OtterBox Defender Series Case for iPad 7th, 8th & 9th Gen (10.2" Display - 2019, 2020 & 2021 Version) - BLACK, Rugged, Durable, Multi-Layer Protection

This case is a beast! It's a little bulky with the base / support stand attached, but it's easily removed. Overall, I love this case. Well worth the money in my opinion. The only thing I wasn't thrilled about was the lack of instructions on how to install it. A quick search online solved that problem.

The Otterbox iPad 7th, 8th & 9th Gen is very similar to the one I had for Original ipad and Ipad Air 1st gen. I was happy with those earlier Otterboxes and am happy with this one! Otterbox Defender is sturdy protection, and I feel confident I can carry my iPad 9th gen safely around to doctor and other appointment areas I will be waiting for service and therefore will use at to pass the time. The ipad is layer protected and the inexpensive non-Apple pencil I bought works fine through the transparent screen overlaying the iPad. The cover, conveniently a stand, snaps off and on quickly enough to be put away/taken out and like its predecessors has 2 very sturdy iPad horizontal viewing angles, approx 20 and the steeper approx 60 degrees. Both viewing angles are very useful to me: 60 degrees used most often, I place Otterbox in my lap and use that angle to read while in environments with no table. If hard surface is available and a bit low, then the 20 degree angle is fine and in fact used very often at one of my jobs when there was a lot of time waiting for things to happen. The ipad was in a keyboard tray which when in the 20 degree position fit perfectly when the keyboard tray was closed. When downtime occured, I'd pull out the tray and the iPad would be ready to be used without further setup. And when the klaxxon sounded, I just closed the keyboard tray without any further takedown and continued onward until I could pull out the keyboard tray again. Measuring the max height at 20 degrees, the ipad 9th gen (and Ipad Air 1st Gen) in the Otterbox is about 3" high at its tallest point (the keyboard tray can fit something up to 3 1/4"tall). The vertical position I find less useful, but it seems sturdy enough but one should be cautious not to press keys too vigorously as though it is snug in its base, the vertical vs horizontal orientation of the Ipad in the stand is inherently less stable. Assembly was quicker than I initially thought it would be, especially regarding the snaps in disassembly of the product in order to place the iPad inside of the OTTERBOX. There are arrows which indicate which direction to pull the snaps (which is a contention point as some people are unsure how the snaps work/with way to push/pull without breaking it). After looking at the case and its arrows and a video, it seemed self evident for me and disassembly/reassembly of the Otterbox Defender with iPad now inside went speedily, and the ipad is now incased in its new armored suit. Otterbox Defender adds weight to the ipad but without it the ipad seems so vulnerable otherwise. FYI The first OTTERBOX purchase for 9th did not include a screen, I therefore applied for a return and the replacement arrived QUICKLY with SCREEN so I am happy would order again and the return process went well, kudos to WHOLE FOODS MARKET crew who confirmed the items returned, placed them in a bin (no need to address and tape up a container for shipping, just take the product to the store in its own box).

INDESTRUCTIBLE ! Typical Otterbox quality & durability. This is a manufacturer’s brand new product (not a knock off or blemish) I purchased this large version for my new full size ipad- because my old ipad mini is so old it stopped working...but still has it’s original Otterbox from 2014 going strong! My last one lasted 8 years (ipad mini) & it is still in use today (the rubber casing barely loosened up recently just from being so old). Otterbox quality is unmatched in the industry. I have taken it across the planet for work without thinking twice about if my ipad was going to get damaged or not. If you close the case together with the screen facing inside, it is impossible to get damaged. The stand is a very hard plastic. There are two positions for the stand use in horizontal & one position for vertical. Rubber pads on bottom of stand to pad on hard surfaces & keeps from sliding. Full clear plastic screen protector. I use alcohol wipes to clean the surfaces without issue. Once case is installed over the ipad, very little dirt/dust can get inside. I took mine fully apart once a month to clean ipad with alcohol wipes (only as a precaution, it was never required) I will purchase another one in the future....probably another 8 years. Great Product- buy one now!

This case is very strong it definitely protects against falls without the plastic cover because I was on the treadmill the iPad fell and flew off of the treadmill on my concert basement floor it was fine the case fits very well and is easy to put on the Apple Pencil holder/ pen holder holds on well to the pen it also feels light and comfortable

Super easy but secure installation. Can never go wrong with otterbox in my opinion, I’ve been using their cases since my iPod touch and with every phone and iPad thereafter. Button and touch screen are both unaffected with the protection.

I was unable to use the Home Button for a fingerprint ID. The problem arises from the fact that this case is designed to be completely water resistant. To that end, there is a membrane over the Home button. What I did was to push out the membrane and remove it. Now the fingerprint ID works fine but of course (at this point) there can be no returning it. Another issue was that my package didn’t contain any instructions. You Tube assisted me with that. Since the case is so sturdy and well built, I had a bit of an issue with initially getting it apart but now I have it back together enclosing my iPad and it is just what I expected and needed. The hard case can be popped off and the inner hinges opened up to be use as a stand. By being on the inside of the case, the hinges are protected. BTW I had already installed a screen cover. I didn’t remove this when I put it in the case and everything still works perfectly.

Nice product

I've had this for 1 month and the first time I dropped it.. my heart sank but was hopeful: it worked! No damages. The 2nd time I dropped it I thought that was it for sure: still safe, no damages. YES! Not only does it protect but it looks and feels great. The cover is a little bulky for my holder when attached to a mic stand but I just set that to the side and then close it up when I'm done. I love it!

La Marca como tal es sinónimo de calidad, aunque no es barata desquita el precio al proteger tus componentes con gran eficacia, ya la conocía por algunas fundas protectoras para mí bb hace años y hora no me decepcionó con esta protección para el iPad. Ojo. Tiene una Mica protectora integrada por lo que no necesitas nada más para proteger.

So, you’ve splashed out and bought yourself an iPad, eh? Good on you! But here’s the thing: don’t be that person who buys a cheap case only to watch their precious device meet an untimely demise. Trust me, it’s not worth the heartache. Enter the OtterBox. This case means business. My child has dropped it, stepped on it, and even launched it across the room in a fit of rage. And guess what? My iPad is still in pristine condition. It’s like the superhero of iPad cases. This bad boy is water-resistant and comes with built-in protection for the charging port, volume controls, and all those other fiddly bits. You’re not just getting a case; you’re getting peace of mind. So, if you’re in the market for a robust, steady case that will genuinely protect your device, look no further. The OtterBox is the real deal. Don’t cheap out on your product protection – your iPad deserves the best!

そのままです。iPad用に購入。私、otter box好きで。

J’ai acheté cette coque pour l’iPad de mon fils. C’est absolument ce que je cherchais afin de pouvoir protéger l’iPad : il est solide, facile à positionner et je suis sûr que l’appareil est totalement protégé!

Eccezionale.
