OtterBox iPad Defender Case

Great product, rugged and strong. Not designed for Ipad2 though. Power button inoperable but lifting the rubber button allows you to switch on or off with a pen or similar. The back camera is covered by the case and rubber outer case. This is easily rectified with careful drilling! All considered, a great case for my purposes. I can throw it in the back of the van and not worry about what lands on top of it.

Hi, thanks for the review. Otterbox have a defender case specifically for the iPad 2 which can be found here. http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/otterbox-ipad-2-defender-case-p28413.htm

Since I got my iPad, I've been terrified to take it far in case I damaged it. I've had it in a simple portfolio case that offered minimal protection, but one of the areas I wanted to use my iPad was to assist with the coaching of the junior football team I am responsible for. I got the Defender case to make the iPad more rugged and it certainly does that: It's a quality product that just feels right on the iPad. It adds a bit of weight but I find it's actually easier to hold with the extra thickness and I won't have any fears about taking it to the next training session now!

I needed a heavy duty case that could take a few knocks, it is built very well and offers full protection.

Turns your iPad into a really rugged piece of kit. Rubber sleeve quite awkward to fit though. Not sure why there needs to be a hole in the back to show the apple logo as it looks quite vulnerable. Worth the money though.

Great protection for my sons iPad and good value, saw it in America and decided to buy it here online, also delivary 1st class next day as advertised. Would recommend your product to anyone.

Marvellous - great for reassuring me that the kids won't destroy my ipad when they play on it.

Does what it says on the box, excellent protection for the cack-handed amongst us, me especially!! Well made, perfect fit and the integral stand works really well when you want to read in bed either vertically or horizontally. Only minor criticism, would have liked the stand to have more than one position.

My Defender arrived this morning and I'm very pleased with it. I took off the Music Skin I've had on the back of my iPad and fitted the Defender with no problem at all. It takes a bit of patience to position all the locator tabs in place but is worth it. It is also quick and easy to remove. Some people have reported that the case produces an oil slick effect on their iPad's screen but I haven't seen this. I also fitted the included screen protector. I've not had one on my iPad until now and was impressed with how easy this one was to fit. The positioning tabs really make a difference. I was also lucky with bubbles. On the first attempt I only had one small bit of dust which was easily removed with a piece of cellotape. I got the Defender to protect my iPad when I go off on holiday next week. I plan on using it as a media player and entertainment device for my 2 year old daughter so wanted some extra protection. Even though she won't be using it unsupervised, I still wanted some extra protection for the trip. The Defender won't be my everyday case but will definitely make my iPad more toddler proof.
