Dexnor Rugged Case for iPad Pro 12.9 vs OtterBox Defender Series iPad Pro 12.9 Case

Both are heavy-duty shells for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, but they fit different generations. The Dexnor covers the 3rd gen (2018) only and adds a 360° rotating hand strap, kickstand and pencil holder, which suits field work, students and anyone who holds the tablet one-handed. The OtterBox Defender fits 3rd, 4th and 5th gen models and is the safer pick if you own a 2020 or 2021 iPad Pro. Owners of both report solid drop protection; the OtterBox has the longer track record for durability, while the Dexnor packs more built-in accessories.

• Choose the Dexnor if you own a 2018 12.9-inch iPad Pro and want a hand strap, kickstand and pencil storage in one rugged case.
• Choose the OtterBox Defender if you own a 2020 or 2021 12.9-inch iPad Pro, or want the most proven drop protection.
