 pound Mastiff. It landed on the corner and bounced, landing on the hard case cover for the screen. There was a very slight scuff on the hard case cover that I removed by the judicious use of a bit of rubbing compound.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love my OtterBox I was looking for a iPad case that was not only durable but user friendly. I found that with the OtterBox Defender. The OtterBox Defender case was built to protects my device on all sides from oils and dirt. The buttons, ports and screen are completely covered without hindering any of the iPad operations. The separate cover snaps on and off easily and doubles as a steady support stand with two positions. With the added protection the Otterbox Defender gives, I no longer hesitate to travel with my iPad knowing that it is well protected.

This one is sturdier and has protected my iPad through a year of kindergarten kids knocking it off the table, etc. Some friends warned me they had trouble with having a screen protector, but I have had no problems. I would definitely recommend for anyone worried about protecting their iPad, iPhone, or any electronic device.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worth the money I travel for a living, my ipad is in a soft sided piece of luggage that gets hauled on & off Locomotives and tossed into the back of vehicles every day. After a year the protection has been flawless and the customer service when a hinge broke was rapid and painless, they replaced the old unit (which still provided protection just not the stand capability with a brand new unit). If I have a slight complaint it would be that the angle the Ipad is held at when in the vertical position is a bit to straight up & down, there should be a bit more angle.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from What I needed My son (ASD) is on his 8th, that's right, 8th ipad. I tried everything since it is his most prized possession. When I heard about this product, I purchased it for his 7th. He is very hard on it and it broke, but I contacted Otterbox directly, and they were wonderful, professional, knowledgeable, understanding, and quickly sent a new one. After having an "important" talk with my son, he is treating it like gold. Thank you from a parent who needed help!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Dropped from ladder I have had Ipad in Otter Box from almost day 1. Had a 10 ft ladder propped up and was standing on 3rd rung from top and ladder slid out from under me, and the Ipad went flying. I was not hurt and neither was the Ipad even though it landed 15 or 20 ft away from me. All manufacturers should require an Otter Box on their device. It is the only way to protect valuable electronics.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The best case I recently purchased my 2nd defender iPad case. It's simple yet effective design is like no other. The simplicity of use and comfort of being able to attach the screen cover onto the back of the case securely is my favorite feature I tried the Lifeproof Nuud but didn't know what to do with the screen protector cover while using the iPad. Nothing beats the Otter Box Defender in my opinion

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic product. . .Even better customer service Bought this Otterbox Defender a few years ago due to the reputation for ultimate protection. I have small children and I knew that this Defender case was the only real way to protect my iPad. I love how durable and worry-free it is. A few clumsy drops later and the original case is still going strong. Even better, the Otterbox warranty is unmatched. Yes, you pay a little more upfront, but I've submitted 3 claims now and they have helped me "hassle free" each time. This last time I submitted pictures of a couple damages caused by my kids and Otterbox sent me an enitirely brand new case (all 4 pieces!) I bought this maybe 3 years ago, made 3 warranty claims, and now they even send me a whole new case! Are you kidding me? This is what customer service is all about. Stand behind your product! And yes, all my other iPad and iPhone cases are Otterbox too now.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Protection was not as good as I was expecting The design is a bit awkward, but I did love how you could position the iPad in two positions on the cover, and using the iPad through the clear protector was no problem at all. Audio was good with the case on. But with one small drop from fingertips to floor, the cover broke at the foot where it hit the floor, the case cracked at the corner of impact, and so the iPad screen/digitizer cracked from that corner of impact across the whole screen also. Luckily the cover was under warranty, and I had the iPad insured, but the case, cover, and my iPad still broke far easier than I would have expected. In defense of OtterBox, they did say that it may have just been a freak fall where the impact point hit just right, and I will say that it definitely did hit right on a corner onto a hard floor from a little over 2 feet high. I still would not carry my iPad around without a protective case on it. And I do feel the damage would have been worse to the iPad if there had been no case on it at all though. I also received a replacement warranty case and put it on my iPad. Because as far as protecting it in my briefcase, and keeping the screen scratch-free, it worked. I was happy in how it performed in day to day use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from iPad Defender Series Case This is a sturdy case. Purchased my first case in 2011 and when it was replaced, I was sent the new upgraded case. The plastic is durable and it feels sturdy and substantial! The stand is also improved in thickness around the corners but the improvements are noted primarily in the case. The case will last a lifetime and look forward to using the stand again during travel!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from good protection but stand needs improvement The defender does a great, 5 star, job protecting our iPad from the resident toddler. Many drops later and no problems with our iPad. Also, the screen protector remains very clear. However, the shield stand receives 2 stars for both design and quality. Within 6 months of ownership the plastic tabs, which allow the shield stand hinge to articulate, started to fail. One by one the plastic tabs snapped off. Within 1 year all the tabs were gone and the shield stand hinge was useless. Otterbox replaced the case (THANK YOU!!!). The various working positions of the shield stand are a great feature! Please consider changing the tab material from plastic to metal.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A year later...disappointed When I first purchased this product in February 2013 I was initially very happy. And now just after a year the silicone cover has expanded and no longer properly fits the plastic frame. I can honestly say that I have taken very good care of my iPad and do not handle it roughly. I have only removed the case once. I am disappointed that I invested such a high cost for a product that lacks longevity.