Defender series case for the iPad mini fifth generation is as good as it gets for bulletproof protection! Also has nice accessory stand as part of the cover. Brilliant.?????? Who

horribly difficult to put on and maker gives no instructions on how to open the stupid thing to get your ipad in - had to rely on utube videos make by other people, want to return but "customer service" is ridiculous and says they didn't charge me when otterbox is clearly charging me on my credit card statement

This mini ipad case is perfect for what I was looking for. It is very durable and will definitely protect my iPad from any damage if accidentally dropped. It is very easy to use, and has a very sleek and comfortable feel. I am very satisfied with this purchase.

Excellent product, delivered in a timely manner. I have utilized OtterBox products for years.

Your device receives the maximum protection via plastic frame and rubber gasket. Gives a great bounce for those with nonsticky fingers.

my unit did not seem to come with instructions so I had to consult YouTube. Well initially frustrated with getting it on my iPad, it suddenly sort of popped on and now I feel I can take my mini anywhere, so yes, I would recommend it

You need to somehow engineer the new case for mini iPad 6 able to use the power up features for the Apple Pencil and easy to use. That would ultimately make the product 5-star plus.

I bought my otterbox after I had to replace my IPad mini because it dropped and my glass shattered. The new Defender case has it?s own clear shield built in for protecting the glass. The shell is made out of sturdy black plastic and virtually indestructible!

If there was rubber gaskets around the camera and holes I?d give it a 5 but at least once a week I have take my case off and clean the screen. Other than that otter box is perfect

I bought this because my old case let my iPad shatter completely. Not a piece bigger than 1/2?. I feel very comfortable with this case. The system for reading in a horizontal position is good but not great. The only complaint I had was their instructions for equipping it for the first time are very bad. Basically they direct you to a utube video that does not allow you to actually see what they are doing.

I really like the Otter Box, however there should be instructions that explain how to take it apart and then reassemble. I should not have had to go to utube to find out.

The cover does a great job of protecting and doesn't affect sound or connectivity. The storage features do a great job of protecting the screen.

Purchased for a Christmas present for my son. It fits excellent and I can tell this is going to protect the iPad for years.

This is my third otterbox purchase. I got an new iPad mini and knew I needed protection for it. Through years of use we have never had more than a scratch.

I bought this a while ago and my son has already dropped it twice (facepalm) So far, it looks pretty good. The only thing I wish it came in other colors. My whole family has an iPad same case so it’s pretty annoying everyone has black a least I know it’s mine cause it’s a mini mini

Very secure storage but difficult to access. I suggest a flexible fold over screen cover.”Otter Skin” with an “Otter Claw” closure.

I'm a committed Otter Box customer, and I just replaced my iPad Otterbox Defender after several years of hard labor. I drop my devices frequently -- sometimes several times a day -- and Otter Box works every time.

This is the best case I’ve ever had, it stands up to a toddler and saves his iPad! I only gave it five stars because that’s all that was there, honestly it deserves more.

Defender is what you’ll ever think of buying if you want supreme protection for your gadget.

I buy OtterBox for almost all of my devices. The only ones who don't get OB covers are the ones they don't make covers for. Their covers are reliable and excellent quality.

I love Otterboxes, I use them on all my devices!

Between construction job sites, rain and wine spills and the floor of my truck, my gear gets a real beating. Otter boxes have kept things in top shape. Otter boxes have a screen cover that most other cases do not have. Adding extra protection from dropping or from things being dropped on it.
awesome protection

I bought the Otterbox Defender series for my 2 year old grandson..he can drop it, put his messy hands on it & watch it conveniently in the cover that converts to a stand..He can be a child and his parents know the expensive IPAD is protected. LOL
