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 love B&H. Whatever it is you’re doing, keep doing it.

The best, most practical, new one for iPad Pro 9.7 inch lighter, thinner, very good design. I am very happy with it.

I LOVE my otterbox!!! The cover snaps on and off very easily, and is one of the best purchases I’ve made for my iPad.

I bought this so my iPad wouldn’t break, worked out pretty well. Only problem is that the screen protector part gets a little dusty but not much otter box can do about that I think.

Well built, classic Otter Box construction. It’s not a small case but protection and durability was my #1 requirement. The base / hard cover provides 2 different angles of view when used to hold the tablet and a secure location for the S Pen.

I am an Otterbox fan. I purchased a 7+ case on the heals of upgrading my 6+ phone. The 6+ case was better suited for the international traveler. There was a recessed space in the hard case deep enough to tape cell phone chips inside without fear of scratching the phone. The7+ does not have this feature forcing me to move the chips to between the soft case and hard shell – a less secure place.

I really like the Defender for my iPad Pro. Nice feel and look. The only issue I have is with the Touch ID- it does not seem to respond like it did before I put the Defender on. I normally use Touch ID a lot on my devices so I’m disappointed by this problem.

After buying several cheap cases I decided to buy an otterbox. It is worth every penny and the price at B&H is much cheaper than most.

I bought this case mainly because it is one the only options you have to have a belt clip for the iPhone 6 plus. It is a heavy duty looking and feel case but the only problem I had with it is I needed to peel off the screen portion of the case which will probably result in it not being waterproof,, I had to take it off cause it really effected the sensitivity of the touch feature in the iPhone

Good solid case, a bit bulky but something has to absorb the fall…

I’ve ordered 20+ of these for skilled trades employees who are frequently on ladders, roofs, etc… They expose their iPads to a lot of elements. I’ve used various other brands, but this is the model I order again and again. Is it the best tactile touch screen cover? No. Is it the slimmest? No. Does it protect my investment? Yes.

Bought this case to protect my iPad, an excellent choice.

This cover is bulky and heavy. Tough to operate the side buttons like volume control, power button, etc,. Touch screen is not that easy with this plastic screen cover.

We have owned Otter boxes on our two iPad 2’s for 4 years. Both are still functioning well. When we updated one of our iPads, we purchased an Otter box for it, also. Screen cover works well with the pen. My wife dropped it when getting out of the car and it worked like advertised. No damage. I wouldn’t buy any other cover.

Good, sound housing with grippable rubber exterior gives me great confidence in this products ability to protect my phone. The only downside to this case is the clear plastic frontage which sometimes causes a rash of incorrect key strokes and also gathers dust betwixt phone and underside of clear window. But that is a minor complaint and easily remedied by periodically cleaning it out by hand.

Just recieved and I took some effort to make everything snap into place on the plastic cover .

I am very happy with my decision to purchase this case. I love the stand and the protection the case gives my IPAD.
