A few months back I decided to join the masses and purchase an iPad. I currently use an iMac, and an iPhone, so it only seemed natural that I would add an iPad into the mix at some point. When it arrived I took a quick look at it and tossed it to the side. New technology isn’t exactly my strong suit, and I figured I would meddle my way through it…later. As the days went by, my girls were the ones who seemed to use it the most, playing games and reading online books that I downloaded for them.
Then, it happened.
I knew it was coming. Even so, as it teetered on the edge of the countertop, I simply watched it fall to the TILE floor….face first! I crinkled my nose as I looked down towards the floor, hesitating to turn it over for fear of what I may find. I fought my fear and hesitation and turned it over quickly, only to find it was in perfect condition. I knew we had been more than fortunate, and I would be a fool to allow it to happen a second time.
So I began my online research to find the safest case on the market.
My searches continuously returned to only one case, the OtterBox Defender Series .
The Otterbox Defender Series Case allows users to “Fisher-Price” the iPad, if you will. The case features three layers of hardcore protection made with high quality polycarbonate, and includes a built-in stand/screen protector that really comes in handy! The Defender Series case also features a removable dock door on the back, allowing it to be compatible with the iPod dock accessory.
iPad Defender Series Case
Drop-proof your magical, new must-have gadget with the OtterBox Defender Series for Apple® iPad™! This cutting-edge case incorporates three layers of hardcore protection plus some advanced features. Stowing your iPad away for the night or for your commute? Simply remove the back polycarbonate cover and snap it over the face for ultimate touch screen protection.
Features:
Three layers of protection
Access to all buttons and ports via silicone plugs
Clear membrane protects Apple logo
Clip on, multi direction shield with built-in, fold-out stand
Removable dock door (dock not included)
While researching the case, my only worry was that this case would be bulky. That worry was short lived once the case arrived! Although it features three layers of protection, this case is slim, and lightweight. The built in stand allows me to use my iPad in a desktop position, and when I’m finished using it, the stand folds flat into the cover, and doubles as a screen protector. Seriously….cool!
It took us just minutes to secure the case to the iPad, and the case came equipped with a clear protective membrane that covers the touch screen. We have since dropped the iPad multiple times. When I say “we”, I mean myself included. It’s fallen on it’s face multiple times, and the Defender Series case has protected it each and every time. Oh and did I mention it comes in pink?
We LOVE the Otterbox Defender Series case and we think you will too!
