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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Durable and safe. The fingerprint reader suffers.

The OtterBox Defender fits snugly and securely on the iPad Pro 10.5. The cameras are well aligned and it has a large opening for the speakers. It is durable and reliable. offers much better protection than other cases available for the Pro 10.5 as of November 2017. My only complaint is that the design of the case in which it covers the fingerprint reader requires you to put your finger in the valley, resulting in poor contact with the fingerprint reader. The fingerprint reader on the iPad Pro 10.5 works reliably when not in a case, but in the case of the Defender I found I had enough interference to read what the iPad forced me to enter a passcode to unlock it EDIT : The fingerprint scanner works relatively well when the iPad is in portrait mode is, but keeps crashing in landscape mode Swipe from the page in landscape mode works a little better, but it still often fails. A wider "V" on the case reader would probably help.

Pros
  • Compatible with iPad Pro 10.5 inch and iPad Air (3rd generation)
Cons
  • General Information
