Review on πŸ“± Black OtterBox Defender Series Case for iPad Pro 10.5" & iPad Air (3rd Gen) - Retail Pack by Jason King

The Most Durable About

I shattered my old iPad from a fall and bought a new 10.5 inch Pro. It's too thin for me and looks like it will bend easily. I tried 3 other cases before returning to this one. I've used the Defender series on my phone before, but didn't like the color choice on this one - black and a weird combination of purple and pink, but I went with purple/pink. I HATE that this lid comes with a crappy clear plastic protective sheet. I always take the lid off and use a glass screen protector. You usually end up with a sticky residue of glue, but a product called Pure Citrus Orange works like a magic residue remover. It's sold in the cleaning department at Home Depot and marketed as an indoor deodorant, but it works better than any sticky mucus removal product. Of course you then really have to wash the lid with soap and water to get the orange, rinse off the oil and let it dry well, but then you've got a great case. You also have a nice smelling room. It also comes with a front cover that converts into a stand, which I'll probably only use when I travel. I wish Otter Box would consider removing the clear protective film from the screen, but what can you do? in general, this is the strongest case.

Pros
  • Port Covers: Keeping dirt, dust and lint out of ports and ports
Cons
  • A price that will break your piggy bank