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not awesome, but the best available protection Item cracked the very first day following a very normal trip in a backpack (not sure how it could have been impacted as to cause a crack), so it's no longer "waterproof" but it still provides ample protection from dings, dents, drops, scratches, etc. Difficult to hit the "on" button twice (to be able to close windows and similar), and even a little tricky to hit the "on" button once, but hoping that will get better the more it is used. The screen protector gets a little filmy, warping the images a bit (diluting the advantage of having hi-def images). These are the only problems I have with the product, I am incredibly pleased with it in all other respects. I even bought another OtterBox for the iPhone. If protection is what you're after, and you can tolerate the disadvantages, there is nothing better on the market, even at higher price points.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Otterbox Defender Case Case is great and protects like no other. The only problem I have with it is that the rubber that covers the charger/head phone jacks wears out fast and eventually will fall off. I rated it good quality because of that specifically. Otherwise it's a great case. I am lucky that Otter has a great warranty because they gave me a brand new one. Thank you Otterbox!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Drop on the entrance to the freeway, car ran over I was in a rush and I left it on my upper roof of my car. When inside and check my duffle bag and I forgot that I had my IPad on the roof. I made a right turn on the entrance to the freeway and I just remember that I must of lost it. I was very scared to lose it because I was using for a application for a camera wifi that I couldn't afford another one at that moment. So, I turn around and got back to my entrance on the freeway. I saw a couple looking at a item and I was hoping that was it. The couple told me that two cars had run over it. The Defender case was broken and had all kind of road scruff and the IPad worked! So, I am glad that the Defender worked! So, I owe my working IPad to this!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great case This iPad case is great. I don't have to worry about the iPad with the case on. The few times that I've had to clean the case from sticky hands and some dust on the inside I've found that the iPad looks as good as when I bought it. I've had to have the silicon exterior replaced due to excessive use but with the replacement warranty this issue becomes moot. The only gripe (small) that I have is that the case makes it, feel like, double the weight of the iPad. If you have something of this quality protection this is a con I can live with.

He has dropped it a few times and everything has been just fine. Always took the iPad out to check for possible damage and never found any! The last time (2 weeks ago) he knocked the iPad off the couch and it hit the hardwood floor in the house and the Otterbox came out just fine, but the screen of the iPad didn't fare too well! Cracked in 3 different places! Would definitely recommend Otterbox for iPhone (we own 3) just not for iPad.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best protection AND Customer Service I beat the heck out of my otterboxes, phone and ipad. I have dropped them briefly in the lake. No damage. Dropped them from a 12' scaffold. No damage. I eventually scratched up the screen protector too much and tried to buy another. They replaced the whole case FREE! What a great company!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lives up to its reputation I have an Otterbox defender for my 128 GB IPad, and I couldn't be happier with it! I work construction & travel a lot so there are a lot of opportunities for something to get ruined or broken. Worked around a lot of windy, dusty, sandy conditions & have never have I had an issue with any ports, or stuff inside my case. Probably the best thing was my iPad, while traveling by plane, got knocked off a ticket counter by an employee. A corner on the hard shell removable cover was broken off in the fall but the iPad was completely unharmed. But to top off the protection it offered my iPad is that Ottetbox replaced my entire damaged Defender for free! Customer service was great! I actually called to purchase a replacement cover since it was broken in the manner that it was I didn't feel as if it was a warranty question. But the very nice lady in customer service told me flat out no need to buy anything, we will replace that unit for you. How amazing! They sent it to me at no cost to me what so ever, not even shipping. In the end it saved my iPad from being broken or damaged and the damaged cover was replaced for free. That is what is call standing behind your word! You don't see this kind of support from companies any more! THANKS OTTERBOX!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Dont buy If You Have kids. I don't write reviews really but here it goes. First I own a Apple IPhone 3gs & didn't put a case on it. Bad mistake. So when I purchased a Apple iPhone 4 I got a Otterbox Defender case. BEST CASE EVER!!!!!!!! The reason why I purchase it was I work on a building site so I need something which is gonna save my phone from all drops, bumps & dust. So I took the same advice with the Apple iPad 2. But because I have young children I thought it should last for ages. But I was wrong! Purchased the Otterbox Defender case for the Apple iPad 2 in January 2012. I also had to buy a Zagg Invisible Shield to protect the screen which cost me extra. In March 2012 the clip on the case broke. Then April the frame around the home button snapped off! Also the silicone keeps slipping off too. So the case last me less than 5 months. Now my brother has purchase a Apple iPad 2 for he's little son & he asked me about a hard protective case & I had to show him that they don't last very long. This is why I had to give it a bad review.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product but some vulnerable spots I bought the New iPad and this Defender case for some pretty rugged fieldwork that involved carrying the iPad around for many miles every day in some harsh desert terrain. I recently finished my fieldwork, came home, and removed my iPad from the case. It emerged almost totally unscratched, with a couple of tiny spots where dirt apparently snuck into the case and ground around in there for a few weeks. I am really happy with the protection offered by the Defender case, with a couple of small caveats. There are too many openings for dust and water to enter the case. I think that my iPad survived so well because I Scotch taped over the speaker, microphone, and front camera before putting it in the case, and duct taped over the same areas after the case went on. Also, the hole for the Apple is totally unnecessary and makes the iPad vulnerable even when the case is all closed up. This was the only thing that could have killed my iPad – I put it inside my backpack with a rock sample and the rock destroyed the plastic over the Apple logo, but miraculously didn't penetrate the case and the iPad backing. I have the Defender case for my iPhone also and that case seems to offer slightly more protection, with fewer holes for dirt to enter, but it still has the silly Apple logo opening. Overall, fantastic product that kept my iPad almost totally unscathed during some pretty rough treatment, but only after I taped up some of the more open areas.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good investment I don't regret ever buying an otterbox case. It has provided the best protection ever on my android. The only improvement they may need is to speed up the delivery system more lol. I have a new Ipad 4 and it's been almost a month since I had my wife order it through her company and still no case has arrived due to a "back order" issue. Yet when I check online it is readily available to ship. Quite contradictory to my wait time lol.