Every cell phone and electronic device we own has an otter box case on it. I’ve lost count how how much money we’ve spent protecting our phones, iPads, tablets, and iPods over the years. IMO it is the best case on the market but that comes with a price tag. Which is my reason for only giving it 4 stars. It truly is a 5 star case in its design and functionality as we’ve never broken a screen or product that has had a case on it. And we have dropped our devices A LOT. But to me it’s very over priced for what you get. Oh, and this is the SCREENLESS EDITION!! There are 2 different versions of this case. This one does NOT have a built in screen protector, I prefer the screenless cases because I like glass screen protectors

I was trying to find the sturdiest case for my ipad since I already broke its screen twice. It was dropped without a case. This case is strong and the ipad is protected. One thing to note when buying this is that the cover is a separate piece from the case. You need the case to make the ipad stand.

Great Quality. But an unsupervised 4 year old will completely destroy it after 5 hard impact slams on a tile floor. The case will crack but the rubber skin will keep it together 3 years in use.

I love this case the quality is incredible from the thin but strong feeling it has to the sleek look. I always BT this brand and they haven’t failed me yet. The price is a bit tough to take but the reward will remain through the life of the device and beyond.
I would think I could pass this down or sell it later it has that much durability. I would recommend this over any other case for a iPad or a iPhone. I only use Apple so I’m applying the products for Apple only in the review but it will work for any brand of device. The other cool thing is you can cover the screen when putting it in a backpack or traveling with it.

Not happy with this case at all!
The stand portion of the case is very tight fitting and I actually CRACKED the screen on my BRAND NEW IPAD while taking the cover off.
It also does not come with the screen protector anymore!
Waste of money and now I have a CRACKED IPAD SCREEN!

I recently purchased the OtterBox case for my iPad Gen 9, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. As someone who is notoriously clumsy, I needed a case that could withstand my frequent mishaps, and this case delivers on all fronts.
First and foremost, the OtterBox case is incredibly sturdy. The durable materials and robust construction provide exceptional protection, ensuring that my iPad remains safe even after multiple accidental drops. The case fits snugly around the device, with precise cutouts for all the buttons and ports, so functionality isn't compromised.
One thing to note is that the case does add some bulk to the iPad. While this might be a downside for those looking for a sleek and lightweight cover, I find the extra bulk reassuring. It gives me peace of mind knowing that my iPad is well-protected from everyday hazards. Plus, the added grip from the case's texture means it's less likely to slip out of my hands.
The built-in stand is another fantastic feature. It allows me to prop up my iPad at various angles, making it easier to watch videos, type, or use it for video calls. The stand is sturdy and holds the iPad securely in place, which is a great bonus for both work and leisure activities.
Overall, the OtterBox case for the iPad Gen 9 is a perfect blend of protection and functionality. Yes, it may be a bit bulky, but the security it offers far outweighs this minor drawback. For anyone who, like me, tends to be a bit clumsy, this case is an absolute lifesaver. Highly recommended!

Too expensive and does not protect good from less than a 3foot drop. Does not absorb shock

We bought this to go in an iPad for a 10 year old boy. Great protection and easy to use. He loves the cover that converts to a stand. We got a great deal on Black Friday and are very happy with this purchase.

This is a good value if you can get it on sale. Fits the iPad 9th gen very well, but it does not include a screen protector, can be difficult to put on the iPad, is difficult to get OFF the iPad, and the black plastic hard with built-in stand cannot be used to protect the screen during travel. I will probably look for another case that protects the screen from scratches while it is in my backpack.

Excellent fit and finish. Works great for storage and safety. Have already dropped it a few times and the iPad has be preserved and no problems. These are a great option to protect your iPad. The added stand option makes it easy to multitask and gives you 2 very usable positions for your iPad. I've ordered 2, will probably order another 2 for additional iPads.
