Tough stuff...maybe too tough
Strong, durable case that gives me peace of mind about protecting my iPad. However, the screen protector makes it difficult for the touchscreen to respond to my finger. I even adjusted the touch sensitivity of the iPad, and it's still difficult and takes multiple attempts before it accepts my touch.

I love all my OtterBox products.
I have defenders on my phone and tablet. They protect them all, even on the construction site. The only issue I had with my purchase was FedEx and the time it took to get to me. I know it was the holidays but looking at the travel history it would have been faster to use the Postal Service.

This case is the best option available for someone looking for a rugged case that doesn't add much bulk to their iPad. I feel confident it'll protect my entire iPad from getting scratches and from drops. Definitely worth purchasing!

I got a new iPad and needed a good cover. I wanted something that would last. I have heard great things about otterbox. I have tried some of the other brands and have not been happy. I love this cover. I have 2 grand daughters who love to use my iPad and now I don't worry about them dropping it. It has a cover on the front that can be taken off and and used as a stand in 3 different positions. I would recommend this to everyone.

Piece of Mind
I bought this case about 6 weeks ago. The tough quality is what I've come to expect from Otter Box. I work in construction and use my iPad often for work. I have a tendency to smash screens if they aren't protected so this case is perfect. The only thing that bugs me about the design and I'm not sure how they'd change it is I wish there was a place on the iPad case to hold the apple pencil other than the cradle. Years ago I had a PalmPilot that had a pen storage built in. It was great. This is a fantastic case. Worth the money.

For active people!
A super tough case. Design, fit and finish are superb. I have always purchased Otter boxes, the Defender case, for all my Apple products and have it never has never let me down.
This ipad commutes with me by bike to work in my panniers and I need protection from vibration and the jostling of going from street to office and I have confidence that this will keep my new iPad in perfect condition like my phones and previous ipad. I mountain bike with a phone in a defender case for years now and the phones have never been damaged.
The cutouts for speakers, cameras and sensors are perfect. One minor issue would be the screen protector; it will eventually scratch up and make viewing a bit murky. But this is from constant use. When this has happened before I'll remove it (and the adhesive) and use a third party screen protector.
I use the Apple pencil for my job creating illustrations and the surface feel is fine, a little drag but it makes it feel more like a paper surface than the glass. I like it.
One last comment is that the case is heavy but well worth the protection.

Provides great protection
The cover protects my iPad Pro very well. I see no lose of screen control through the screen protector cover. I recently replaced an older iPad because the memory was no longer large enough. I had used a Otter-box cover on the older iPad and liked it so much that I immediately purchased another for my new iPad Pro (10.5-inch). Great product!

Perfect, as expected from Otterbox
This Defender for the Apple IPadPro 10.5 is perfect as expected. I replaced a 2012 IPad protected by Otterbox, and the IPAD was in Mint condition, after falls, rain, drops, and constant use. Otterbox definitely verifies the phrase, "You get the quality you pay for"!!!

Very protective case
I have had this case on my old ipad 2 and wad very impressed, even though the case became tired the ipad was like new after 5-6 years solid use, so naturally I bought another case for my new ipad and have once again been more impressed.
It does away with having a peel on screen protector as it's already built in, the case is stronger than the ipad 2 version as less brittle and its lighter.
All cameras and button work very well with thr case. Only negative bit is can be fiddly to remove charger and head phones. Unless you are one of those that pulls the wires.

Past Were Better
I have the OB Defender for my iPhone 6s and my iPad mini. I am not a fan of how the screen protector moves as it's not 100% against the device screen, so I typically remove it.
On this new one, a difference seems to be the rubber on the back doesn't seem to fit the plastic shell perfectly. There's a little movement if you press down on the back as thought there's a gap between the plastic and the rubber. Mine is off just a bit above the opening for the apple logo.
I would recommend this for protection, but fitment seems to be a bit off.

As usual, heavy duty protection for an expensive I
This is my fourth or fifth OtterBox defender purchased to protect and expensive piece of technology. I have never been disappointed nor have any of my devices been damaged. The only downside to this version is that there is no place to put the Apple Pencil. There are some aftermarket items that will allow me to keep the pencil with the device. I also have OtterBox on my phone and know that I've never suffered any damage to any of those phones as well.

