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.

Just like the Otter for my iPhone, the Otter for my iPad Pro does the job. Screen protector, case protection and nifty viewing stand, Otter does it all.

The hard plastic case fits great. The outer rubber case has tabs for the data port, etc, but they don’t fit tights

Otterbox makes great cases but this is at the top of the list! Fits the phone like a glove and isn’t overly HUGE like other cases can be.

This Otterbox Defender case for iPad Air is great! You can just tell when you install your iPad inside of it that you are getting the best protection. The screen protector built into it does not interfere with use at all as you can barely even tell there is a screen protector. The case is really three pieces as you attach it to an included stand face down when not using it. The stand works great as well. I haven’t dropped it yet, but feel this case would provide good protection if I were to drop it.

We have otter box cases on all our iPhones and iPads to protect them. Otter box is durable and protects our electronics even when dropped. I have used them for years and they are like insurance on the product. We have never had a lens cracked or shattered. I wouldn’t do without Otterbox and I highly recommend it.

This case is really well designed, is quite sleek and small compared to previous generations of the Defender Series I’ve used on older phones. The rubber around the case seems much tighter than it was in the past which I like but the Touch ID home button has a plastic wrap type protection which creases and makes unlocking your phone impossible using your finger at times… I can’t imagine how frustrating it would be to try it with apple Pay. I might end up cutting that part off of the case so I can just use the real button.

Im very happy with the protection provided by this case as well as the usefulness of the stand. The flap that protects the lightning port put too much pressure on the cord so I removed the flap.

For my first iPad I bought a hardened Vinyl cover. Then I dropped it, resulting in a shattered screen. For our next two, we bought your Otter Boxes; these have given us great confidence that we’are safe. They are easy to use, nice looking, and very sturdy. We just will have no other covers!

I really love this case for my iPad mini 4. Super durable. I little on the heavy side, but that is expected with this much protection. Case is a little hard to take apart once the iPad is in it. Overall, this case is exactly what I needed and wouldn’t trust my iPad in anything else.

Just got my case a few days ago. It took a week after ordering it, but it was well worth the wait. Getting it on was easy enough, but taking it off is a bit of a pain. I love everything about this case, though. I have a 2 year old and I no longer worry about him possibly breaking my iPad. The only thing that I’m iffy about is the two small holes at the top of the screen protector. They will allow dirt to enter into it and since it’s a pain to remove the case, it could be an issue. The color is fantastic (Very Berry in my case…pun intended) and I love to see the pink surrounding my iPad. The case may have been pricey but it’s definitely worth it. The case fits perfectly in every regard. Highly recommended.

If you need or want to protect your Iphone 4&4S, this is the cover to get. It protects really well from any impacts. But if you are looking for beauty than I would not recommend this one as this is not the prettiest thing to cover your Iphone with. For me it really did the Job i was looking for.

My wife loves her case. Her only complaints would be the weight and it does not stand that well in the stand that also substitutes as a extra cover. The weight is a sacrifice we are willing to take to add the best protection possible. I would recommend this case to all my friends and I use otterbox cases on all my phones also.

We use the product at our company called Fight Soap, which makes bath and body care products for people like MMA fighters. The case protects our new iPad very well in rough sports environments, the outdoors, and when we use it at the labs amidst all the chemicals. It does add a lot of bulk and weight to the iPad but it’s a small price to pay for peace of mind and protection. The stand acts as a great protective shell for the screen during transport, which is a feature the other cases do not have. It’s a great product and we’ve had great experiences with otterbox customer service with our iPhone cases.Only wish of ours would be a seal for the speakers. This is the only visible unprotected area once the case is on. This can be great for damp or even wet environments. The Griffin case has this sort of seal as we’ve compared when we were at the NY store.

I am a huge fan of otterbox. This iPad Pro 9.7 case is wonderful. And I love the color. So pretty. Thank you otterbox!

I use OBs for all of my stuff. Quality fit on this one seems to have missed the mark. Very hard to fit my iPad Pro into the case & I can see and hear a double tap coming from the protective screen of the OB and the iPad screen. Granted, every mfg can have a bad batch, but after 30 plus OBs, I know how they fit. I just haven’t gotten around to returning this one.
