Rated 5 out of 5 byLong Island from Superior ProtectionAll of my Apple products use Otterbox Defender cases so when I bought the newer iPad Air I knew I wanted this case.What I love about this case is that it has the cover which acts as a stand + encases the iPad when traveling + there is a clear plastic film that helps keep dust & dirt from getting directly onto the screen. The only place I could find this particular case was directly from Otterbox.You cannot go wrong with Otterbox.

Rated 5 out of 5 byNord from Best protection for tablets and phonesI picked this up quite recently as I finally upgraded my iPad mini to a larger iPad. I have used Otterbox for almost all of my phones, especially since I started using iPhones, and I’ve never had a reason to complain or to doubt my devices being protected. I still don’t.This case fits the iPad perfectly and provides the protection I wanted as well as peace of mind when using it carrying my tablet with me. It even has a latch covering the side that allows access to connect and charge the Apple Pencil(iPencil?.Overall, I am quite happy with my purchase and will absolutely be using/purchasing other Otterbox products in the future depending on need.

Rated 5 out of 5 byAl Muerza from Great protection, not so great standYeah OtterBox case itself is awesome you could probably drop this thing from 10 feet on the corner and it would survive. The problem is the stand, it is not adjustable you’re either using it nearly vertical or nearly flat somewhere in the middle would’ve been nice.

Rated 5 out of 5 byEric from It’s an OtterBoxIt’s exactly what you expect an OtterBox case to be. Don’t make the same mistake that I did, the case comes with a screen protector and you won’t need the tempered glass. All in all, a rugged case.Feedback for OtterBox:Ditch a crappy screen protector and use the tempered glass like you’ve done with some cell models.

Rated 5 out of 5 bySkillett from Not expectedI have the original iPad and the first iPad Air that are equipped with the defender cases. From day one they’ve been in the cases and recently I took them out and as expected, not a scratch, dint or crack on either one. I purchased a new iPad Air GEN4 and of course, time to equip it with a defender case so I ordered one. I should have looked closer and realized they have designed the case differently so it is in part my fault, but the case is not like the old ones. The new case has a compartment for the Apple pen. Good concept, but it’s a cheap thin plastic door on the side that will not last. With the door removed almost the entire side of the iPad is exposed. Just opening it, it fell off and I had to snap it back on. Both of my old iPads have lasted through two kids and the new iPad was intended to be for my youngest child. I do not have confidence in the new defender case to hold up and protect the iPad the way previous models have. Otter box needs to do away with the cheap plastic door that pops off and my child will loose or come out with another completely sealed case like previous models.

Rated 5 out of 5 byJust right from Fits perfectI had an Otter box for my iPad Air 2, and it kept my iPad pristine. So when I got a new iPad I bought another Otter box to take care of my new iPad.

Rated 5 out of 5 byNeonedgewater from Great, classic otterGreat product very safe. Would have loved to seen a better integration for the Apple Pencil. I fear when I have it on it may slip off because of the design. Top cover is a bit overkill but you don’t have to use it that much. Only complaint really is the screen that comes with the otter product. It’s glued into the plastic and creates a bubble between my other screen protector when drawing. Totally understand the otter box is not an artist’s case. Would love to remove the stock plastic protector and just have mine on top that is bubble free etc.

Rated 5 out of 5 byiPad Kid from Really like this OtterBoxHave purchased numerous OtterBox’s for my son’s iPads over the years (as he’s pretty hard on them. This new one was perfect for his new iPad. Was easy to put on. Highly recommend this model, it has plastic protector for the screen as well.

Rated 5 out of 5 byCarwriter1 from Don't Leave Home Without ItThis is the fifth OtterBox case I've bought over the years to protect my devices - 2 iPads, 2 iPhones, and an iPod Touch. In fact, when I get a new device, I won't use it until it's safely encased in an OtterBox. My devices get used hard, and I've never cracked a screen or had to repair a device. Coincidence? I think not.

Rated 5 out of 5 byNo nickname from Great projection but very poor access to Apple PenHave used the Defender about a month. Great protection but trying to remove the Apple Pencil is tricky. The best way is to push down on the pencil point while pushing the pencil.