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Defender Cover for iPad I was giving my old iPad to my godson (12 yrs old) and he had already dropped and broke an iPad previously. I purchased the Defender Cover for the iPad I was giving him. When he opened the package on his birthday, he was ecstatic. He said "Watch, I can drop it and it won't break." Then demonstrated how good his new iPad was protected by dropping the case and iPad to the floor.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good protection, poor durability I've used Otterbox cases for all of my iOS devices beginning with an iPhone 3G. Without exception they have all given good protection and poor durability. By poor durability I mean that in EVERY instance the port 'flap' covering the dock connector has worn out in from 9 months to a year and in EVERY instance the outer soft rubber covering has become loose and caused the appearance of low quality whenever someone looks at my iOS device. The latest 'breakage' happened today. An Otterbox case I have for my iPad 3rd generation had the port dock 'flap' come entirely free. I'm replacing my iPad 3rd gen (being given to my daughter as a gift today and will be searching for a new case for my new iPad 4th generation. I think I will likely go with Otterbox, but I am not absolutely positive of that. The case starts out looking great and is apparently a good value for the money. It is only after a bit of time has passed that the shortcomings in durability surface. If a better case with respect to fit, weight, and protection were available I'd go for it, but the fact is that Otterbox cases, despite their lack of durability, provide good protection. I just wish they would fix the durability issue. I've attached two photographs showing the problems clearly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The otterbox took a beating. I've had an otterbox on my Ipad 4 for just over a year now. I purchased the otterbox to try and protect my Ipad from my two children. Ages 1 and 2 at the time of purchase. (Now 2 and 3) and they have put this thing through every test. Drops, spills, sneezes, they've stud on it, chewed on it, thrown it, and of course fought over it. After all this my otterbox looks horrible. But, and this is important... My ipad still looks brand new.! I am back to otterbox.com because I am going to replace it. Only because the silicone skin layer is chewed up and stretched out. But after all it's been through, it's held up really well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Withstands a 2 year old terror We purchased this iPad3 case after having our iPad for less then 2 weeks and our son dropped and broke it on our ceramic tiled floors. Thank goodness for Apples plus insurance. After replacing our iPad we quickly bought this amazing otterbox case seeing our previous case (not otterbox) was garbage. We have had it for a year now and we could seriously do a commercial for this case. Our son has dropped the ipad face down on the tile, put it on a slide, spilled water on it, hit it, stepped and danced on top if it (he's about 38 lbs). Believe me when I tell you our iPad doesn't have a scratch on it. You might wonder with all our little taz has done to it why we have let him continue to play with it ... Two things, he loves and learns so much with the wonderful apps and a HUGE second reason is because of this awesome otter box case! We know it will FULLY protect our iPad against anything our little guy will put it through. We have recommended this case over and over to friends, family and strangers who have seen our little guy drop it while we are out. To say this was a great buy is an understatement.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect Case for School and a young child The case that I previously purchased with my iPad2 from another company came with a bluetooth keyboard. It was perfect for taking to class at my university and sitting with my young son watching his favorite videos, until the leather case literally fell apart in my hands. Since I already have an Otterbox case for my iPhone, I wanted something similarly indestructible for my little son's fingers. The new case for my iPad can stand up to late night viewing of PBSKids and lullaby music as well as writing papers and spreadsheets for class. The case was easy to slip on and totally secure for peanut butter coated fingers while being easy to clean with mild soap and water..

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I'm still a believer I love the Defender series. When upgrading each of my phones, the representative couldn't believe how great condition my phone was in. I always received top dollar back for my exchange. When I purchased my iPad of course I purchased the Defender series case. I have multiple sclerosis so I tend to be a little clumsy (dropping things, tripping over things, etc.) I don't worry about my device while it's in the case. I'm giving the Defender series iPad case an 8 ONLY because of the terrible glare from the screen. It doesn't matter what type of direct light, I can't see what's on the iPad screen. So what ends up happening is, I have to take it out of the case. Which is counter productive.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Shield for the new iPad When i first got this i was doubting this thing was gonna be easy to install and it wont protect my iPad at all but when i carefully read the instructions on how to assemble it on to the iPad i was astound! This case really gives your iPad that attractive look and easier to type carry around with. It's a little bulky but getting used to holding your iPad with it is unnoticeable. As you also know the new iPad has a bigger battery and is most likely to heat up making it a little uncomfortable to hold, but this case helps get rid of that warm feeling and fills those sharp side edges on the iPad. I dont kave to worry about dropping this or getting scratches because i love this case, Thanks Otterbox

The stand is very sturdy and I appreciate how I can use it to view my iPad in portrait and landscape mode. I think everything about it is great except for 2 things: 1. It's really heavy 2. The screen protector takes away from the quality of the iPad retina display. If you can look past those two cons, then I would highly recommend it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good choice We manage 140 iPads for students from age 10-14. It has been 8 months since we started the program and I am happy to say that we have had only 1 broken iPad in all that time. We are very pleased with that result. The biggest problem with the case has been the outer shield - the part that covers the glass of the iPad. We have had to replace 45 of them so far and every day there are more. Otterbox has been wonderful about replacing the shields for free. Thank you. We have strict rules in place, also, for the students. They are not allowed to walk around with the iPads in their hands (outside of class). The iPad must be in their backpacks. The shield must be on the iPad when out of class, also.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic Product I had cracked the screen of my iPad once already and was looking for a case with solid protection. This case most definitely provides top notch protection. The outer silicon jacket provides an excellent gripping surface so that it won't easily slip out of your hands. Having a built in screen protection is an added bonus. The only con is that it is difficult to remove the inner case but overall just a minor inconvenience. Now I am quite comfortable taking my iPad anywhere and not having to worry it being damaged.

