    OtterBox Defender Reviews

    Good and not so good

    You get the usual OtterBox quality, although as usual, I remove their plastic screen saver and put a glass one on the iPad. But for using the case to stay on the iPad vertically or horizontally as designed they will easily fall over. They really didn't configure it right so if you're buying the case that you're looking forward to maybe has like a kickstand or stand up option for your iPad. This is not the one for you.

    Excellent, sturdy case

    I have been using Otterbox Defender iPhone cases since my iPhone 4 because I have always spent time on construction job-sites. The cases are almost indestructible and have absorbed a few long falls with no damage to any phone. This iPad Defender case is every bit as protective as the iPhone Defender cases I have used for years and cheaper than the iPad cases I had been using. Highly recommended. .

    Great Case For Touring

    I use this for my touring iPad. This is a replacement for the same case I bought a few years ago. My first case broke because I dropped it on the corner and broken a corner piece off. The iPad was unharmed, so I guess that it did its job. Overall, no complaints.

    What more can I say other than it's an excellent and very protective cover for my iPad. Plus it works with my SeaSucker dashboard suction cups! I'd upload a photo of my setup but it won't let me.

    Poor design

    The holder for the Apple Pencil - also the charging pad - offers zero protection. There is a small long door that does not close over the pencil - it just hangs open when the pencil is there. The door has come off once and I had to put it back on. The case piece to the left of the pencil (and door opening) is so flimsy, it worked itself under my screen protector and tore it. The pencil is very difficult to remove for use. Secondly, the back/stand covers the main camera. If no pencil and not using camera, then it's fine, otherwise find something else.

    Asked by: Raquel M
    No. For the iPad Mini (5th Gen), you will need BH #OTDBCIM5G • MFR #77-62216 (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1477258-REG/otterbox_77_62216_defender_series_black_case.html).
