You’ve heard me sing the praises of Otterbox products in my reviews of the iPhone Defender Case, and the iPod Touch Reflex Series Case. The company really wants my electronics to be safe! Let me tell you, I’ve tested those products with dropping, banging, and bumping and so far, so good. So when my daughter received her iPad2 at Christmas time, I knew immediately what company was protecting her investment!
The Defender Series cases for the iPad is the latest evolution of Otterbox protection. Developed with your active lifestyle in mind, the new iPad Defender Series case employs multi-layer technology combined with high-quality materials to create the most solid protective solution. The Defender Series for the new iPad is also compatible with the iPad 2.
Features:
- Built-in screen protector prevents scratches; smudges and fingerprints easily wash off surface
- Durable silicone outer layer absorbs bumps and shock
- Two inner layer polycarbonate pieces snap together to provide solid impact protection
- Memory foam pads cradle the iPad inside the case provide additional shock absorption
- Shield Stand supports viewing in portrait or landscape mode and accommodates a natural typing angle
- Integrated shield stand fits on both front and back of case
Material:
- Clear protective membrane on touch screen
- High-quality polycarbonate shell
- Durable silicone skin
Our take: Just like the other Otterbox products we tried, this one is a safe bet for iPad protection! The stand makes it hands free video/tv/gameboard for your desk or table, my daughter uses it in the bathroom to watch tv shows while she gets ready! Just like the Defender case for my iPhone, there is added bulk taking away from the sleek and thin profile, BUT if that means that my electronics are protected from accidents and my screens won’t crack, the bulk is the least of my worry. With this case, my two other children can use the electronics and we don’t have to worry about OOPSes! Right now the case is only available in black, that’s the only downside my daughter states, since she chose a white iPad, she’d like another color to enhance that, minor details.
The Defender case is available for $89.95 and is worth it!
Product was sent for honest review.
My dad actually just asked me to get this brand for his phone that his company just got him. I had no clue about this brand before that, but it sounds heavy duty!