I highly recommend the ottor box for all of your fragile electronics. They are also a great company to deal with and they truly follow up and believe in giving great customer service.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great protection I work at a Kindergarten thru Fourth grade building and the school had purchased OtterBoxes for the kid's iPads. I have seen kids drop them time after time to no affects, so I decided to purchase one for myself. Great product, just a little bit of a struggle getting it on.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Otter box Defender Series for iPad 2 Excellent case with tight fit and rubber outer skin for extra grip and built-in screen protector that doesn't hamper the sensitivity of the touch screen. Great plastic screen cover that snaps on when iPad is not in use. Cover also has an adjustable kick stand to hold iPad upright in either landscape or portrait mode. Otterbox purchase is a no-brainier when purchasing a new device. Best case on the market period. The extra weight is a non-issue as the piece of mind gained by proper use of Otterbox offsets the weight.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great case I purchased this case and had a bad screen protector. OtterBox warranty replaced it the same day no questions asked. The replacement case is a perfect fit. Screen is clear as can be. The rubber skin fits true and tight. All ports are covered and very secure. I love the color combination looks great on the black iPad. Overall, I would rate this case as excellent.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great design I own two iPads and have each in a Otterbox Defender Case. I purchased the first Otterbox for my iPad mini because I use that device in my work with preschoolers. I wanted to be sure my device would be protected if one of the children dropped it. Fortunately, that hasn't happened yet. I was so impressed with the design and functions of the Otterbox, I bought a second Defender case for my second iPad that rarely leaves my bedroom and protection is not as urgent a concern. I especially like the fact that I can prop and use the iPad in both landscape and portrait orientation. The device is more stable than it was when I used a fold up leather case. The screen cover snaps onto the back of the case when not in use, making it less likely that I will misplace it. The case does add bulk and weight, but that hasn't been a problem, especially with the iPad mini I use with preschoolers. The iPad in the case is bigger than they expect and they are less likely to grab it or get it away from me! Yes, Otterbox cases are expensive, but I think they are worth every penny. I own Defender cases for my iPad, iPad mini and iPhone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Otter Box....really rocks! Not only do you make a superior product; you back it up with service and staff of equal caliber. My case had a mishap, and one of the pieces that enabled my IPad to stand, had broken off. I asked for repair. I received a new case. WOW! No problem. No questions. No hassle. No charge. I complied with the necessary data, and it was in the mail. The courteous treatment during this process from a personable young man, was also duly noted. You run a fine business, and would recommend it highly. Hmmmm....a Company that is willing to stand behind their product and be accountable. Now there's a new concept. I hope this catches on!!! OTTERBOX REALLY ROCKS!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worst product ever I manage all of the cell phone and tablets for a fairly large construction company. We purchased 100+ Otter boxes for all of our devices. So far, I have had to replace about 50% of them, along with the broken devices (30 iPhones, 5 iPads) We have decided to drop Otter Box all together and move to Life Proof cases. They are more durable and are waterproof which is a plus. They also end up costing way less in time and money from having to replace the otter boxes every couple of weeks.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from fast replacement I started using the Otterbox with my students at school shortly after Christmas. One of the students dropped it and somehow it poked a hole in the plastic shield. I went to the web site and put a claim in after reading that the case was guaranteed. It was a bit challenging to take the photos and uploading and submitting....but after I did what they asked they sent me a new case in a very short time. I am very pleased with the guarantee of this product and It makes me feel that the company stands behind their products for quality and durability.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Loveloveloveit I'm not the most subtle person. Usually a walk downstairs turns into a stumble down the stairs. So when I got my new blackberry a year ago, I immediately got the otterbox defender case for it, and loved it. My phone survived falls down stairs, on asphalt and more. I knew when I got my IPad 2 that there was no other case for me then the otterbox, and sure enought this case is perfect. It protects the screen from spills, which has happened more than once, it has also kept my iPad safe from scratches and falls. Otterbox is definetly the way to go.... Now if they could only come up with something for the MacBooks.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I have a Otterbox for all my electronics I started out with a Otterbox Defender for my iPhone a couple years ago. I have accidentally dropped it several times and it has gone with me everywhere. Surprised that I have yet to break the phone or case, I bought a iPad Defender Case. Works great and like the feel of the rugged case in my hands. The case for the iPad get more gentle use. The touch through the screen protector feels natural and smooth. The case does add a little more weight in the hands but like the ergonomic feel. Our household has bought several more Defender cases for other devices to keep them protected from everyday use. The only issue was the cover cracking near the magnet, which I take the cover on and off a lot, daily. I was willing to pay for a new cover; however, Otterbox customer service sent me a replacement, quickly. Exceeded my expectations. I do plan to buy another case when the iPhone 6 comes out. Overall our family likes these cases and feels like part of the device. Ps they build excellent dry boxes for paddling too. Thanks!

