The last tablet protection you'll ever buy.

If your kids will be playing your iPad this is a must have.  I know it's bulky and very grippy, but it has saved my iPad more times than I can count and it keeps on ticking.  I've had 4 previous covers which were slim and sleek, and all of them fulfilled their purpose of saving my iPad in a spill, but all of them broke at the corners.  This thing is a beast and has saved my iPad from falls off the top of my truck onto concrete and kept on ticking. It's the only tablet protector I will buy ever again.  It's also the only tablet protector I'll I feel safe leaving my kids alone with. FYI though, it's not water proof, but it is sneeze proof!!

These cases are so heavy duty, and protect the samsung galaxy tablet 3 7.0 just the way it should. Not to mention great price for such a great product. I could not find anything like this in any store. Not even the well known electronic stores. All I could find was those leather carrying cases. I bought two for my clumsy 6 and 9yr olds, and they are holding up well.

So difficult to find a perfect case but this one is it!  In fact its a case within a case that makes it so perfect.  The inner sleeve which offers basic protection while maintaining the feel of tablet use is then bolstered by the carry/travel portfolio style case to ensure ultimate protection while on the go.  Inner case is detachable from the outer portfolio case, so there is no hassle involved in useage, just simple velcro detachment.  The stand flap on the rear of the portfolio is very useful.  I wasn't even looking for that option so thats an added extra in terms of functionality.
I don't think you'll find a more custom purpose built case anywhere, nor do you need to, this one is better than any I've seen for any tablet in the retail market so far.
Perfect match for a great tablet from Samsung.  Couldn't be happier with it, would highly recommend to anyone.

I'm outdoors about all the time, and so is my tablet. I take it in my backpack and use it for GPS topo mapping driving our Jeep off-road. I use zippered cases when I can, but it gets its share of bouncing around. This cover is THICK silicone rubber, nice heavy corners in case of drops, and a ridge all around the display if it should fall onto a surface face down. Most all the controls are covered/protected (mine gets used in blowing dust sometimes)--microphone, speakers, volume keys. The only thing left open is the physical Home button. That would be my only suggestion to the manufacturer for improvement, to have the Home button covered also. I put white vinyl tape over mine. I found the bare tablet quite slippery and hard to hold onto, but this cover fixes that. It doesn't slide around on surfaces because the rubber is grippy, and I find it sits comfortably in my hands now. It will make any tablet heavier, but worth it!

The fit on this case is very tight and if not installed just right it will turn your tablet on and off due to pressure being placed on the tablet.  After several attempts I installed the case correctly and the false activations have not occurred.  All protected buttons and the protected touch screen work without any issues.  The case is rugged and offers a lot of protection.

Fits like a glove. Im serious about protecting the electronics that ive bought and use. This case is great. Quality is great. Structure of the folding stand is very nice. Very sturdy case. If your in the market for a new or different tablet case don't hesitate and grab one of these finties.

Otterbox is the best product out their for both protection and professionalism that one would demand! Love the feel and not as bulky as past Otterbox covers. Truly recommend this product for your tablet!

Given the cost of iPads, regardless of model, protecting them from possible damage is a concern of most owners. Given the slimness and fragility of iPad (and phone) screens, even the most careful owners will want to consider an Otter box as the ultimate in protection whether inside or on the go.

I've had an otter box for two android phones and found them to be indispensable. They have, on several occasions, protected the screen from damage.

The version for the 5th generation (2017) iPad is considerably bulkier than those I've used for my phones. This was a bit of a surprise for me. My beautiful slim, silver  iPad has morphed into what I call a "Darth Vader" appearance. Bulky, black and really quite ominous.

But, given what I paid for the new model, I can live with the Otter Defender protective cover and stand.

Installation steps are spelled out, albeit with poor illustrations. They really should be redrawn and really reflect what you are looking at in terms of drawings and text. (In one place "arrows" on sides are referred to. I wasted time looking for them but they were nowhere to be found.)

You will probably end up basically winging it. Getting the "stand" off as you begin the process is the easiest it gets for a bit. Separating the back cover and the protective unit is a bit trickier.  It won't take long and if you've used an Otter style before, it will sort itself out.

One thing however that was truly tricky was completely attaching the silicone cover. You'll drop it in, the corners and sides will seem to be fitted, but if you turn it over, surprise, the interior unit with your precious iPad will fall out. I did the setup on a soft surface (a bed) and luckily, when pad/protector fell out, nothing happened.

You will have to manually go around the edges of the silicone protector piece and pull it up and out and then "tuck" it in to ensure that the iPad and protector piece are firmly in place. It's a step I did not see on the instructions and it was NOT clear that it was loose when first inserted (drop it into...)

It's nice the way the earphone and charger bits are protected by flaps that open and close.

