Save your devices & only use Otterbox!!!
Bought for my 10 year old grandson’s iPad. He’s constantly dropping his iPad and cracking the screen. Thinking I could save a few bucks, I’ve bought off brands stating they’re like otterbox. I didn’t save any money, instead it cost more in device repairs!! Now I will only use real Otter box cases for all our devices! He’s dropped his iPad several times & no cracked screen!!

Great Product
Love Otterbox. Starting from the time it leaves, notifying you, providing tracking and keeping up to date. Upon arrival, the rugged creative box it comes in. When you receive it, talk about Superior Quality and hardcore. I feel 100 percent confident in carrying my IPad with me. Lastly, the top notch Customer Service and Warranty. If you have wn issue, Otterbox has got you. I have had some cases just wear and tear. Otterbox doesn’t tolerate it, sends me a replacement, hands down. You guys Rock!

Horrible
This case has no screen protector as other defender cases usually do. Also, a cheap plastic part broke off the top shortly after I bought it, and customer service for this company is nonexistent. I tried to go through the warranty process online, but it’s unavailable for some reason.

Probably my last Ottebox
The case itself is very protective and secure but there is a fatal flaw in the cover/stand. When the iPad is at the more tilted angle on the stand it is literally hanging by a thread. The slightest movement or pressure causes it to become insecure and fall backwards and sometimes it falls from nothing at all. For the price of these cases, it is simply inexcusable to not have a more secure stand integrated into the cover. My 14 days to return it to Verizon ran out before I realized this was a dealbreaker so I’m stuck with it but I doubt I will get another Otterbox in the future and it used to be my go to brand. I can’t have a $1000 iPad Pro falling flat every time a puff of wind or tap to the table happens. No excuse at this price point.

Excellent Product For People With Mobility Issues
I am a Quadriplegic Wheelchair User With Spastic Cerebral Palsy. As a result, I regularly drop things, so I needed a sturdy case to protect my expensive birthday gift. The Defender Series Pro Case is very easy to grip, and it is designed to protect all of the buttons, etc. on the iPad Pro 11 inch, as well as allow to freely use an access all aspects of the device, without obstruction. Excellent product for everyone, especially people like me.

Rugged but doesn’t prop up
The case is nice and rugged (and heavy, but it doesn’t prop up as depicted in the photos. Notice that the photo shows an empty case, because that is the only way to prop it up. Just as another reviewer mentioned, in landscape view, it will fall down with the tiniest touch, there’s nothing keeping the heavy weight of the iPad from staying up stably. In portrait, it doesn’t work at all. I don’t think they tested this case with an actual iPad inside. It’s pretty frustrating because they could’ve made minor adjustments to the design to fix this. Also, the protective shell is very difficult to remove, and it requires a bit of force, which I prefer not to use on something so expensive and delicate. I do like that I can use the shell for added protection to the screen when transporting my iPad. I also like that I can charge the pencil because of the little hatch. FYI I’ve contacted support a few times and they’ve been unhelpful (they don’t actually listen to what you’re saying and give you generic replies as if you don’t know how to use the iPad and send a link to their YouTube ad).

Almost There
I love the pro series case. My favorite feature is that it excludes the screen protector. I’ve never had an issue with Apple touchscreens scratching or breaking and so the case protecting the body of the iPad and leaving the beautiful screen open was very welcomed.
There is one glaring issue with this $90 case however. The edge of the case where the apple pen could go is incredibly fragile. It feels like I got 3/4 of a case. Three sides of the case are strong but the side where the apple pen could go has nonexistent protection. I might as well tape some cardboard to the iPad. It is flimsy and bends away from the rest of the case incredibly easy. A superior case would have had the same classic otter box plastic and rubber coating around all 4 sides of the case. If otterbox ever decides to design an iPad Pro case like that, I would get that instead. I just got this case and I regularly find the side where the apple pen could go peeling away from the rest of the case. As someone who uses an iPad regularly without any need of an apple pen, I would really like a case without that flimsy side.
If the flimsy side of the case was the same strength as the rest of the case, this would be the perfect case!

Worst purchase and customer service
This is the worst Otterbox cover I have ever had!!!! It is too tight and does not fit !!! I had to press it on so hard I was worried I would bend or worse break my iPad 11 3rd generation. I called you all sent me another, same exact problem so I went to a different brand!! I always stood by and purchased otter boxes hands down, but really I have purchased other items like a phone case , etc which left me disappointed!!! It’s very sad that the quality of OtterBox has just gone down to a generic and nothing to brag about!!! So lucky me I have a pile of junk worth $89.99 of nothing I can use

This is the most pathetic design for a case. The pencil holder breaks and the clips are too small to get it to snap back in! Apple replaced once but now they say that I have to return the case to OtterBox! Terrible service from Apple Store and terrible product from OtterBox! This is not an inexpensive case and I expect more from both companies!

