If you’re thinking of defending your 9.7" iPad Pro from much of what life has to throw at it, then it may be worth considering a black Defender Series Case from Otterbox. This case features a two-piece polycarbonate inner shell surrounded by a synthetic rubber outer layer for additional shock protection against drops, bumps, and scratches.
Attached to the outer rubber layer are port plugs that help guard against dust. A clear polyurethane screen protector is built into the inner shell to help shield your touchscreen against scratches, scrapes, and scuffs, without diminishing the display’s visibility. Internal foam cushions the back of the tablet while keeping it from moving around inside the case.
The included shield stand snaps onto the front of the case for added touchscreen protection during transport. When not needed for protection, it may be snapped onto the back of the case. The inside of the shield stand has a built-in foldaway stand for viewing movies or typing, functioning in both portrait and landscape modes. There’s also built-in storage for an optional Apple Pencil.

Nice solid case. Only 4/5 because the screen protector feels cheap and makes the ipad screen not so great. Decided to remove the screen protector, which is very easy to do. It’s held on with a weak adhesive. The built-in stand in the removable cover works great.

Otterbox is the BEST.

We use our Otter Box on our Galaxy S5. It arrived in great shape, great packing material. It went on our phone easily and while I heard it would make the phone more bulky I am not experiencing that. Luckily we have not had to stomp it, or drop it, or drown it, or beat it. But when and if that time comes we are confident the Otter Box will hang tough.

We deployed an iPad lab in our Kindergarten and 1st Grade classrooms this year each with an iPad2 Defender Series Case by OtterBox. The Defender Case provides exceptional protection from the everyday stress of use by 5 and 6 year old students as well as big kids and adults alike. The case is durable and provides the grip and comfortable feel inherently missing from the ipad. We love it!

I travel with work every weekend. With this Otter Box I can toss it in my backpack and not worry about it. It adds a bit of bulk to the iPad but if you want it protected, then that is the trade off.

Man, this thing is expensive. But you get what you pay for. And what you’re paying for is a nearly bulletproof suit of armor for your pricey iPad 2. Fit and finish tolerances are razor sharp close. Screen protector is awesome. Excellent stand and cover assembly.

Pros: Good product for the price I paid. It’s like phone armor. It covers the entire phone really well and gives me the confidence that it will protect my phone. Cons: Didn’t come with clear instructions. Taking it apart for first time was almost like a rubiks cube. I was afraid I might damage the product right out of the box because I didn’t know where to pull it apart and open it up. I had to look up a video online. It also takes away from the sleekness of the iphone (but I kind of expected that before purchase). And one last thing… the teal color wasn’t as sharp looking as it appears in the photo, but I’m still ok with it.

Love this fits the 9.7 really well. The speakers are all cut out makes this case standout. Very rugged I love how it feels when you have it in your hands it’s not that bulky either.

I love the protection from drops that it gives. The only reason for one star reduction is because I have to open it and clean the inside of the OtterBox quite often.

I’m currently on my second, and last Otter Box Defender case. I originally bought the product after reading the many positive reviews online and on B&H. Originally I was happy with my purchase, even though it did increase the bulkiness of the phone a fair bit. My first case went into the bin after it split in half after becoming squashed between my hatch lid and roof of the car. I bought my second case earlier this year, and just yesterday I dropped my phone from a height of no more than 50cm onto the road, and the screen cracked. The thin parts of the rubber case (where the mute switch is) are prone to breaking, and due to the bulkiness of the case you can’t attach your phone to hi-fi stereos where you place your iPhone on top of.

I got this case for the iPad mini 2 and must say I use Otterboxes on all my apple products and this product is no different. Will protect from pretty much anything you throw at it.

Who could want for anything else! I’m not a robot or paid to write this. I have trusted B&H and Otterbox for years and I’d like to think I always will. The service is stellar, delivery was fast and not too expensive, the products are just right and I appreciate that they had this case in stock when even Otterbox was out. Great job B&H and happy new year!

Excelente protector para los que trabajamos en el campo. Por ejemplo yo trabajo en los volcanes activos de Costa Rica, y el protector me asegura que mi celular estar en buenas condiciones.
