Rugged, Multi-Layer Case
OtterBox is the innovator of the first multi-layer case. Since that first case many have tried to create something similar, but nothing beats the original. Innovative engineering and precision design work together to create this multi-layer case that provides trusted protection against drops, dust, scratches, and shock.
High-Quality Materials
The Defender Series is made up of a two-piece polycarbonate inner shell that deflects impact force, a self-adhering screen protector that guards against scratches and scrapes and an outer durable synthetic rubber slip cover that absorbs impact. These materials work together to take on the heavy use and accidental abuse that can happen to your vital device.
Included Shield Stand
This Defender Series case comes standard with a shield stand. This stand provides added protection when covering the touch screen during transport. It also provides for convenient use with comfortable typing and viewing angles.

- Strong enough to withstand the knocks and bangs dished out by a 5/6-year-old boy. When the separate cover is on, the ipad inside is completely protected on all sides from drops and bangs. I am confident this case with its cover is strong enough to protect my ipad air from a 5-foot drop on a hard marble floor without damage to the ipad (although guarantees--I haven't tried that and would discourage anybody else from trying that just to prove me right or wrong).
- Has a tough, transparent screen protector, so you don't need to purchase a separate screen protector film.
- The stand is part of the screen cover panel -- stand folds down flat when not in use; when it use, it stands the ipad up either at an angle to watch movies or at a lower angle for typing.
- Has rubber covers for all the connectors.
Negatives:
- Separate cover is a bit difficult to remove for a little boy -- difficult even for an adult. That said, my little 6-year-old has now gotten the hang of it. He pries open one corner first, and that makes the rest of the cover removal easier.
- A bit heavy -- but it's a compromise, isn't it? There are lighter covers out there, but none of them are as tough and protective as this heavy-duty, kid-proof cover.
- My "Pencil by 53" and my pressure sensitive stylus from Wacom do not work very well with the ipad through the screen protector of this case.
The case is very sturdy and fits like a tight glove around the iPad Air. It does add 1 pound to the iPad. If weight of the case is a priority for you, you might want to look elsewhere, as the iPad will weigh 2 pounds with the case.
Several people have complained about how hard the case is to take on and off. You do need to be careful in removing each layer of the case, so that you don't tear the outter shell or break any of the tabs. This is not a case to be taken on and off repeatedly. So, make sure your iPad screen is clean before putting this case on. If you do have to take the case off, I suggest using a butter knife to assist in unlocking the tabs.
The built in screen protector works very well. I have not noticed any problems with sensitivity, especially when using a stylus. There is the usual Otterbox rainbow effect which is readily seen, when the iPad is in sleep mode or turned off. Otherwise, it is not noticeable while in use.
The built in stand works better in landscape mode. In portrait mode, the stand is not really practical height or stability wise, in my opinion.
After having the case for 4 days, I believe I made a wise purchase and highly recommend the case to those who may be on the fence.