Wouldn't leave home without it
I ordered this before I bought my new iPad Pro. I wouldn't use the iPad until I had it in the protection of the otter box case. This is my fourth defender case, two for iPads & two for iPhones. I love the protection it gives, & I'm happy to say that it works great with the I-Pencil. I also love the holder inside the cover for the I-Pencil. The stand lift up piece for my old iPad otter box case had broken about 2-years after I bought it. My only concern with the new defender case, is that the lift up stand is not as thick on the new iPad Pro otterbox case. I guess I'll have to be more careful with it.

Good protection but poor touch usability
Very good fit and same protective benefits as I am used to with Otterbox Defender cases I have on 2 iPhones and an iPad Mini. This feels less bulky than the smaller devices but it could just be a scale difference. Only complaint is that typing on screen has become maddeningly frustrating. I can't seem to use the keyboard with my thumbs in landscape mode. I have to lay iPad down and type as on a keyboard. Not sure if it's the angle of my thumbs or what. I can reach over using my left hand to strike a K or L when my right thumb can activate after several tries. I do have a screen protector installed underneath the Otterbox, but that's the same on all my devices. Not sure yet if I will keep using this or not.

Good, but with some issues.
I purchased my new IPad Pro 10.5" on release day, then waited patiently for this case to be released almost TWO WEEKS LATER, fail. My new iPad sat in the box for two weeks before I could safely use it.
On to the actual case:
This is my 5th Otterbox case on an IPad or Phone, I am a big fan of the protection. The case fits my device very well, but this is not Otter's best effort due to these issues:
As usual, the screen protector is junk, I removed it and run a tempered glass protector instead, fits great.
The snap on cover is very thick (likely only to allow for Apple Pencil storage, that I will never use) and because there is open space it allows the stand on the inside to rattle as I move the pad or sometimes type. Fixed with some foam tape strips.
The charging port cover is a poor design compared to my IPad Air case, likely due to the fingerprint home button needing to be exposed. The port cover has to be bent beyond 90 degrees towards the front the charge or plug in accessories. This will tear the rubber eventually, if it starts tearing I will slice it off with an xacto knife before it ruins the case. You can't open the port cover with the snap on cover in place on the back of the case.
When the cover is snapped on the back it partially covers the volume up button, an adult's fingers have a hard time pressing it.
That being said, I would buy this case again tomorrow. I really like the little bit of recessed area on the bezels when in landscape, they add some grip. I generally run my iPad for 2-3 generations, so I hope the snap on cover and lightning port cover are up to the task.

Worth every penny. I can finally hand off my iPad to my young kids and not worry about them damaging it. It's very apparent how much effort went into developing this product. It's a precision unit and fits perfectly. Truly amazing product. The main reason I purchased it was to use on my boat as a navigation device (iPad) in the Gulf of Mexico where the salt water and elements are brutal to say the least. Now, I can use my iPad at the helm without worry. Thank you!

Excellent Case.
This case for the iPad Pro 10.5" seems protective and is relatively light and not overly bulky. The Apple Pencil did not work well with the plastic screen protector so I removed it and added an IQ Shield glass screen protector. This screen protector works with the Apple Pencil and the case fits around it nicely. However the case is very pricey.

This case is very well made and I am confident of its ability to protect my new Ipad! The parts align precisely and the opening/closing of the outer unit is smooth. It is bulky, but protection comes at a price. My only criticism would be the stand rattles a little bit when carrying the unit around, but this is really a minor issue.
I was reluctant to spend the money this unit cost, but it is well worth it. I am willing to spend a little extra to get quality when it is warranted, and the protection of my high priced Ipad was not something I was going to go cheap on. I am so happy I did!
I have only had this case a short time, but I am confident it will last as long as I have my tablet.

Better than expected
I confess: I have a bad history with phones and iPads. Most recently, a hotel maid accidentally threw my iPad to the ground, shattering its screen. When I invested in my new iPad Pro I researched the market for the best option out there. As a tech consultant for the last thirty years, people are usually asking, not telling me what to do. Otterbox has been the acknowledged leader in protection for years, but I have always been concerned about the weight and form factor. So I was expecting to be slightly disappointed. But it did not happen. The case was easily installed - no problem with fit for my 10.5 inch Pro. The cover is a little tight snapping on, but that has reassured me that it will not fall off. The cover also stores my pencil le which is a great feature. In addition, the cover's ability to serve as a multiple position stand and to clip on the back of the iPad when it is in us makes it less likely for me to lose it. So - the weight. It does change the feel of the iPad. But I like it better! It now has substance. I have to hold it firmly and I am convinced it may even make me less likely to drop it. It has already fallen a few times with NO damage and although I now use it so much, I will likely never leave it where a maid could accidentally knock it off a table, I sure that if she did it would survive the fall!