I was expecting to have extreme trouble getting any satisfaction. To my surprise the service rep rapidly told me that I simply needed to provide a photo of my damaged Otterbox and email it to them. They would replace it immediately with no additional cost to me. In a time when you feel like you need to wage a battle to the death to get any satisfaction, its nice to deal with a company with enough integrity to simply stand behind their product with pride and not contempt toward any customer who would have the audacity to ask for a company to stand behind the quality of their product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Home button issues My wife has the same case for her iPad Air and loves it. I went and got one for my iPad 3. After putting it together and booted it back up I noticed two things. One, it feels like the screen protector is not flush and tight against the screen. It's like you hear and feel a tap every time you touch the screen. Second, the major issue, the home button is really difficult to use. This is a button I use often, cuz I like to double tap it to close programs. Not to mention any time you wish to return home... I really have to mash in to activate the button. I wish the button was easier to use...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nothing but love for Otter The first time I paid much attention to an Otter Box was when I saw it used on my fav show Psych years ago. I had to have it for my IPad. Now when I am at the beach, by the pool, at the park or on the plane, I am confident using my Pad. The OB is durable, tough, well made, and the company provides excellent customer service -- something unheard of in these current times. It is not "cute" or "glamorous" nor is it "sleek" but I am not looking to impress others...I am protecting my electronic purchase.

I have been using this case for about 3 months and it is Great! I have dropped it once, but it only fell onto the carpet, but I would trust this case if it fell onto a harder surface. The only problem that I have with this case is that the home button is a little difficult to press. Also I think that the price could be just a little cheaper. Other than that I would highly recommend this case to anyone! It is so nice, I have the gray/white.

I made it about 4 miles, @ 45 mph, down the road before I realized that I left my iPad on the roof of my bravada. I pulled over immediately look on the roof and not only did the grip of the case hold my iPad securely to the roof but also the papers I had under it. Otterbox rocks!

It has been one of the best investments ever. I have two children, ages 4 and 6, who enjoy using the IPAD and it is durable and has withstood accidental drops and falls as well as spills. My case has suffered some damage after using it, such as a broken foot as well as cracked cover and lost magnet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best of the cases so far I have three iPads: a 1st gen, an iPad2, and the "new" iPad. Each one is in an Otterbox case. This case is by far the best of the three (Defender Series). The silicone cover no longer stretches and pops off the edges like the iPad2 case does. Just about perfection. I only see four things to improve it: 1. The button is more difficult to press with this case 2. Being able to have the iPad completely vertical in landscape mode 3. Assorted colors, like available for the iPhone would make me purchase another (so I can tell them apart) 4. The iPad2 case with the thick clear cover over the logo I liked better All in all good. Still asking for replacement parts, I.e. covers, silicone layer, etc instead of having to buy entire again when life damages the case (which still protects othe iPad well). Have never had an iPad damaged when in any of these cases, though. I have had a total of 5 iPads with three still in my possession.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Design This product has done it's job. It has protected my iPad from damage when dropped. My little ones play with this iPad all the time and have dropped it more than a few times. The Otterbox received the damage, and I have had to get it replaced twice. The small retainer tab on the corner has broken both times. Don't know how they can make it better.

We all have The Defender on our IPads, which we use daily in the field. We were just issued a new/expensive key board case for our IPads, but it is sitting in my dresser because I refuse to not use my Otter.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Close to "best purchase ever"... ...but lacking a wee bit. I own an iPad4. Obviously, weightier than the new Air. The added weight of the Otterbox is really overwhelming sometimes! It makes me think twice about bothering to bring my iPad with me when I leave home. My only other criticism would be that the protective peice for the power button makes it too easy for the iPad to be swtiched on unintentionally. This aside, the Otterbox, and its warrenties/gaurantees, are really the only good option for this kind of protection. You can't really get what they offer anywhere else. Their product is quite a display of dedication, and I feel confident that my iPad will not be harmed through accident.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love this case!!!! I have used the defender series case for my iPhone and ipad for almost a year now, and won't use anything else! The protection is exactly what I was looking for. I'm not the most graceful gal and mine has withstood bump and bang over and over again. When I occasionally take the case off to dust the cracks and clean the screen my ipad/iPhone still look brand new!! Some people say it's a bit bulky for what they are looking for, but bulky is better than broke!!! You get what you pay for , and after purchasing a ipad why spare the expense to protect it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Protection for ipad for persons with disabilities The Otterbox protective cover has improved significantly. It is stronger and its duration appears as if it will last longer than the previous version. The previous version was very weak and cracked easily. Not only is the new version stronger, it is also very simple to assemble and does not require much for installation. The latest version is much better. Great improvement! However, If the protective cover is being used for frequent travel with a special needs person, greater improvement is yet needed to allow for greater flexibility of using the cover to protect the screen while on the go to allow a special needs person to be able to carry their own ipad.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Unbelieveable Ok, you probably will not believe this, but this really happened. Christmas Day 2012. My son's girlfriend gave him an iPad2 for Christmas. He outfitted it with the Defender series case and we sure are glad he did. She went home to be with her family and he came to our house and then to Grandma's on Christmas Day. We stayed several hours and got back to my house, then he went to his house 30 minutes away. He called and said he could not find his brand new iPad. All kinds of situations played through our heads. Looked everywere, in old wrapping paper, trash, vehicles, the side of the road. He didn't have the heart to tell her he lost the gift she gave him. We all kept hoping it would turn up. The lost ipad feature didn't show it was even turned on. We even put out a reward. Also, thought someone in our family (bad thought), borrowed it without asking. A week and a half went by and it was gone. My husband and I bought him a replacement, so his girlfriend would not be upset. He really is very responsible. A little over two weeks later, one of his students at the school where he teaches called and said he had found it!! He was mowing a lawn not from our house and found it in a ditch!!! The snap cover was off, but the iPad was intact. The student even went back and found the cover. It had rained several times over the week and a half, it went missing. The iPad had small amount of moisture inside the iPad itself. He took it out of the Defender Otterbox and put the iPad in a container of dry rice. The rice would hopefully pull the moisture out of the iPad without any lasting effects. I am VERY HAPPY to say that after 3 weeks in the dry rice, so far, there have been no problems with the iPad. I am thoroughly convinced that without the OTTERBOX DEFENDER CASE, that iPad would not have survived. My son, girlfriend and daughter have iPhones and all are fitted with OTTERBOX DEFENDER CASES. Thank you for a great product. If anyone is considering purchase of the Defender Cases they are well worth the investment.