It's ok, but no screen protection
Buyer beware. This product does NOT have built in screen protection. I've always bought defender series for my iPads for the screen protection as well as the drop protection. My kids are always using my iPads and abusing them. One of our dogs sometimes digs at the screen. Defender has always held up. Every defender for iPad I've purchased has had screen protection built in, but this one does not. It is NOT clear on the sale page. On the package it clearly says screenless. It does not say that on the page, so I stupidly assumed it had it. I haven't used it at all because I can't use one without screen protection. I've tried to initiate a return on the website about a dozen times, but the website keeps saying to try again later because of technical issues. I'm very frustrated. So, my main comment would be to please fix the return issue, and make it more clear on the sale page that this armor doesn't have screen protection.

Excellent case
Gives a nice solid feel when using my iPad. I’ve always used this particular case for tablets and have never been disappointed. My only suggestion for improvement would be if there were a way to have more than 2 angles for viewing when using the lid as a stand. I ended up having to buy a third party stand that I bring with me so I can have more angles.

It does not fit. You guys dropped the ball on this one. The back of it hangs down as if it was not measured correctly. The snap on piece on the side is a piece of garbage and doesn’t stay on after a week. I had another one sent due to warranty, and it was worse. There are a bunch of other cases out there that work, but it is NOT this one! It should sell for $6.00!

Terrible design
No, the product has a serious design flaw. There is a long plastic piece on the side that never stays on and will eventually break every time. It is held by two tiny plastic nubs that easily break and render the case very vulnerable to stuff getting in it. The life proof cases were so much better and this company is nothing compared to them. Find a different case you will not like this one.

Just beast mode case
I would have given this case five stars because I do absolutely love it it’s way better than OtterBox was when they first came out years and years ago but the only thing that I don’t like about this case is that the clip is on the side of the tablet and when I put it in my ram mount in my tow truck I Keep accidentally unhinging the clip on the case, like the cases for the phones back in the day didn’t have that issue but otherwise this case is freaking amazing I highly recommend it to everyone and if you’ve ever ridden in a tow truck, you know that tow trucks are bouncy from the Stiff suspension and my tablet gets bounced around all the time and I have not had any damage to it yet, so I really enjoy this case I just wish it was a little bit more affordable like normally anything over $60 for a case it’s just insane I do not think that it’s worth it for what They are selling it for but it is what it is. Definitely worth it to have though

Why Not A Better Apple Pen Holder Design?
The compartment that holds the Apple pen is weak and makes the entire side that it is on not as durable as the other. Otherwise it is a good product. However, the pen compartment situation is a strong enough factor that I would have bought another brand. Especially since I don't own, and probably never with own an Apple pen. Hence only three stars.

Big step backwards in design
This case does not feel nearly as substantial as older versions. The back silicon/rubber part has a tendency to separate from the hard plastic layer along the apple pen holder and also around the circle on the back showing the apple logo. This means that debris can accumulate between the layers and there is a good chance the silicon/rubber backing will pull away further, rip, or stretch throughout everyday use. I wish I had gone with a different brand. Miss the old Life proof Fre cases.

Did you forget the pencil?
I pretty much like this case, but it has definite flaws. Granted, I purchased this primarily for the drop protection, but I thought I was getting something more like my Lifeproof case on my Air2. It’s been on my pad 10 years (used indoors/outdoors, rain, snow, whatever) and there isn’t any sign of dust or water intrusion. Not so with this new case. By adding a flip open door that allows the use of the pencil magnet, but no pencil storage capability (poor planning), the side of this case flexes so much, it offers open door to water and dust intrusion. Not a good design in my opinion, it lacks forethought. Probably because of cost and a disregard for quality of their namesake.

Should be better for the price
I have owned 3 I-pad cases & 2-iPhone cases over the years. They are all defender models. The protection is phenomenal. I can’t tell you how many times I have dropped my phone/iPad with absolutely no damage.
Now for the reason for only 3-stars. With the top cover (lid) on, it’s so tight that it is VERY,VERY DIFFICULT to remove it. I can’t tell you how difficult it is if you have arthritis in your fingers, plus the broken nails trying to open it. Also the same lid has two positions to hold the iPad in a horizontal position. The lowest position is fine, but the higher position doesn’t hold the iPad securely & it keeps falling over.
Such a disappointment since the protection is so good. For the price of the case it shouldn’t have these problems.

