**Note: We also purchased the Otterbox Commuter (just in case the Defender was too heavy) and didn't really care for it.**

**After buying the Otterbox Defender for IPad, we WILL now buy them for our Ipod touch and our cell phones!**

We LOVE the Otterbox Defender for the IPAD! Since the IPad is popular for being sleek and light, we were very concerned based on other feedback that it would be way too heavy for the IPad.

The OBDefender did add a little weight, but the weight to us is better. It makes the $600 IPad feel like it won't just snap in half. We know that the Ipad is supposed to be durable, but you can't help carrying it around gingerly so that you don't hurt the dainty little thing.

Also the case feels great to hold, we can sit anywhere and use it. We no longer worry about our 6 year old carrying it around and potentially dropping it. My wife paid the extra $10 and got the pink... Good Choice for her.

The OBDefender is very easy to install. Takes a couple of minutes, mainly to read the instructions. The piece that is removed for battery charges is extremely easy to work. I have seen not so perfect reviews for this case and I simply don't understand.

Also, the stand works out for us. It comes built into the cover!! You can use it in Profile or landscape modes. We don't use a stand that much so it is ok.

The picture should show that the cover that goes over the front (when you are not using / traveling) snaps easily to the back.

PEOPLE WHO WILL LOVE THE DEFENDER (My family) WILL WANT

* Durability

* Quality

* Protection

* Easy Installation

* Attractiveness (Yes, we like it, my wife loves the black and pink)

* PEACE OF MIND FOR A $600 IPad!!

PEOPLE WHO MAY NOT LOVE THE DEFENDER WILL WANT

* Extremely Light Case

* Cases with bling

* Cases where you almost can't tell there is a case

* No kids

* Don't take IPad out of house

Get one!

3.0 out of 5 stars Otterbox for ipad, July 5, 2011

I love the color of this otterbox! I verified with the actual otterbox website that this model will fit the iPad2. And otterbox said it was good for use on an iPad2. However, I was very disappointed to see that it does not. The iPad itself fits very well but the head phone port, on/off switch and volume button and mute button do not line up with the case. These buttons and switches are recessed farther into the case than the rubber skin can reach to adjust them. There also is not a hole in the back of the case for the rear camera. It is still a great product. Just not good for the iPad2.

Recently I purchased a new SUV and instead of getting an integrated DVD system that could only be used while we were in the vehicle, I made the jump to individual iPads for each of my 3 kids. Now they can take that iPad with them anywhere they go, and use it in the car when we go somewhere.

The cost of the 3 iPads was similar to what a DVD system would have cost, but individually... they're kind of an expensive toy that you're entrusting to a child. That means that you need something to protect it, and for me I could do no better than the Otterbox Defender series. Buying through Amazon saved me almost 50%, and I was able to get 3 different colors so the kids could always tell which iPad was theirs. It goes on easily and really protects the device.

The only thing I had a little difficulty with was the screen protector that is applied before putting on the cover, and I seemed to have the best luck with the third iPad by just putting it on quickly instead of trying and trying for perfection. I got a single air bubble on the first couple, but was able to achieve perfection on the last one.

I would definitely buy this again.