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best case you can buy! The OtterBox Defender case for the new iPad is the best case you can buy! It is able to withstand shocks and drops and keeps out liquids and other debris. I also have an Otterbox for an old iPod and used to take it to the beach every day for years with no issues. The only drawback to the iPad Defender case is that it is really difficult to pull apart. The video demo shown on the website makes it look easy, but it's anything BUT easy to get that thing off the iPAD once it's on.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Used to like it even more I purchased the reflex series cover for my iPad 2. Unfortunately, one corner tore. Otterbox graciously sent me a new cover however, it has had a few changes that I do not like. One, it is noticeably heavier. Two, for me to snap the screen cover into a stand, it takes a lot of effort. To unsnap it, it takes tremendous effort. I really liked the old design so much more that I just may put up with a floppy corner. I love that my iPad is well protected. But, I do not like that it is even more bulky to carry around and ridiculously hard to snap into place to use. I am sure it will break soon.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent option for frequent travelers This case is awesome!! Anyone who sees me with it asks about it. I travel for work all over the globe, so my iPad gets thrown around a lot in my computer bag & just everywhere. I had cracked 2 iPad screens BEFORE deciding to get my Otterbox case. Now over 2years later, not an issue @ all. It does make my iPad a little bit heavier, but the protection it provides is absolutely worth it. I could not live without my iPad. It goes everywhere with me, even if I am not traveling for work. It is how I manage my entire family. I love the cover that converts into a stand with 2 different viewing angles. All of the buttons are protected, but still easily accessible. I am truly a walking /talking commercial for this case & I recommend it to everyone. We just got my 10 year old daughter an iPad mini & she used her own money to buy herself an Otterbox case for it to protect her new mini, since she had heard me talk so much about it. This case is definitely worth the $ to protect your investment.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Product First, Otterbox customer service is top of the line. Quick and simple - THANKS! Second, the product is also top of the line. I use my iPad in the classroom with high school students and at home with a 3 year-old and 4 year-old. This case stands up to use from everyone. I only have one negative comment about the case, and that is the attached screen protector. While I appreciate the purpose it serves, it does not lay taut across the iPad screen. Sometimes I need to tap the screen hard to allow my touch to be recognized. Although it annoys me at times, it's not enough to cause me to go search for another case. Bottom line - this case is high-quality and durable without excess bulk.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Defender Case The design is OK. It is very difficult to disassemble the case. The top cover cracked when I accidently dropped on the wood floor while I was sitting on the bed, it happened 3 months ago. I contacted the online retailer where I bought the case from with the product protection plan, they never responded my email. So I contacted the OtterBox, right away they sent me the new one. As for now, I have not dropped my iPad on the ground yet, it is still in good shape. They need to improve the quality of the cover, it should never crack like that.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Satisfied Customer I started with an Otterbox Defender for my iPhone 4. I liked it but the silicon cover for the charging port ripper Ed after about 9 months. I called to purchase a new silicon piece and was surprised to be told that it was still under warrantee. I received an entire new case!!! When I upgraded to an iPhone 5 I purchased another defender case for it. I was happy to see improvements in the design of the port covers. I had purchased a defender for an original iPad and was very happy with it. When I recently upgraded to a newer iPad I purchased a new defender for it and was very happy to see the same type of improvements in the new iPad case. Great products, great service.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Product..Great Service! Soooooo,..Im on my second Otterbox only because the original wasnt as well constructed. I have a company issued iPad 2 that I was told to purchase a Defender Case for last year. The original was sent to me and it was the wrong case and didn't fit. (This wasnt from Otterbox Directly) Second one that was shipped to me ended up being an older style than I was expecting and I had to get a screen protector as well. After using it for several months I finally had a chance to give Otterbox some feedback on my likes and dislikes and much to my surprise, they sent me an updated Defender! Wow! What great customer service! The ONLY drawback with the new product is I have to remove the stand/cover off the back to take a picture now. Oh well, I think I can overlook this small difference. Thank you Otterbox! I have been a long time customer. You have sealed the deal with me!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Product perfection! Bought the otterbox Defender series for iPad with retina display! We have tried many cases, all useless in some way, that resulted in us having to pay for iPad repairs! This iPad and case were purchased for our son who has communication problems! When he gets frustrated he will occasionally throw things, this case has protected the iPad from throws on a tile floor! Wow! We were so impressed, not a thing wrong with case or iPad. One note, husbands with big hands, just give it to your wife to put iPad in and put back together, will save on the curse words!....lol