I bought this case 2 weeks ago and I ALWAYS buy Otterbox cases for phones, Ipods etc. It just so happens this Ipad came out earlier this year I guess and there wasn't any REALLY good cases for this Ipad. When I bought this Ipad and the retailer didn't have any for my size Ipad. Just the other size Ipad (I can't figure that one out) But anyway no complaints. The case is excellent and the cover piece that substitutes as a stand is an excellent idea. It's cool.

Highly Durable!
I bought the Defender case for my iPad because I’m always throwing it around and need some solid protection for it. The lid has a storage spot for the Apple Pencil and holds everything well.
The only cons: the rubber flap for the lightning connector is quite firm and difficult to push far enough out of the way to accommodate the cable or Pencil. Unfortunately this creates significant physical strain on the port and whatever else might be attached, and I’m concerned that this will have a long term impact.
Personally, I dislike the built in screen protector. It does not feel natural with the Apple Pencil, and the Touch ID covering makes unlocking a challenge. In fact, I used a scalpel and a bit of rubbing alcohol to remove the OtterBox screen protector from the reverse side of the front plate and used a ballistic glass screen protector (from Tech Armor) on the device instead. The combination of the two is far superior in my opinion, and forms a robust seal and better experience.

Well Worth The Money
I got a new iPad because I cracked the screen on the last one, so this time I decided to invest in a OtterBox because it's simply the best case to have if you're clumsy like me. It protects all the way around the iPad and has the built in screen protector. And my favorite part of it all is the stand that holds it different was and even amplifies the sound when its place in the vertical position. By far the best money I've spent in a while.

great protection, perfect fit
fits new ipad air perfectly. Very durable, bought based on experience with same model for iphone which has hit the floor multiple times and survived.
only drawback was I had to remove the face screen as ipad didn't always function through the otter screen. Ones removed, works perfectly. absolutely recommend.

Really great purchase
I bought this case as soon as I ordered my new Ipad Pro. This case fits almost as snug as the phone cases I have purchased through Otter-box. It protects and the outer shell holder serves its purpose also. I can watch movies and everything while being protected and having a sturdy holder. I would definitely recommend this case. My only gripe is that at the time or ordering my case the only color in stock was black on black.

Nice case, I like the kick stand and the spot to hold the Apple Pencil. Really feels like it will be able to withstand the daily use in my woodworking shop, and my two kids. Only thing I would change is how the cover comes on and off. It takes some getting use too, but no big deal.

Perfect fit - a great case with perfect function.
I have used the defender series on previous units and was dismayed to see that it was not available at the release of the 10.5" iPad. OtterBox did a speedy job of getting them into production and I had my unit just a bit over two weeks after my new ipad arrived. Although the protection adds a little thickness and bulk to the unit I find it to be easier to hold and handle that the naked unit. The two alternate stand options, video viewing and the slightly elevated computer use form to be great. My most important feature is the protection it affords. I use this unit in every possible situation and I am NEVER concerned that it might be damaged. My new iPhone seven (someday soon) will be the next recipient of the OtterBox functional protection. Great product, great company!

Very protective case!
I use iPad to video pole vaulters at practice and meets as well as for personal access to email, etc. The device is outdoors regularly and in the hands of "not so careful" athletes who like to see themselves vaulting. I protect the device itself against regular drops, rough treatment and weather, with Otterbox Defender. It's a solid case and have never had issues or damage with it. FYI: the touch screen and home button work great with the Defender installed. Whenever I have had case problems, Otterbox has come to the rescue. Highly recommend.

I bought this for my dad and he loves it. Provides great protection for the iPad and the two positions means he doesn't have to hold it all the time which is really important for him. Only reason I deducted a point is that it is slightly heavier than normal cases and I thought it said there are four positions with the stand but I can only figure out 2

Tough case and practical.
I bought this for the toughness to take around in the van and onto job sites. I like the tough case and the seals for power and headphone jack. The case/stand is very handy with the pencil holder and various position holders. I rated as 3 because they did a good job giving seals for the ports yet the speakers, mic and camera are left with no cover or seals. I have to work out how to keep them safe from the job site dust and occasional splash. I understand that a cover of those areas would inhibit their use, but I bought the case to protect the iPad not so it sounds great in the lounge and to take great pictures to publish in a magazine. An understandable trade off. They added a see through cover for the screen and apple logo so they could have done it.