Great Case If You Don't Have a Pencil or Car Mount
I'm not the ideal customer for this product since I haven't bought a case for any cell phone or tablet I've owned since before 2007, except when it's been absolutely necessary. But when necessary, like in this case with my iPad Pro that I take around with me in my Jeep for navigation, I remember and chose the Otterbox because it has served me well in the past.
However, since it's been so long since I bought a good case for any handheld device, I forgot how big they can (and probably need) to be. This case is so large that it makes it impossible to dash-mount my iPad with it on, limiting the usefulness of it to only times when I'm using it outside of an office or my Jeep, which isn't too often. It's still worth keeping it for those times, so basically I carry it with me in my backpack in case I need it. I think it will work well for its purpose, but I'll probably never know.
It gives you decent access to buttons, considering how well it protects your iPad, but the Pencil cover that gives you access to charge your Apple Pencil on your iPad seems like a stupidly designed after-thought. It honestly severely compromises the structural integrity of that side of the case. I really doubt it would protect your iPad at all if you actually dropped your iPad on that side when the Pencil is not there and only the cover is there.
The cover is very, very difficult to take off, so even if they left the Pencil cover out of the design to improve protection, it would be nearly useless to people who have the Pencil, because you simply don't want to struggle taking it off every day or two to charge your Pencil. Taking it off every day would be like wearing galoshes and boots every single day and having to wrestle them off just to rest your feet -- not fun.
I think given all the shortcomings of this cover as mentioned, they should focus future designs on improving the ease of putting on and taking off the cover. Maybe use more thick rubberized parts that can be easily removed? The plastic parts are ridiculously hard to figure out how to remove, like some kind of puzzle that I never asked for. The outside rubber cover you put on after putting the plastic case on is much, much easier to remove and put on, once you learn how to do it.
With zero documentation included, I had to look up a YouTube video to learn how to remove this case from my iPad. That should tell you how badly designed this case is.
But, I think it will protect my iPad handily ... as long as I don't drop it exactly on that side where the Pencil goes. With all this being said, I'm sure it will do a better job protecting my iPad than the Apple trackpad/keyboard combo case/cover. I shattered the screen of a previous iPad by dropping it on its corner with that cover on.
However, ironically, I'm sure because of how rarely this case will be useful, I'll use the Apple cover a lot more often.

Good Looking Protective Case But With A Catch
The case fits my iPad perfectly. I got it for the protection and I think it should be enough. It's one of the few cases that look good on the iPad if you don't have an Apple or any stylus pen because it won't look like something is missing because the pen holder can be left in a hidden position. It's also one of the few cases that has a stand that supports a portrait orientation which can be useful for reading. The only problem I have with it is the way it is put together for its price. I don't know if the case is expensive because of the quality of materials used or just because of the brand name. It has not been a month yet and the soft rubber part on the pencil holder side is coming loose already and that is just not acceptable for a $90 case. I'm only giving 3 stars because I think it will at the very least protect my device and the other features I mentioned earlier.

Truly Deceptive Packaging Copy
This product states on the packaging "Storage For Apple Pencil" when it is no way provides encasement for Apple Pencil, merely providing a hinged plastic flap to allow ACCESS ONLY to your Apple Pencil when docked to the side magnetic charging strip. This is a clear case of Otterbox disleading customers, or at the very least obfuscating facts, about the actual product, and over-extend the functionality of this product. The product in no manner holds or encases the Apple Pencil whatsoever. So, if you buy this, what you get is a protective case for your iPad Pro, which leaves the attached Apple Pencil unprotected and exposed, with a hinged plastic flap dangling below it. How Otterbox could allow this packaging copy is a false representation of the actual product on offer, and can only be taken as an effort to induce purchase by overstating the actual function and use of the product. On this basis alone, I will no longer buy an Otterbox product and suggest you avoid this company.

Disappointing…
I’ve been using OtterBox cases for years. This case matches their usual quality, ease of use, and protects my tech—I’ve already dropped my new iPad more times than I would like to admit.
Unfortunately, I don’t see the same enthusiasm or attention to detail in this product as I have in the past. First, I was disappointed in the lack of color options. The black case does the job but I got to mix and match colors for my last case, which felt very special. More importantly, the stand doesn’t work at all. The stand is such an important feature to this case, that without it, I wouldn’t recommend purchasing this product.

Good but could be better
Bought this a month ago, and works great but could be more. Ex. more colors and better stand for viewing positions.

Needs more stand angle options.
I’m rating it 4 stars only because there is only one angle to stand it up on, it needs atleast 3 in my opinion, but other then that it’s an amazing case!

Design almost there
The part that frames the iPad is great. The easel not so great. The iPad often slips when in the upright position. I do like that I can cover the iPad completely when traveling, but the easel design needs a little work.

Well made
Well made protector. 3 main pieces: hard cover, hard wrap, soft wrap. Holds iPad securely. Should survive a fall/drop.
