In case you missed the great news, I got an iPad a few weeks ago. I am loving it! As a person who values the things I get, I knew I wanted to protect it to the best of my ability. I went to searching for the best case around and I believe I found it with an Otterbox!
I was sent an Otterbox Defender Series iPad case for review. When it arrived, I was so excited. I opened the box immediately and took out the case. I was so pleased with the case from the moment I saw the black and pink design… it is so stylish!
With each Defender Series case, you receive a screen protector and the case itself. What makes the Otterbox so unique is that it has 3 layers or protection. You have a clear protective membrane for the touch screen, a hard polycarbonate shell (including a shell cover) and a silicone skin. If you put the cover over the front, your screen is protected. You can also turn the cover into a stand… which I just love!
You have access to all buttons and ports but they are protected with a silicone plug. The Apple logo can be seen through the back but it has a clear membrane over it to protect it. The battery dock is also protected with a removable dock door. Simply remove the door and you can charge your iPad easily. Put the door back on and your port is protected from anything getting to it.
I watched the video on the Otterbox website before the case arrived. It is very simple to put on. You may wonder how well the silicone layer stays in place. I have had no problems with the silicone pulling away from the polycarbonate layer. It fits together perfectly. There are small grooves that the silicone fits into to make a nice, tight fit.
When I am not using my iPad, I have the shell over the screen. When I am using it, I always use the shell as a stand. I absolutely adore the Otterbox Defender Series case. I literally have no complaints about this case at all. If you have an iPad (or any other electronic that you really treasure), I would highly recommend an Otterbox case. The Defender Series for iPad can be purchased for $89.95 from Otterbox.com and it is worth every penny. There are other series available as well so be sure to check them out to see what fits your needs.