I have had a otter box on my I phone for years and when I found out I could get one for my pad I was happy. I drop things due to a health issue and so far so good. The only thing I was disappointed with it is harder to plug in the charger and turn the power button on and off. But I would buy one again in a heartbeat.

One word! Excellent!! Love everything about it! From the two position support for the iPad while working on it, or watching it. The pen holder on the inside was a surprise! Keeps everything protected and safe. I am not afraid of drops, falls, getting knocked around or two and three year olds running around with it! In my line of work things get knocked around a lot! My iPad and phones look like they did the day I bought them! Opened them up out of the box and straight into an Otter Box! I have used every kind of case out there, until I found the Otter Box! Everything I have is in a Otter Box or Pelican cases! Keep up the Excellent work Otter Box! Plus you get a sticker to put on a road case!

10.5 outter box defense case for IPad Pro
I bought this as a replacement for the 3 IPAD Air’s I had purchased for my 3 grandkids ages 2,4, and 6. They held up great there now 6,8, and 10. So I bought them new IPad Pro’s. The case is a little bit thinner then the other IPad defense outterbox cases so will see how they hold up only bought 1 black one for grandson. Waiting now going on 4 weeks for the other color for my grand daughters forgot the color name but the purple color. Only had to replace my grandsons case in the last four years at Christmas time his was starting to get tears in the vinyl but great cases if you want to protect them would recommend them to anyone especially if your buying a IPad for children

I have used several Otter Boxes and like them.
Unfortunately, the new Otter box I bought for my new iPad Pro doesn’t really work
in that to use the new keyboard that I purchased for the iPad requires the back of the iPad to be open to connect to the keyboard. With the Otter box on, the connection cannot be made. Your choice is an Otter box or an extended keyboard.

Great case
Have had the case for about a week or so and have loved it. I know that everything has to be thin these days but this iPad is too thin in my opinion. So with the case makes it feel good in my hands and not as scared about dropping it. The face shield/stand is also very nice and comes with an Apple Pencil holder which in my opinion is one of the top features of the case. However there is one con when putting the case on the first time. Trying to keep both the iPad screen and the otter box screen clean is a bit of a pain. Not going to knock off a star for this because every case/screen protector is this way. Overall great purchase, definitely worth the money!

Always Can Trust Otterbox
Received my Defender Pro as I call it, a couple of weeks ago. Protects with no problems. Feels sturdy and not cheaply made. I wanted to preserve the "fresh out the box" new product feel. This Defender will help my iPad last a lot longer over time as far as hardware goes (no cracked screens, bumps that create pixelated screens, scratches on the back, fingerprints everywhere,etc).

I ordered this as soon as they become available for iPad Pro 10.5". As always, the Otterbox defender cases are great protection! The new iPad Pro 10.5" is a great product, but is extremely lightweight and thin. Until the Otterbox Defender cases were available, I was concerned about dropping it and breaking it on our hard floors. I have used Otterbox cases on both of my iPads and iPhones. They are outstanding cases and I would recommend them to anyone!!!

What I've come to expect
I've owned quite a few otter boxes over the years with different phones. Never once have I had suffered the consequence of "whoops". The case itself is tough but not cumbersome and the added shell is a bonus. The rubber stoppers on the bottom of the shell allows me to set it up on about any surface and not have to worry about pushing the ipad away when i go to touch it. If you've got a device and need a case, you can't do better than Otterbox.

Great protection for my iPad Pro. Why I gave it only a 3Star the on off button is a struggle to turn my Pro on. It was such a hassle I took the rubber protection of. I should have return the unit. But throw all the wrappings. All my other otter case was a 5Star execpt this one for my iPad Pro.

Solid Protection
This is the second Otterbox case I have purchased for an iPad. It not only provides solid protection for iPad but also allows for easy use of the iPad controls including the touch screen. The previous iPad and Otterbox lasted four years with no problems. I got the most money for my iPad at Apple trade in because the Otterbox protected my iPad and it looked brand new! My iPad spends a lot of time outdoors in the Oregon rain and Otterbox definitely provides the protection it has to have. For me, the $90 was well worth the price.

8th Otterbox
This was my 8th Otterbox and I am waiting for a new one for an iPhone. The last damage I have to an iPod, iPad, or phone was before I purchased my first Otterbox. The only negative thing I could say about them is that it would sometimes be helpful to have 3 hands when opening the case every 6-12 months to clean the dust that gets in through the openings.