The cover fits the unit well and almost all the features work well. I noticed one small issue. At the bottom right, where you manually turn it off and on and below, where you adjust volume, you have to really get your fingers in place very securely (and it's not easy sometimes even with small, slender fingers) and hit them a certain way or they won't work properly.  That's unlike any experience I've had with other protective cases. Not a deal breaker, that's certain, especially if you are someone who is hard on your iPad and need serious 24/7 protection.

One other thing I noticed that does present an issue. When using my iPad in other holders, I never had an issue with glare on the screen.

The protective screen here results in glare, no matter whether vertical or horizontal (and it's not about the light in your home, it's about the material in the protective covering).

That has been an issue for me as I watch a lot of movies, tv online and it is very annoying and noticeable. (I've tried positioning it many different ways, but glare continues.)

The deattachable unit that serves as a stand is not all that great and you have limited ways to place your unit, but it's better than nothing. And, it's really supposed to be the outer cover, not a stand, so it is nice that otter offers this feature at all.

Overall, it most definitely does a job of protecting your tablet. If that is your primary concern, this is worth your consideration. Think the price is high but depending on what you paid for your iPad and how long you plan to keep it, especially if you are a very mobile user who is hauling around this unit and/or taking it out and using in a variety of environments, it is a solid investment. And it certainly costs less than a broken screen!

This case is awesome don't let anyone fool you! I've had it for probably 5 , on the now and it's saved my tablet SOOOOO many times! II've dropped this thing hard a few times even on the front of the screen and the case has a lip on the front that totally saves it. It keeps it dust free which actually works because I work around a lot of flour every day and it never gets inside it, I would even go as far to say this is splash proof because I spilled things on it and splashed water accidently on it and it never has failed me. Not bulky at all and the screen protection works amazing saved my screen from tons of scratches so far.  BOTTOM LINE get this case, for the money it's beyond awesome!

The great thing about Otterboxes is that if you've had one before then you generally know what other iterations will be like. If you don't, here's the skinny:

Otterboxes are amazing at protecting your device from most accidental drops and falls. True story: one time I was on an elliptical machine at a local gym and my tablet fell under the machine's wheels. This was a heavy duty machine -&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Precor-EFX-576i-this/dp/B0029KL2TW/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Precor EFX 576i this</a>&nbsp;is almost identical to the type of machine I was on and the thing about these is that once they get going, the pedal things are heavy and hard to stop. Meaning that anything delicate will be toast if it's trapped in its wheels. There was an audible crunch and several people stopped and winced... only to find that the case absorbed all of the impact and only had minor damage. The tablet itself was just slightly dented on one edge and had zero screen damage. I've yet to have anything similar happen with any other devices, but I have dropped them several times and the Otterbox cases protect them very well. This case is similar to the one that protected my old tablet from the elliptical, so odds are that this would provide the same protection - although I'm obviously not going to test that theory out. The only time my case got any truly serious damage was when I dropped it on a corner and part of the outer clamshell stand broke off, so I couldn't use the stand anymore. My device was getting old so I never bothered to replace the stand, although you can generally get replacement pieces from the official website unless the case is ancient and not made anymore.

As previously mentioned, this case comes with a part that can be used as a stand for the device - it works well and can hold your tablet up if you want to watch movies in bed or similar. The only thing that I can really say about Otterboxes that could be seen as a possible detriment is that it's fairly bulky. The iPad is fairly thin, but this gives it some definite heft and bulk. Still, that's a very small price to pay to protect your expensive devices against damage and for some, this won't be a deterrent. It isn't for me, so Otterbox has always been my case of choice unless they don't make cases for my particular device. I'm admittedly a fangirl, but the above scenario has made me a fan for life.

Excellent box, the kick-stand is very secure, firmly holding your tablet at a comfortable angle.
The protection this affords is second to none. your tablet could not be in more secure hands.
And that security comes at a price. This case is rather bulky. If you are enjoying how small your Galaxy is, you will not like what this does to it! but if you can be a clutz at times (and honestly, can't we all?!) then this is about the cheapest type of insurance you can get..
Built with the usual exacting strong accuracy and attention to detail you would expect from OtterBox.

Shame it couldn't be any smaller

I love this, before I used to be really nervous about carrying my tablet around, especially out of the house. Well designed and definitely robust with good flat, shallow and steep screen angles possible.  Some people may consider the extra weight a disadvantage as it will double the weight of your tablet but I was more than happy given the peace of mind its protection offers. I did not want to have the screen protector film (it's quite thick and would reduce sensitivity) but it is easily removed as it's only stuck on with double sided tape.

This is the second time I have purchased this product. I used the first one for more than a year until it literally fell apart around the tablet from the abuse I heaped upon it. From falls, to liquid spills, to opening and closing a hundred times a day, this case protected my tablet in a superb way.