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Defender iPad Cases I purchased a Defender Case for my wife's Christmas iPad last year, my daughter liked it so well (over the case she had) I purchased one for her. My 2yr old granddaughter spends 1 - 2 hrs almost daily with my daughter's iPad and the Defender has withstood her messy fingers, some spills and opps drops without incident. I finally purchased my iPad and would not take out of the box until the Defender arrived. I also have Defenders for my personal and work smart phones. I would not use a device without a Defender...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product I'd been using a very slim back-cover and Apple's smart cover for a while, but all the while looking for armor for my iPad. When the last, thin back-cover broke the other day I found the Otterbox Defender at a mall kiosk. I had the salesperson do a demo for me and explain it's features, then put my iPad in for a test drive. I liked the way the entire iPad is encased in good protection, and best is the built-in screen protector. I was worried at first that the screen wouldn't be as clear but those fears were unfounded. I love the way the built-in stand allows me to have my iPad at two different angles in both landscape and portrait mode, and I am very happy with the protection it's providing to my device. It is a bit bulky and does add weight to the iPad, however that's a small trade-off for protection in case I drop it, or someone at work bumps it etc. More color variety would be nice - I got mine in all black and I'm happy with that but there could be a wider range of colors. Great product, a bit pricey but well worth every penny.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Poor Screen Protector I bought this yesterday for my iPad mini and am returning it today. I like the looks of the case and I like the stand but the sensitivity of the screen protector is very poor. I like to use a stylist to keep most of the smudges off the screen but I had to really tap hard on several letters to type anything. I have the same thing for my iPhone 5 and love it so I thought this case would work the same. I do not recommend it. Very frustrating.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic Case Once you wrap your iPad in this case, it will feel like you can carry your iPad anywhere and not worry about dirt, dents, dings, or damaging it. A little tricky to get on but once you unpack it from the package, snap it in place and wrap the silicon slip around it, you can never go back to naked iPad again. Well designed solid protection and worth every penny!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Otter Box delivers as promised. I have tried other iPad case protectors but none came close to the durability and overall superb quality of Otter Box. It is definitely worth the investment. The case is designed to maximize protection without compromising ease of use. After all it's not a question of if, it's how often my iPad will hit the ground. I feel the utmost confidence that Otter Box will allow me to pick up safely right where I left off.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Otterbox Ipad 2 The newly designed Otter Box for the I-Pad is just what the Doctor ordered! It has the comfort of the and style of the IPhone cases and the quality is leaps and bounds above it's predecessor. If you don't have a Otter case for your apple products I highly suggest getting one. You'll never want to live with out it. When ever I take my Iphone or Ipad out of the Otter Box I have flashbacks to that dream of being naked in the High School halls. I never want to leave my phone unprotected.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great purchase This is the second Otterbox I have had for my iPad. The first one had tabs on the stand that broke off after several months of use. I contacted Otterbox. The representative was super nice. She gave me instructions on taking pictures of the damage and how to send the pictures to the company. I followed the instructions and received a new Otterbox Defender case for my iPad in less than a week. This case has a change in design for the stand. Otterbox has proved to me the company is not afraid of making changes to offer a quality product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Otterbox is the best I own a lot of Otterbox products. I own iPhone 4S Defender series case (Glacier white), iPhone 5 Defender series (Black)and Commuter series cases (Punk), 2000 series waterproof case (Black), 3000 series waterproof case (Clear), iPad 3 and 4 Reflex series (Vapor) and Defender series (Black and Crevasse), and latching system for the iPad. I also own a Lifeproof case for my iPhone 5 which Otterbox just purchased Lifeproof. I love Otterbox products. I work in a very unforgiving environment and I like to bring my devices with me. I can take devices out of these cases and sell them as new and you wouldn't even question me. The defender series for the iPad is excellent as you can see I own 2 for both my iPads. I have tried many cases but I always go right back to the Otterbox defender series. It can take a beaten and keep on going. I admit I put this thing through the worst possible conditions. I'm going tell you I have had my Black defender almost a year it still works great except the screen protector came loss. No worries Otterbox being the great company they are sent me a brand Defender series case under my warranty. That why I love Otterbox so much. The case is still functional and will protect but they showed how great a company they are and sent me a new one. I'm tell you some of the stuff my case has experienced. I take it with me to the gym to use when I do cardio. This case has fallen from the treadmill landed the belt and flew across the room hit the brick wall and survived. I have dropped this thing a million times survived. I left it with my 7 year old son for weeks and it survived. The ones that you buy today from Otterbox are even better. Otterbox continue to improve on this case. The new I received under warranty May 23, 2013 and the Crevasse one I purchased May 19, 2013 are even better than my original one I purchased. The screen protecter has improved greatly. It is clear and doesn't affect the Retina display. I admit I'm never taking these cases off ever again. I believe it is worth the money. Otterbox really got it together on this case. Also grab the latching system for the iPad it's a great accessory.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good protection with one caveat I bought this right after I bought my iPad 3rd gen. Although no real review had been done, I took a chance with this case. This was my first case bought from Otter and I have to say that the quality is good and met my expectations. The case is real easy to put together and feels real solid and sturdy in your hand. It seems like it will last for as long as I own this iPad. The only complaint I would have about this case would be the screen protector. That was my only worry after I placed the order for it. Once it arrived and I had it together my disappointment was confirmed: the screen protector, while doing a good job protection wise, takes the beautiful retina display away and creates a rainbow effect. What I decided to do with my case was to take the screen protector out. It's real easy; a little pressure around the corners of the case and it pops right out. I don't use my iPad outside or around areas where the screen might be subjected to abrasions, so I didn't have any worries about doing this. You could always buy a HD or Retina display quality film to replace the Otter protector, or maybe Otter will update theirs in the future. The only other thing that has come up that my partner noticed was that this case does add a bit of weight to the iPad. I've become used to it, but my partner has decided to find a lighter case because of the weight. It's not real significant to me, and I like the solidness of it, but keep that in mind if you're looking for something light.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Designers not paying full attention I cannot use my Square credit card reader with the case on due to the lack of attention to detail by the designers. Sound is difficult to hear due to the case. It makes the iPAD heavy and cumbersome. I recommend with reservations.