We loved the OtterBox Reflex Series on the iPhone and iPod touch but the one device we really wanted it to come to was the iPad. And it has.
Despite that one thing we all really liked about the Reflex Series was the colors it came in. But the Reflex Series for iPad 2 is only avaliable in black, at the moment and that is a real shame. We only hope that more color options are added in the future. Having said that the case looks great in black. The case is made out of a polycarbonate shell will rubber corners and the Reflex for the iPad 2 is ridiculously thin and feels very comfortable when in use.
To get your iPad 2 into the case you simply slide it into either half of the case and then slip the other half on and your done. It isn't too tight but fits very securely, plus it's lined in a very soft fabric preventing scratches and damage to your iPad. The bezel isn't covered by the case and that's very a good thing when using certain Apps and it just makes your iPad more enjoyable to use.
Your iPads buttons are all covered by artificial ones built into the case sitting on top of the real things. They all feel nice to press, responsive and they don't stick which is prone to happen in cases which cover buttons for protection. Cut outs are included for the audio jack, mute switch, microphone and 30 pin dock connector. The 30 pin dock connector cut out isn't big enough for many accessories to go into but as the case is so easy to slide apart, whenever you need to use a bigger accessory you can simply slide the bottom half off the iPad. One of my major concerns when first using the case on my iPad was that the speaker was entirely covered by the rear of the case. But OtterBox have thought of this and have built into the case what they call 'Audio Reuters', these basically direct the sound towards you and that makes it sound slightly louder and have a tad more bass as well.
A touch screen shield which attaches itself to the front of your iPad and hooks onto the Reflex via four silicone corners is designed prop your iPad up into multiple angles. The mechanism on this is most definitely the smartest OtterBox have got to with their stands, we were very impressed with the upgrade from the Defender for the iPad 1 to the iPad 2 but this blows them out of the water. To get the screen shield to extrude itself so you can use it in two different angles you simply push down on the middle section and then it will hook itself upright. The two angles give a choice from a typing position and an angle which is perfect for watching movies or viewing photos.
The protection is the best going for the cases dimensions compared against it's competitors. The slimness and lightness is something I really enjoy but the solid protection amongst all that is just awesome! Crumple zones like you get on cars are located on all corners of the case, most people drop iPhones and iPads onto surfaces the devices nearly always have the corners touch ground. The Crumple Zone will apply impact to itself leaving the iPad safe. Big drops to small this will easily protect your iPad. Plus the front is covered by the touch screen shield which also doubles as a stand meaning your iPad is protected front and back and it also means you don't have to worry about your device.
Overall this is the case for those who want top notch protection amongst a very slim design.

I just wanted to comment on using a screen protector. I have a Zagg invisibleShield and had no problems using this case with the screen protector. I slid the case on slowly and made sure the sides were going on evenly and I had no issues.

When informed I was receiving the new Otterbox Reflex case for the iPad 2, I was skeptical that they could improve on an already superb product - the Otterbox Defender. Was I in for a surprise!
The Reflex is a totally new design that is perfect for the iPad 2 owner who doesn't need the extremely rugged protection of the Otterbox iPad 2 Defender Case - Black NEWEST MODEL, but does want protection for everyday use.
What sets the Reflex case apart from other cases is its design. Yes, it's sleek, lightweight, and stylish; but more unique is the sound port openings on the case. The openings are designed to direct the sound up and around to the front of the case, resulting in a louder, clearer and more robust sound from the iPad. It's genius! I've not seen this feature on any other case that I've reviewed. Other manufacturers should take a lesson from Otterbox. This is a 5+ feature!
The Reflex is easy to install and features a built-in stand with both a vertical and horizontal slant.
Although the Reflex doesn't have the rugged protection of the Defender, this case is protective enough for everyday, indoor use. Otterbox has a good name for a good reason. It's not just the design; the cases are also extremely well made. This case is comfortable and gives you the confidence that it will hold up for a long time.
The bottom line: If you need a lot of protection, get the Defender. But if you require normal, everyday use protection, you can't beat the unique design of the Otterbox Reflex.