I bought this to give rugged protection and my husband wouldn't have anything else! He even slips his Apple Pencil in the cover and it stores it perfectly, even the Apple team members in the store were impressed. I can't wait for Otterbox to come out with the symmetry starry night for the 10.5 for my own, I loved the 9.7. It was perfect! The only thing this case doesn't do is offer access to the Smart Keyboard ports on the side. We are Otterbox believers, best product out there! My husband drove over his phone with his F150 and it only cracked the screen.

iPad case
Purchased for my wife’s new iPad Pro. Excellent quality. Perfect fit. Only minor issue is that the mechanism that props up the tablet only has 2 fixed positions. So it’s not as versatile as some other models. Still recommended.

Robust Case With great Fit and Finish
I use my 10.5" IPad Pro primarily as a GPS mapping device in my work as an off-road adventure guide. It is hot, dusty, muddy, and bumpy. This case certainly fits the bill, protecting this very important piece of equipment. I am very happy with my Otter Defender case. It was easy to mount the IPad Pro into the case, and although a little bulkier with the case on, it is still not overly so. The responsiveness of the screen seems unaffected by having the case in place. I use an IPad Pencil as a stylus and it works great as well. This version of the IPad Pro does not have an audio plug-in so the only plug is for the lightening jack. The rubber flap that covers this opening is substantial and stays in place.

Accept nothing less than the best
I am a self confessed "Otterbox Snob". All of my Apple products are safely tucked into Otterbox cases. I appreciate the exceptional protection these cases give to each one.

Excellent Case As Always
I have been a long time user of Otterbox Cases to protect my valuable portable devices in pristine condition. This is the first purchase I make after my new iPad or iPhone. I had to order direct this time as there were no Otterbox cases available in New Zealand! As always, I am very happy with my purchase.

This is my third Defender case. It displays my iPad in the variety of ways I use it. It's lite enough to take everywhere and of course protects against damage.

No crashes yet - Awesome detail and fit
Otter defender 10.5: Seems to be a great case and device protector. Very much attention to every detail. Hope never use to its full potential - like a spor-tbike helmet.

Only the Best will do
When i purchased my new device i new there was only one case I could trust to ensure total protection, that is the Otterbox Defender. It wasn't readily available at the time of my device purchase, however, I patiently awaited it's release. I only use otterbox for all my devices.
I love this product, however, I thought it was supposed to have a sleep/wake mechanism when i use the cover which i did not notice.

Best all round rugged case on the market!
I've always used the Defender cases for both my iPads and iPhones. Each case is crafted to allow the tablet user to experience their iPad as you would outside of a case. There are no sacrifices because you have a case on your iPad. The key is the cases are over the top in the protection area. I traded my old iPad in after I purchased this new model. The trade in value was increased because I had it protected from day one with a defender case. You will not be disappointed if you purchase this

Very good durable case
Pros: solid grip, durable and safe - now I don't need to think every time I grab the iPad. The kick stand cover has two angles but they are good: one for typing and the other for watching videos etc.
Cons: a bit on the heavy side and together with the plastic kick stand cover makes it close to the bulk of my ultra portable Dell XPS 13. I even carry it without the stand and it's very convenient too.

iPad Pro 10.5
I have been using this case for about a month now, and am very happy with it. I was worried that I might have issues with the built in screen protector being somewhat loose in front of the screen as some other models do, but this is tight against the screen, in fact I can't even tell it's there. I live in a pretty dusty environment, so while it took me about 1 hour to get the case perfectly clean when I first installed it on my iPad, I haven't gotten any dust particles behind the screen, which tells me that this case seals pretty good. The case itself fits absolutely perfect, and does exactly what they say it does; the only thing I don't like has to do with the hard plastic stand which doubles as a portfolio cover to protect your screen. When installed over the screen, you can hear the stand inside rattling against the screen; however I don't believe this will cause any damage to the screen, more than anything its just loud..