Rated 5 out of 5 byHappy Owner from Great Way To Protect iPad Air and Apple PhonesWe just updated our iPhones and iPad Air, the first thing we looked for was new Defender Series Cases, we were so satisfied with the previous Defender Cases that protected our Apple phones in the past for five plus years. If you tend to occasionally drop your phone or iPad or not this is a wonderful purchase

Rated 5 out of 5 byELIZ from Still love the OtterboxI have bought many defender cases and always loved them. This one is also great. It has a large enough lip around the camera that now sticks out on the IPad. The case is still well made with it’s hard and soft cases together. The missing star is for the not up to par design of the IPad pencil storage cover. The cover does not open and close as it seems to be meant to do. It either comes off or clicks on. This means either my pencil is on the IPad or my cover is on, but not both. Otherwise, the cover is great and protects things well so far.

Rated 5 out of 5 byJann from Otter is the bestI always buy Otter products for my iPhones and iPads. You can always count on the durability and quality of their products. I have dropped both my iPhone and iPad and always protected. My son has dropped his phone and so far has had to buy three new screen savers because he didn’t have an otter. It may be heavier in weight but my iPad is more important this product can take a hit big time!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 byCarlos from Great protection for IPadI use my IPad a lot, and this case offer a great protection and its very easy to grab and to work with it. The down is that it make the IPad a bit heavy, but I don’t mind because I’m getting a superb protection all around it, even for traveling, just put the case cover on and it will protect the screen as well.

Rated 5 out of 5 byAdam from Rushed To ProductionI have enjoyed the Defender line from Otterbox on all of my devices over the years however, this case is something else. The plastic halves that snap together up by the sleep/wake button does not mesh together properly, there is about a 2mm gap between both mating surfaces. Secondly, on the back of the case where the rubberized shell wraps around the case by the logo is bumped out leaving an edge to catch your finger on that will surely fray over time. This could have been avoided by making the plastic shell flush with the outer casing.

Rated 5 out of 5 byShea1983 from Good with a flawI bought this exact case for my sons iPad mini 3 years ago and the case has been fantastic. The iPad is still in great condition. Naturally, I decided to buy this case for my new iPad Air. My only complaint is the latch/cover for the Apple Pencil charging spot. It’s constantly falling off and allows dust and other debris to get into an otherwise sealed case. I’ll be returning it because of that.

Rated 5 out of 5 byRobert from Glad I read the reviewsI'm very glad that I read all of the reviews. I have always purchased otter box cases for all of my iphone's and ipad's, and have been very happy with the level of protection in a dirty harsh environment. But for the new ipad air 4 that i just purchased, I guess that I will look for another option. I really don't need the hassle of things falling off and dirt getting inside the case. Kind of defeats the whole purpose of the protective case. Thanks for the very informative reviews.

Rated 5 out of 5 byMisty from Most dependable productI have made numerous purchases for protective gear for my iPads, which we have 6, and our iPhones, which we have 2, and all have been the otterbox defender series. This product is beyond a doubt, the most reliable, protective and worth every cent spent. My daughter has had her first ipad for 5 years and it still looks brand new, thanks to this product. Highly recommended.

Rated 5 out of 5 byMaDiv from What was expectedReceived the Defender case and it is the same basic design but still very different from previous versions. The case is sturdier, heavier and fully accommodates the iPad Air. Nice allowances for speakers, charging plugs, Touch ID button and iPad pencil charging. I do have a little difficulty separating the two pieces but it should get easier as it’s more used.

Rated 5 out of 5 byEsanghae from Worst iPad case I’ve ever purchased.I have had a defender series case on almost all of my iPads and have loved it up to this point. The iPad Air 4 has an almost fatal flaw where the Apple Pencil connects. This case leaves this area almost completely exposed. The flimsy door over this area has come off twice now and the main frame of the case/rubber bumper provides little or no protection/stability. My other issue is I use my iPad to watch movies. I do very little work on it and do not own an Apple Pencil. Having this door does nothing for me but create an area where my case dose not protect my iPad. I really wish there has been two versions of this case. One with the door and one without. Extremely disappointed in this case.
