Great product
So far it does the job & delivered quickly - would recommend

Waterproof but not sturdy
Protects well against water but not sure about how sturdy the case is or how much protection from drops it has.

Not fully tested-Lockdown restrictions, but seems fit for purpose
Likes; neat, not bulky, simple to fit, monocoque style case, love the "litmus test" paper insert to test your waterproof sealing, shame you have to undo it again to put the iPad in again!!!The solid, tight, if fiddly to use seals for charging cable and audio jack point.Good value too, compared to the prices of a Survivor or a Force 4 Chandlery iPad case.I've placed one of the sticky transparent films of the packaging over the screen-why?Well the enemy to all these cases is use and the scratches from grit, surfaces, etc that inevitably occur. Sure it makes the iPad a little 'stiffer' to respond to my touch , but prolongs its 'ops life' and gets another use out of the plastic film.Durability and immersion not tested properly yet, due to Lockdown, but it's already had one x 1 metre plus fall (Amazon please note a ‘meter’ is what records your utilities usage, a metre is a European metric system measurement unit. I am not an American, I spell words like harbour properly, don’t try to edit my original “European”English, we invented it!) in the kitchen and exposure to some heavy rain in the garden.Compares favourably so far with my 2 year old Survivor iPad case, which is fiddly to fit, not as waterproof, and having had previous falls on the boat and at home, has recently broken off a corner, and the bits around the audio jack point corner on the inner plastic shell due to landing on them. Superglue works, but the Survivor is clearly getting near the end of it's 'ops life', and the screen is getting scratched as well.Dislikes: The small, fiddly, tight seals on charging and jack point, but if you want an IPX rating, thats what has to be fitted or you get a fused, soggy lump of junk. Been there, recycled that bit of kit.The case feels a bit 'thin' held in the hand, and the stick on? plastic stand? comes with no instructions as to fitting , optimum or otherwise. 'Thin' thats just my impression, as Survivor case was a'handful', literally.In fact i'm using the readily removable plastic stand from the Survivor case, as the new case proved slippy on our laminate kitchen surfaces propped up on its own. I need the case to flush fit into a binnacle instrument mount, so not keen to stick anything on the back atm.The case's readability/integrity may not last as long with prolonged UV exposure over a summer, but at the waterproofing rating and price, "No Complaints, Sah" so far.

Beter than I could have hoped
Manages to combine ruggedness with ascetics. All the buttons function well though the case and ports are available via captive bungs. The only issue I had was the headphone jack, due to the thickness of the bumper you can only use a very slim plug like the one on the apple earplugs. Not a major issue as there are many ways around this problem I just wanted to have the cable exit on the top as I like watching films in the bath ( apologies - too much detail!!) I've not totally submerged it but it suvives the humid bathroom enviroment.

Poor quality
Very poor quality case that easily scratches. Only had for 4 weeks and hasn’t lasted. Screen cover doesn’t sit right to screen so has a gap between it and the iPad screen. Wouldn’t recommend

Great protection without being clunky
Perfect protection and very unobtrusive. The cover never comes off now, regardless of what I am using it for.

Does not last
Bits and pieces falling off after a few weeks of use. To begin with seemed very good value for money ,one good thing a can say it is a good bumper case .
