How lightweight is this case compared to an Otterbox? My current Otterbox case for iPad 2 is so bulky and heavy. How does this case hold up?

This case is lightweight, not bulky. As for holding up, I only needed it for a short time while I vacationed at the beach. It worked great! However, I never got my I-pad near water, so I can't say how well the waterproof feature worked. I used it to keep the sand from getting all over it and protecting the screen from the sand/water film that covers everything at our Texas beaches. It's a great cover and I'm glad I have it.

The case itself is not heavy but somehow with the iPod is definetly makes the iPod heavier

I have only had it for about a month, so I can't advise on how it holds up over time, but so far no complaints on that. I do want to advise you that the volume controls on the outside of the iPad are inaccessable through the case. You can still use the volume control in settings, just not the buttons on the iPad.

I don't think it is heavy but I think it is bulky. This seems a small price to pay to protect my ipad.

It will not fit with an iPad in an otterbox, even without the outside shell. I bought one of those Smart Cover cases for my iPad. My iPad wouldn't fit without taking it out of the case.

I don't have a scale but it does feel noticeable. I have a smaller, more traditional case on my other iPad and it doesn't make as much difference. Overall I would say twice as heavy, however, well worth it if you have kids using it. Hope that helps!

Just to be clear: This is not the Otterbox to protect the iPad. This is a set of straps to put over your Otterbox. The large part with the four corner holders stays on the iPad. The four corner straps slightly block the speaker hole and power button but they both can be used. It stays on well to my Otterbox and is easy to hold even with gloves on. The long strap is to carry the unit around your neck. The fat strap is to strap the iPad to your thigh, the big S-biner is to hang it. All the extra straps fit in the bag, which clips to the back. I used the neck strap once in the winter to carry the unit under my coat. Usually I just put the iPad in a backpack.

I haven't had an Otterbox so I can't compare them. A friend of mine has one for the Droid Ultra and he loves it. I don't have any complaints about this case. I have gotten the screen wet and it came out of that great.

Hi, I was asked to answer , but can't. I don't have an Ipad in an Otterbox. Check the dimensions.

The edges are pretty slim the back of the case seems a little bit thicker, I used to use the Otterbox Commuter and this Armor case is way more thinner, I have the transparent one and it looks awesome on my S5, now I cant say is drop proof, I havent drop it yet...so I dont know how this case perform.

It definitely makes it heavier but not as much as the older iPads with cases. I don't feel it makes it bulky at all.

the igadgitz works well - I think it's too light to be used by itself but - I really like it, I put my ipad mini in a separate hard case (otter back style) and the ipad mini in it's otter back fit in the igadgitz very nicely - it won't zip up, but that doesn't matter - I'm really happy with it. :)

I have a 2nd generation Ipad and I feel its a little heavy for the Tail. You have to form the tail in a position where it'll hold it up but even then it'll lean or drop.

Yes. We have two, one for each iPad, and we both love them. They provide more protection and coverage than any other cover I've tried (and I've tried several). They won't protect like an Otterbox but if you want slim protection from general bumps and scrapes, this one can handle that without issue.

The case is not heavy. Case with iPad Air inside weighs about a pound. All ports line up camera uncovered.I like this case a lot. I paid under $20 . Totally worth it. :)

I'm not sure about otterbox, i never purchased one because they always seemed so bulky. I love this case because it is the right about or thickness without taking away from the phone, if that makes sense. I have a toddler and the phone has been dropped three times since i puchased the case and it has protected the phone.

I don't have an Otter case, I have a Targus, and the ArmorSuit worked great. It is very thin, and after I applied it, the iPad fit back into its case with no problem.

Very nice and thin. Probably one of the thinnest cases I've owned. It's nice and lightweight, not big and bulky like Otterbox.

I love mine, but like most apple products, it will get really scratched, even with a case. Watch out for rubber cases that dirt can get under, the rubber will move a little bit and use the dirt to scratch the back of it. Anyway, I personally would wait for a otterbox case for it. I use the military shield for now, but it was horrible to install, and its not even on it right. Its lightweight and easy to hold, but without an otterbox, at least get a squaretrade warranty. Another thing I have learned about these devices, if you havent broken it in less than a year, you may never break it, so maybe skip getting an extra year on the drop and spill protection.
