Doesn’t fit iPad Pro 2024 (M4).
Just purchased a brand new 2023 iPad Pro (M4) and this case is too small. It fit my 2023 iPad Pro but not this one. Very disappointing.

Great product
I love the defender series. I have them on all my apple products. It does make the iPad feel heavier but it’s a small price to pay for protection on a $1000 tablet.

Problems with stand
I’ve had many OtterBox products for the years and I’ve always liked them. The stand on this OtterBox does not work well. I just hung up with customer service and they did not know why it isn’t working well and really could not help. But I noticed on the horizontal side, there is a little compartment that flips up. After a few weeks of trial and error and calling customer service, I now think that cover needs to be flipped up to use the stand. The website does not offer any instructions or even show the cover. I asked for a video on how to use the stand and the customer service person tells me that does not exist. You really need a video to show how to use the stand. It does not work like previous stands I have had from OtterBox.
Otherwise, I have found OtterBox customer service to be helpful when you call them. I like your products a lot.

Disappointed
Less than a year old and the edges on the rubber surrounds have swelled and its really hard to fit into the hard plastic lid , now the edges are getting chewed up by the plastic lugs on the lip .
Protects the iPad very well and comfortable the flap system to charge the pencil is fiddly at best

Problem with stand
I’ve upgraded from the iPad Pro 10.5 inch that was protected by a Defender Series OtterBox from the first day. The stand worked perfectly in either position. I have upgraded to the iPad Pro 11 inch and after ordering the iPad I ordered a new OtterBox Defender series. After a couple of days of using it, there is an issue with the stand feature when positioning the iPad in the more vertical position. The issue is in the redesign of the stand. I’ve attached pictures of the old 10.5 case and the new 11 case to show the issue. This is a concern to me, but not enough for me to return the case. I still think it’s the best protection for my needs. I would recommend the product however I would make sure to disclose the issue.

Wouldn’t buy anything other than Otterbox.
Usual Otterbox built-like-a-tank quality. Would have been 5 stars if there was pencil storage other than with the cover on.

Not what they used to be
I have defender series on multiple tablets in the past and have loved them. So when I purchased my new iPad 11pro naturally I bought a defender case to go with it. The case works great, but there’s issues with the stand. When trying to stand the tablet up in the vertical position, it does not want to stay after a few seconds the tablet tends to fall over.

A little disappointing
I have used Otterbox on all of my devices and have loved every one. However, this is not up the standards of previous cases. There is door to access the charging point for the Apple Pencil on the iPad. This came off. When that door is open there is a space between the build in screen protector and the iPad screen. Dirt seems to migrate there. Props to Otterbox. They sent a replacement cover immediately. However, the same issues still exist.

Reliable as expected
Otter has been protecting my devices since I switched from the flip phone. Devices get old and upgraded. When I take an ancient device out of the Otter it's been in for it's entire life, the device looks brand-new.

Good
I do not like how the side of the case flips open for the keyboard as I do not have that option. It is hard to clip in and out of the hard plastic portion of the case that detaches. Other than that I like it.

Have Always Used Otter Box
Have had 8-10 iPhones/iPads over the years and always get an Otter Box at the same time I purchase a new one. Never let my new devices go "naked". Never had a device break - though many have been dropped. I only use the products with the included screen protector. I hate the glass protector and hopefully, they will keep these thin plastic screen protector options available. The glass simply does not allow good control for my art and design projects. The only reason I give a 4 star is the price point. With my latest purchase of an Otter Box for a new iPad, the price caused me to really stop and wait to decide. Ultimately I chose to go with Otter Box one more time, but I've reached my limit on what I'm willing to pay. At the end of the day, these are molded products and there are some decent competitors coming up. I am obviously a devotee of the Otter Box - but price DOES matter at some point.

So Far So Good
To start, I am normally the person that buys a case and screen protector separately and then end up paying for the install of the screen protector. After seeing the price I decided to try this since I have bought other Otterbox products (usually my iPhone before and decided to give this a shot.
For the good, the main case with the screen protector is pretty good. It doesn’t add much size or weight (in my opinion) to my iPad. I also like that the flap for the Apple Pencil in previous model I researched has been replaced with a hard piece of plastic that opens on hinges and snaps/clicks shut when you are not charging the Apple Pencil.
For the “okay”, the hard shell case is nice for transport but I find it hard to get off at times. Perhaps this will relax a bit over time since it is so new. I also noticed some notches in the screen protector that look like they are for sure there by design but I’m not sure why aside from one obvious one that would cover the front camera. Not a huge deal but just something I happened to notice. Also, inside the hard shell is where you’ll find a slot to hold your Apple Pencil during transport but it appears this wasn’t designed tight enough as I find my Apple Pencil able to slide up and down the holster.
For the bad/need improvement I’ll start with the hard shell case/stand. The stand feature is really nice but like many have said in previous generations it would have been better if more angles were possible. I think if some additional slots were added and you could lift/move one of the “feet” that this could be easily accomplished. I have also seen competitors utilize a slit on the side for the Apple Pencil so it is always able to be connected/charging to the iPad that I think would have been nice as I worry about the hinges on the door I mentioned. Maybe to some this isn’t a huge deal but I think this could have helped put this product over the top.
Overall I would definitely recommend this product in terms of protection for your iPad. There are just a few minor tweaks that is keeping it from being perfect.

