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.

I got mine on-line after checking all the best shops and couldn’t find what I wanted to protect my new iPad. It arrived fairly quickly and I put my iPad right into it. A day later, will doing something stupid, i dropped my “protected” iPad on the floor from about 3 feet. Not a bit of damage to my iPad. This is a great product. So great, I bought an Otter box for my iPhone too!

This was my first order from B&H Photo Video and was very happy with their service. I had been using the OtterBox Defender case for my i phone and this case is about the same. I recommend it.

I had this case for another tablet and loved it so got it for my new tablet and love this one also, it isn’t the easiest case to put on but I don’t have to worry when my grandkids use it or when I travel with it.

I Love everything about the “Defender” the only addition I might suggest is to make it where it “folds” in half and snaps into place! You have done it again OtterBox!

I HAVE KIDS (2,4,6) AND THE CASE DOES ITS JOB! IT COMPLETELY COVERS THE PHONE AND PREVENTS IT FROM GETTING DAMAGE, EVEN AT THE HANDS OF MY KIDS!

I love this case. The phone seems extremely well protected. I like that it’s grippy because it doesn’t slip out of my hands easily. As I don’t use the holster, it isn’t too bulky for me. And the plastic cover over the glass is a huge plus and doesn’t interfere with the sensitivity of the glass.

Purchased it for my daughter iPad, who is very destructive with this type of stuff.

I bought this case because it looked like it would protect my device and look good in the process. I’m sure it is protecting my device but it’s kind of bulky and the buttons aren’t easy to get to.

I bought this about a week ago and it’s perfect for my new iPad pro 9.7 inch. I had one before for my Ipad mini and it’s always been the best thing ever!! They are all I will use.

Over the years, I’ve had four Otterbox pfoducts, and always been happy with the purchase. This Otterbox for my mini i-Pad is no exception. I especially appreciate the built in stand, in the removable screen cover case.

Easy to put on and effective. I’ve already dropped my iPad a couple of times and haven’t had to think twice about it. Well mad product.

I have an Otter Box for my cell phone & it is so worth it. Mine has been dropped so many times & no cracks or damage.

I dropped my BlackBerry more times than I can count. So when I switched to an iPhone, I knew I needed something more than a pretty, thin case. I think this OtterBox is pretty, and although it’s not as sleek as some others, I know it will protect my phone. Hard inner case, soft covering. The resulting size makes the clip too much to be useful, but I never used a clip anyway. More than one person has gone looking for this case online after they saw mine.

If your looking for ultimate protection, you have found the case. However there are a few drawbacks. It does add bulk to the iPhone and takes away some of the beauty of it. The screen protector does add a kinda sparkle to the screen, I saw a few reviews where people took off the built in protector and put there own in. Have not tried it, but it should work fine. Bottom line: Gives you a lot of peace of mind, if you are willing to make scarifies.

I experienced 3 broken screens on my ipad IV without a defender case and decided to purchase a new ipad pro and a defender case rate than invest in yet another new screen. To date I have had no damage and not lost any functionality. This is the best purchase I have made.

It protects the phone very well all around. Would recommend everyone get one since the phone is expensive.

There is no built in stand which makes this otherwise good case not excellent

This is an exact replacement for one I purchased 18 months ago. Before the previous one was a year old the 4 corners broke off the lid. Couldn’t find rcord of the receipt for purchase date so had to pay full price for a new one. Otherwise it’s a sturdy case that has completely protected my iPad Pro from any damage. Love Otter Box Defender!
