Hello there, welcome to

We’ve covered some great iPad cases so far, and this week’s review is of another fantastic case for your iPad. The Otterbox name is well know to many iPhone owners who swear by their defender series cases to
keep their phone well protected on the go, and now the people at Otterbox have come up with an innovative and highly protective iPad case. Let’s take a look at what makes this a great choice to keep your iPad well protected with our own Otterbox iPad defender series case review.
This case offers the iPad a treble layer of protection while still allowing easy access to all the functionality that the iPad offers, though the ports are covered to prevent dust, you can still access them easily. This is also supplemented with silicone grips so when you are using the integrated stand you know it won’t just slip of the desk. A clever additional feature is the fact that it has a snap-off section so that you can easily use an iPad dock without completely removing the case.
Delving deeper in to the level of protection that the Otterbox iPad defender case offers you iPad, we see that there is a hard external cover made of thick rubber. This will not only protect your case from scratches when you drop it in to a bag, but also offers a level of protection for those accidental drops on the floor that everyone dreads. Although the case does cover the screen for protection it also comes with a peel and stick screen protector (it is not part of the physical case), although some users have ditched it for one that doesn’t show up fingerprints and reduces glare.
It should be noted that this case is not water resistant, but if you are using your iPad around water you should really be checking out waterproof cases for the iPad. Another thing to note is that few users of this case have reported that due to its treble layer of protection with thick rubber it does make the iPad and case rather heavy to carry.
The built in stand offers two different viewing positions for your device. While this is great for most of the things you will be doing on your iPad (viewing movies or typing emails), many other cases do feature more flexibility in the stand options. We think that 99% of users will find this case more than adequate for their needs as a stand and of course to keep their iPad well protected.
For people who want a good level of protection for their iPad, from a brand that is already know for good quality cases, then the Otterbox iPad defender series case is the perfect purchase. We think it makes a particularly great iPad case for people who are traveling or always carrying their iPad around with them.
