I can’t say enough about this case . I have a special needs child . Her IPad has been launched across the house , yard and concrete . It has been thrown in a bath tub full of water . The only thing it didn’t protect it from was the microwave ! Lol ! I would recommend the defender case for anyone who has a child . It will survive for years .

I would never have a piece of technology without having it protected with Otterbox.

My son who has autism loves his iPad mini, but without the Otterbox it would not survive long. This case is super solid and secure.

I bought this not realizing it came with a stand and couldn't me happier!! Best option to Square's iPad stand as it also protects my device!

I brought this a few weeks ago and enjoyed it for the most part, the only real issue I had was the flap for the ipad charger is very difficult to get open. But aside from that it's very sturdy, and the hardcase and the rubber case give excellent protection.

This case is beautiful, feels great and the screen is Not obstructed by a foggy plastics screen protector. It is nice and clear, very durable and a very well designed case. If you are looking for a nice case for your iPad Mini, stop searching now... you have found your case.

My third otterbox purchase in 6 months and I really can't fault them. I have a habit of dropping my iphone/ iPad and unfortunately my kids have taken after me. A few accidental drops, so far so good.

I purchased this case for my new iPhone 6 last year and it protected it through fall down stairs, regular dropping here and there, and a drop into a puddle of water on a rainy day. Phone is still in like-new condition. Had to purchase this case for my iPad mini this year. Great case! Highly recommended.

This is a great case. I feel safe about my iPad when my grandkids play with it now. The case protects it and keeps the screen clean. Great customer service . Thank you for a wonderful product. I want otter boxes for my whole family now!

I got this for my mom because she's a danger to anything electronic, portable or not. To put it into persepctive: In the less than a month since I installed the Defender on her IPad Mini, she has dropped it down several flights of stairs, on the sidewalk, on gravel, and even ceramic tiles. Not to help the matter, the cats like testing the durability of said product by smacking it off the desk onto hardwood floor. The IPad AND the casing are intact. There isn't a dent or scratch anywhere on them. I've never been so relieved in all my life to know that I will most likely never have to replace the screen of this IPad again!

When I bought my iPad, I was enticed by a sage-colored Bluetooth keyboard Zagg which really only functioned in a fixed horizontal position for keyboard use. Two long years later, I finally opted for the Defender and what a great cover it is, with its drop protection. Just FYI, my husband's Otter-protected iPhone fell off his motorcycle in Missouri. 30 miles down the road, he realized it was MIA, so used Find My Phone on my iPhone. We both used Defenders on our iPhones and knew how rugged the OtterBox protection was. Plugging the GPS coordinates into our Garmins, we found his phone in the middle of the highway in Sedalia, Missouri, with a couple of rubber skid marks across it, but iPhone untouched! What I like about this OtterBox, is that its accompanying stand can be used vertically or horizontally, and 'the stand' snaps right on to the OtterBox as additional shell protection. Beautifully designed and great protection. Thanks OtterBox — trustworthy protection.

A small piece on the stand's articulating support broke after the stand fell 3 feet onto the wood floor, leaving the articulating support floppy. I was on the phone with a friendly customer support otter for less than 5 minutes, including hold time. $4.99+tax to cover shipping for an entire new replacement system including the case and stand; the individual stand was not available for replacement - only entire systems. Good customer service is alive and well. As far as the product goes, I'm confident leaving the iPad unattended in my 1 year and 4 year old boy's hands. The case and screen comes clean with a wet paper towel and the screen is always responsive. The stand could use some improvement in the articulating support and in the method for holding the iPad; the iPad does not "lock" into the stand and will tip off the support if not properly balanced, but works well enough for the home environment and can be positioned two ways at two angles. Using the stand as extra protection on either the front or the back, I can believe the "fell off the car" stories. The plug protection is superb, the screen protector doesn't interfere and is very durable, the camera and logo are also protected, making the system "almost" water proof; the speakers are left exposed, certainly to allow full audio - I just hope to avoid the accidental spill test!

I have otterbox's on all my electronic devices ,with 6 kids and working in construction these cases are the best and a necessity, without these case's I wouldn't want to imagine what it would cost to replace or keep repairing the devices .The best on the market.

I had an Otterbox Defender on an I pad minì 2 that was recently stolen. I was just as mad about losing my gray Otterbox as I was about losing the mini. I read with my mini and I love the feel and the protection I get with Otterbox. I do wish you had colors other than black but, beggars can't be choosers. I also have an Otterbox on my Smart Phone. You can't go wrong with Otterbox. They have protected my electronics from numerous drops and a few spills.

I bought the previous version of this case and the stand that goes with it for my daughter's iPad when she first got it about 3 years ago. It has protected the iPad perfectly- she throws it around and has dropped it often with no ill effects. Recently a small piece on the stand broke and OtterBox replaced it with only a $4.99 shipping charge. The customer service experience for getting the replacement was very easy and very friendly. I would definitely buy an OtterBox again- well worth the money.

I bought for iPad mini. I have used a defender case for my phone for few years and would not use anything else. It gives great protection and is all that it says it is. Currently waiting for delivery of new defender case for my new phone. Worth every penny.

My ipad mini was a holiday gift to myself and I was determined not to use it until my otter ipad mini case arrived--so glad I waited. I am pleased with my purchase and I would definitely purchase from otter, again.

This is a replacement for a previous case that just wore out. The new defender case has a couple improvements, tougher rubber housing & easier access to the home button. My only complaint is I wanted a different color. Black is so boring, lol! But the protection it offers outweighs any lack of aesthetic choice. I can't remember how many times I've dropped my iPad & the case is so efficient that the ipad still looks brand new. I recommend it heartily!

The 1st Otterbox case lasted a lot longer than the passed 2. The first was pink/white. The other 2 were pink/purple. The pink/purple ones do not stay on the stand. They are constantly falling down. I've also had issues with the stand cracking by the hinge.

RUN OVER BY A CAR
By bzslc
I was leaving work one day and I had my hands full. I placed my iPad on the top of my car and put the rest of my stuff in the back seat. After making several trips back and forth to load all my stuff in the car, I got in and drove away. I pulled out of the parking lot onto the highway and accelerated to highway speed (about 60 mph). I was looking in the rear view mirror when I saw something fly off the top of my car and hit the highway. I immediately realized what I had done and in a pan...

I bought on Otter Box cover for my boyfriend's older Ipad2. A week or so later we couldn't find the ipad2 and I used the "Find my phone feature" and located it on the side of the road just down from our home. He had left it on his flat bed truck and it had come off and hit the road and was laying in the grass on a curve. It had been a couple days and had rained one of the days. The Otter Box saved the device. There was no damage to the device whatsoever. The Otter Box did have a little damage...
