    • Our take on the OtterBox Defender Series Case for iPad mini (A17 Pro)

    The OtterBox Defender Series is a rugged two-piece case for the iPad mini, built from polycarbonate and synthetic rubber with a built-in screen protector and a shield stand that folds into a viewing or typing stand. It is the heavy-duty option in OtterBox's lineup, trading slimness for drop and dust protection. It suits kids, field workers, travelers and anyone who carries a tablet in a bag or outdoors. Compared with slimmer folio cases, it adds bulk and weight but far more impact protection.

    Questions and answers

    Does it fit the iPad mini A17 Pro?
    This Defender Series version is made for the iPad mini, including the A17 Pro model. Check the model number on the back of your tablet before ordering, since fit differs across generations.
    Does it come with a screen protector?
    Yes. The case has a built-in screen protector, so you do not need a separate film or glass protector.
    Can the stand hold the tablet upright?
    The included shield stand folds into a viewing stand for video and a lower angle for typing. It also covers the screen when closed.
    Is it waterproof?
    No. It is dust-resistant with covered ports, but it is not rated for water immersion.
    How does it compare with a slim folio case?
    It offers much more drop protection and a built-in screen protector, but it is thicker, heavier and harder to remove.
    Does it work with the Apple Pencil?
    The case is designed to leave access for charging and storing the Apple Pencil, but the thick shell can make attaching it slightly less snug.