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from iPad Defender Series Case Finally I feel that my investment is protected! I spent money on a couple of other cases and they were good, but I still didn't feel that the protection and functionality were all there, there had to be a better case. One that gave ultimate screen and shock protection, a case that was sturdy, rugged, and made me feel that I could take my iPad anywhere and use it, after all that is what I got it for. That is what I found in the Defender case, along with other options and ease that impressed me. This is it! It's solid, with the protection that puts me at ease as I use it various conditions that would have made me uncomfortable before, and the various ways that I can sit my iPad in the stand are really nice for viewing and typing, the base is solid, doesn't slip. Then when I'm done flip the cover on and the magnets shut it down, very nice feature. Don't ever alter your quality in products and stay on this course. I will never buy another case from another provider again for any of my BYOD's...Thank you Otterbox...you nailed it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product. Awesome stand. Bulletproof. I am a college student with an ipad2. I work in a bank and commute between work and school daily. As someone who doesn't do so hot with the durability of large glass screens, this Otter Box case does an amazing job at giving me peace of mind that my ipad is always protected. The screen cover that doubles as a stand is by far my favorite feature. I am confident with my ipad in my backpack along with heavy books, that it will not be crushed, scratched, shattered, dented etc... I feel like I could use my ipad as a frisbee playing pass over the grand canyon with this case without consequence. The only bad thing I have to say about this case is that it is insanely hard to get off. I have definitely split a couple of finger nails and uttered some profanities I am not very proud of, just trying to dislodge my ipad from this shield of a case. So if you have a dock or other ipad accessories, it doesn't do very well because of the difficult removal process.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love Love Love (Did I mention Love?) I love the case. It has stood up to a lot of abuse by my 8-year old. And when there was finally a problem, OtterBox very quickly and efficiently sent me a new one. I have never had a warranty process be that easy. My one complaint isn't a biggie- my first case messed up because I had to take the ipad out because dirt did get in the case and removing the silicone stretched it too much and it tore and stopped fitting properly. But it took a long time and several removals before that happened. Great product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best case with best customer service ever Hi all! I had the first ipad defender for the third gen iPad, and it lasted me for a long time, about 2 years, while keeping my iPad in "like new" condition, placed it on a chair in a dr's office, it slid off. I thought, no problem, it's fallen off a sink on a hard tile floor, out of our van onto hard blacktop, been tossed around and handled rough without the slightest problem or crack. This time though, it was not so good, the lid got a chip on one of the tabs that snaps it onto the iPad. I emailed the customer service at otterbox, told them what happened, and after I took a picture of the damage, along with my info, they sent me a replacement for the parts that were broke, including parts that had just broken over time. The new case I received seems a lot more sturdy, a nice texture on the back of the case, and the built in screen protector is made out of better material, so there is no degradation in screen quality with it on, as there was with the first one. I have to say, Otterbox has the best defender for my iPad around, and this last one is better by far than any other I have had. If you want to make your iPad a long long long term investment, get this case, in my opinion, nothing protects it better from occasional mishaps and rough handling. I'd also recommend the security latch to go with it. Makes it easier to hold on to

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great case! I love my Otterbox Defender case. I don't worry about damaging the iPad if I drop it because the Otterbox will protect the entire iPad including the screen. I like that the stand allows you to view the iPad at different angles. The back of it has a material that grips the surface you put it on so it won't slide around or slip out of your hands. It is also one of the few cases where the screen is totally protected even when the cover/stand is not on it. Other cases only protect the screen if the cover is on. The negatives: once it's on, keep it on...it is a pain to undo the clips, it's rather bulky to travel with and if bringing the iPad from a air conditioned room to the outdoors where there is high humidity (in the Caribbean), condensation collects under the case. Aside from the negatives, it is the only case that gives me total piece of mind that if I should drop the iPad while protected in the Otterbox Defender case, it will survive the fall without a scratch!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from iPad Defender Series Case for iPad4 I have an Otterbox Defender case for my iPad mini simply because we have children and accidents happen. So far, so good. I looked into several other cases for my iPad4 and narrowed it down to the Gumdrop Hideaway case and the Otterbox Defender case. I finally chose the Otterbox based on youtube video tests I viewed and the fact that it took some time for Gumdrop Customer Service to get back to me with my questions about their product. I do wish, however, that the Otterbox wasn't so heavy. I've been using my case for almost a month now and also, so far, so good.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very Ill Fitting Built In Screen Protector While the case as a whole is sturdy and protects the iPad, I am very disappointed in the design of the screen protector. I have the Otterbox Defender for my iPhone and am very pleased with it in every aspect. I can't say the same for the Defender for iPad. The built in screen protector for the iPad is very ill fitting and interferes with the touch sensitivity of the iPad. There is just enough space between this screen protector and the iPad screen itself that touch does not always register. I found myself having to "tap" the screen harder to even register touch. Often times it would not even register. This is not a problem with my device itself. I removed my iPad from the Otterbox and had no problems with touch on my device. Without the case, I barely have to tap the screen for it to register. An adhesive film protector for the iPad would be a much better choice than this built in screen protector. There is no touch interference with that. Unless the design changes and the interfering space between the protector and device screen is improved or eliminated, this case is pretty useless and an aggravation. Since I am so pleased with the Otterbox Defender for my iPhone 5, I had high expectations for the quality and performance of the Defender series for iPad. Instead, I am disappointed and surprised at just how terribly designed the screen protector is. If the touch on my device is interfered with it becomes a hassle and for the price of this case there should be NO such problems. This case may be useable for protection in travel but for ordinary use with the iPad it messes up the touch and is not functional. I cannot give a good rating to a case that causes my device to not work properly.