Awesome case
Awesome case. Perfect fit and really durable for a defender case. Side latch is kinda odd to open it but so worth it. Nice to see improvement from old style iPad cases. Love it. Need one. Get one.

iPad broke with the new Defender case
My iPad broke in a few weeks after replacing an older defender with the new defender. The old defender had a rubber flap for the pencil and the new one has a hard plastic flap. The damage is on the right side with the plastic flap. The case doesn’t fit as well as other defender cases. The gap tolerances around the ipad aren’t tight fitting.

Cheap plastic. Design failure. Awful support.
1) Cheap plastic. Quality isn't what I remembered it to be when I was first introduced to their iphone case around 10 years ago. Definitely not worth the amount they charge for it. I ended up returning it and going with their competitor.
2) Design failure. There's a section on the side of the plastic casing that opens out. I don't understand the logic behind this design. This, along with having read reviews of where other people had their devices scratched/damaged because of their cases, is one of the reasons I returned it because they don't show this part in their photos on the product page.
3) Awful customer support. Amazon's chat agents are better than Otterbox's and that's saying something.
No longer an Otterbox user.

Great protection
The hard protective cover is hard to get off but I think it will loosen up with use. Have used your product for years, had my kids purchase your protective Otterbox covers, and now my sister bought one for her ipad. Wish it hadn't been shiped vis UPS/USPS as it took 2 wks to arrive. I expect faster service Otterbox !

Screen, port cover
It would be 5 star if removed the port cover, it’s too tight and bends the usb-c a little. And the screen protector, did I receive a defective one or does everybody has this problem?

Fantastic warranty service - just call
We got a Defender case for the new iPad Pro to take to job sites - no doubt which one we wanted after using this case for previous iPhones. Mistakenly got a case for the 1st/2nd gen tablets, which cut across the camera lenses and left a gap. The online chat was fruitless but when I called customer service, they were very understanding - sent the correct model immediately and it arrived within a few days. Highly recommend Otterbox for quality products and customer service!

Unrivaled protection for the new iPad Pro
Just upgraded an old iPad Air to the Pro 11. The old one was in a Defender case since day one. Perfect condition, not a mark on it. It was used in a pretty rough garage environment for much of its life. You’d never know though.
Using the new Pro without a defender on it is a bit unnerving. So used to the case, I’m afraid of dropping it or scratching the screen! Ordered the case immediately after purchasing it. Interestingly the Apple store rep said not to bother with anything they had in the store. Order the defender!!
Every Apple device we have owned has always been in an Otterbox case. Excellent customer service, dropped my phone, broke the corner of the inner shell. They sent a new one immediately. No questions.

Great case except for the hinge!
I previously had a Defender case for my old iPad Air 2. When I got a new iPad Pro I immediately purchased another Defender case. I was surprised to see that the Defender still has the same design for the hinged stand that is built into the lid/cover. The hinged stand broke multiple times on my old Defender case. OtterBox has a great warranty and customer service and they replaced it multiple times but I'm sure OtterBox would rather not keep shipping me new cases. The hinge is also too low when the iPad is used vertically in the landscape orientation and the iPad will tip over backwards during use. This doesn't happen in the portrait orientation because the bottom of the iPad hooks into the lid so it can't tip over.
The protection is great so I give it a 5 star rating anyway but update the Defender with a better hinged stand!

Great iPad cover!
This iPad cover was different from what I’d expected - and so much better and more cersitile. I wanted a cover that supported horizontally or vertically work. This is great plus provides very durable and light weight protection for the iPad.

Very Disappointed with This One
I became an OtterBox devotee after a previous Defender case literally saved a previous iPad Air from falling off the roof of a car, a direct hit, and a drizzly overnight on a country road. That I even found the iPad 9 hours later was a miracle. That it was still intact was even more amazing (I still have the pictures of the shattered shell and working iPad. Since then, about 8-9 years, every one of my devices has had an OtterBox case slapped on them straight out of the box.
When I got my new iPad Pro, I purchased this case alongside it. Imagine my surprise when I learned that there is no thin screen protector on this case, like each prior Defender iPad case I have owned has. I have always told my "saved my iPad" story when I suggest cases for any device. Sadly, with no screen protector on this one, I 'm not sure this case would have had the same survival story. I'm disappointed that this case has left what seems to be one of the most important parts of prior cases off of this version.

It definitely does the job
I have a rule in my house if it’s expensive it goes in an OtterBox! This is my second OtterBox for my iPad this one doesn’t seem to stand in its base very well, I have trouble getting it to stay upright in the stand other than that I know that it’s protected I wish they would come out with more colors for the defender series I’m really bored of the black.
