Customers are saying

Customers praise the Defender Series case for its excellent protection and good fit with the iPad. Many appreciate the included stand and find the case easy to use, with positive feedback also regarding Apple Pencil compatibility and overall case quality. However, some users note that the case adds weight and bulk, and the screen protector receives mixed reviews. A few customers mention minor issues with the power button.

    I bought this for my iPad Air 3 and it fits perfectly! Protects and keeps my tablet safe and secured. Don’t have to worry about scratches or cracks! I can still charge & plug headphones with case on. Won’t cover/block speakers or camera.

    Bought this cover for IPad that controls household appliances, lights, audio/video. Wanted it to be durable for outside use. Very happy with this case as it also has a hard cover used for travel.

    This is a great case for the iPad. It protects drops, etc. I recommend this for any mobile work when paired with a Bluetooth keyboard.

    Otter box makes great products and this iPad case is no exception. The case fits perfectly, looks great and provides good protection for my 10.5” iPad Pro. The stand is very useful and the cover even has a slot for my Apple Pencil. I would recommend this case for anyone looking for good protection, good looks and a quality product that does what it is advertised to do.

    Still love Otterbox

    I only installed mine the other day, but it is designed like all the previous Otterboxes I've got/had. My previous iPad has the Defender on it too, and has held up great. It was only really dropped onto softer surfaces, but after 4 years, and being used on photo shoots and also traveling across the country a few times, it's still in great shape. My iPhones always have the Commuter cases on them (one sacrificed itself when it fell and dropped onto a hard ceramic floor— the iPhone was completely unharmed). What makes this particular case awesome, though, is that it has a holder for the Pencil! Which is perfect as I got the iPad Pro for my design work, and got the Pencil too. Now I have a secure place to store it so it doesn't get lost, and it's always with the iPad.

    Best Case for my 10.5 Pro

    I love this case. I tried cheaper ones that failed at properly caring for my tablet. I tried some higher priced ones that fell short. This one has the adequate protection as well as a really good stand that holds the Apple Pencil as well. My only drawback would be the bulk. It does add some thickness and weight. But it would not protect it as well if it did not.

    Even though this case does add some bulk, it makes the iPad easier to handle, and then of course it is very protective as well.

    Very impressed with this case. The fit is near perfect and I feel confident that my device is well protected. I wasn’t sure about the built in screen protector, but I have to admit, it works well and doesn’t effect the appearance of the screen. It also comes with a second cover that snaps on to the front to protect the screen when in transit or packing in a bag. It also acts as stand which is pretty cool. Overall I am very impressed and happy with the protection.

    This case is just what you’d expect from OtterBox: amazing protection without sacrificing functionality. The case does add a bit to the weight and size of your iPad, but I barely notice it. If you are someone who drops things a lot, this case is for you! :)

    Excellent protection all around, This is a very nice sturdy case. The OTTERBOX DEFENDER!!! This case is absolutely THE BEST! Very comfortable feel holding the case and slightly grippy but not too much. Not at all slippery, it is great for a 10 year old boy.

    I like the fit of this protector. I have the Apple 10.5 Pro and the fit is really nice. The screen color and brightness still look great and I don't get annoyed by finger print smudges on the protector screen because they don't stand out as much as they do on the original screen. The power off button works pretty well but feels like you are applying more pressure than you should but that might be the way I'm doing it. Other times it feels easier. I have used other Otter Boxes and this one just like the others I've had I like it very much. Would I recommend it to someone else ? Absolutely. If this case ever has to be replaced it will be with the same case. I would like to add that I don't use the front cover most of the time because it's not needed but if the circumstances call for it I will be using it. Example. Like carrying in a backpack or something where direct pressure could be put on the screen of the tablet. The front cover doesn't come off the easiest but I would think that is a plus so when it is used it's not going to come off and your tablet screen gets damaged. The speaker outlets don't have dust shields so that might be of interest to those who feel that they need them. I had them on a waterproof case for my phone before and they cut the speaker volume down so much that it was difficult to hear what was being said so I like having the speakers not being covered.

    These are used by our field guys on construction sites. They provide good protection for their iPad should they ever drop them. The cases are sturdy, but bulky, and we don't care for the glare screen that adds a rainbow sheen to the display.

    Love the protection but it is a little bulky to pack. The pencil holder is not so convenient Being on the inside of the cover, however it holds the pencil well and there’s really no danger of losing it while it’s stored there.