I think Otterbox rushed this design to Market?
First, I usually don't take the time to write many reviews unless I'm so pleased with an item I want others to know, or in this case, I feel that everyone needs to be wary of an item.
I LOVE Otterbox! Every iPad and iPhone I've ever owned has been protected from my clumsy hands and I will swear by protection they've offered my investments. Many of times I've watch my  products not just fall, but soar through the air landing on concrete surfaces, and thinking that this time for certain it's going to be broken! Never!! If Otterbox made a car, I'd be driving it.
BUT... i Truely believe that somebody rushed the production of the new iPad Pro 10.5 Cases, or maybe they received the wrong dimensions for the iPad? From the moment I put this case on my new iPad Pro 10.5", I immediately noticed that it did not have the same secure and snug fit that every Otterbox Case has had on my other products. Can I point to a particular part and say "here's where it's off"? No, The plastic cover that snaps onto the iPad is not secure and can come apart way to easy. Next the flexible casing that surrounds the casing is so loose that it doesn't "Lock" into place on the Plastic Cover. If you hold the iPad by the edge, this covering will separate from the plastic. Next, the hard plastic cover which doubles as a stand. It has always locked into place when you snap it onto the front or the back of the iPad. Not this time, and it looks like the Apple Pencil Holder is the culprit. Because it protrudes too far, it won't allow the corners of the cover on one side to securely fit into place. This in itself has already caused me to drop my new iPad, thankfully from a short height and onto a soft surface, but I refuse to put the cover onto the back of this case because I cannot trust it to hold into place.
Now before someone at Customer Service contacts me, I want you to know that yes, I want to replace this case with one that properly "Fits", and I'm hoping that maybe this particular case was just an anomaly, or maybe an early design that was never meant to ship? But if the replacement case fits the same way, Otterbox will have lost my business and probably it's best "walking billboard" as many people are stunned that my iPads and iPhones have not been damaged when I do loose control of them.
This was the first time that I'd had to order my case directly from Otterbox as the new iPad Pro 10.5" devices had just come out and there wasn't a case to be found in the stores yet. And as much as I dislike The Black Colored cases, I need to make certain my investment was taken care of and decided that waiting another couple months for a multi-colored case was not an option, but for the last 2 weeks, I'm afraid to use my new iPad because I know that it will not survive one drop in this case. Oh, before I forget, the flap in the lightening connector area is "Way" too firm. It literally bent my lightening connector when I had it plugged in. Also, the On/Off switch is very, very difficult to work because of the Improper fit of the case.

Lovin my new Otterbox!
I'm super happy with my Otterbox defender case for the iPad Pro 10.5! Worth every penny! Not only does it offer excellent drop protection but it does is in a pretty slim design, and the added protection of the included stand/screen cover is just fantastic! Especially if you're someone who puts their iPad Pro into a backpack a lot! You can't ask for a better option.

Stylish lifesaver
I’m a dad with girls (4 and 1 year old). I love how thin but protective the defender case is. It’s always more comforting when the case has a built in screen protector. The stand is even better now that you can position the iPad vertically as well as horizontal. The black looks great with the pink iPad. The white sticks out in the front and pink in the back. Great job on this one Otterbox.

Best case for iPad if you want to keep it intact
I love my case. What I like about otterbox cases is that they protect my iPhone / iPad very well without making it heavy. And thanks to the second part of the case, I can orient the iPad and make it hold without problem, on the other hand I would like that there is a more favorable space for Apple pencil, Location already present suits very well too.

I purchased this for my son to protect his new iPad and so far, he is happy with it. The only problem is that it is challenging to get his headphone jack plugged in. Otherwise, the case is exactly what he needs to protect his iPad.

Will never buy it again
I will not recommend nor will I ever purchase another otterbox ipad cover. I did not expect to receive a case that would require a Youtube video to figure out how to put my son's ipad in it. Really guys. that is the best you could design? This is the worse design I have seen in a protective case. without instructions, you have no clue what to press or pull in order to get this piece pulled apart. It was recommended by my son's school so I bought it. It took me nearly 15 minutes to know how to take it apart and then how to put it all back together. You couldn't have just made a hard shell case that would open like a book with a hinge and call it a day! Instead, you charged us $90 and delivered a case for a battle field without a single piece of instruction on how to protect the ipad. It really makes me wonder how you made it as a company. This is what is called excessive design where the original is lost and you have a product with multiple design flaws. I will never buy one for myself , will not recommend one to anyone, and will certainly let my son's school know that there are far better, cheaper and easier solutions out there and stop pushing otterbox.

The material around the control buttons is so heavy that it takes a super effort to turn the unit on and off, plug the charger in and volume control. Better off without.

Solid Case, Annoying Design, Non-Existent Service
I have no doubt this case would protect my iPad. Too bad I need to remove it sometimes for some use of the iPad, because it's incredibly annoying to remove. And also too bad that one of the cases I ordered was the wrong one, because I was completely ignored when I attempted to return it.
Basically, if you buy any of their products, don't expect to be able to return it or get a refund.
