OtterBox Reflex Series Case with Stand for the New iPad 4, iPad 2 and 3 - Black

I have purchased three different cases so far for my new iPad 4. I bought one that contains a removable bluetooth keyboard, a basic cover, then the OtterBox Reflex Case. So far, the OtterBox case has been on my iPad longer than any other. It is very durable and the colors are amazing!A note regarding how to bend the cover to convert to a stand. I noticed that other people were having a really hard time getting the stand back to cover form. I too had this problem. It was very easy to snap the stand together, but removing it took A LOT of effort and time. I was quite upset that I thought I was going to have to break the thing in order to use it. HOWEVER, my husband was playing with the case one evening and I watched him snap the stand into position, then quickly and EASILY snap it back out.Amazingly, I was snapping the stand together in the wrong way!! I am pretty sure that is what others are doing to. If you are one of the people having this problem, bend the case the opposite way and it will snap into and out of the position much easier!

The reflex case lives up to the reviews I read . Sturdy case and very good folding cover. The folding cover developed a crack where the fold lock inserts. I received excellent product support from otter box and a new cover was shipped. Works well so far.

My boss doesn't like having a case on his iPad because it makes it bulkier, heavier, and harder to quickly get into (you have to open the flap and figure out how to fold it to get it into a usable position, etc.). However, he's dropped and broken several iPads over the course of a year or so. We kept recommending and advising him to use a case, but he insisted that he did-not want one. Finally, we decided to get him a minimal case that offers some protection without making the device too bulky. After reading many reviews, and comparing several options we chose the OtterBox Reflex series for his 3rd generation iPad. We slipped the case on before handing his iPad back to him, and he didn't even realize it was there at first. Once we pointed it out, he was impressed at how minimal it was and he agreed to keep it on! Now we just have to wait and see what happens next time he drops it. I suspect that this case will do a decent job of protecting the iPad if it gets dropped or bumped on the back, sides, or corners - but it, obviously, won't help to protect the screen (unless you also use the stand/cover, which we didn't like and would only provide minimal protection anyway). The only reason I am giving this case 4 stars instead of 5 is that I am not a fan of the way that it 'clips' together. You basically slide on the bottom half, then slide on the top half and they 'clip' together in the back - however, the clip mechanism doesn't really latch on very well, so the pieces tend to move away from each other slightly which causes a very small gap on either side. This is not a big deal aesthetically, but can cause the case to hang or catch on things when taking the iPad out of a bag, for example. Otherwise, the quality is exactly what I expect from OtterBox and I recommend this for anyone who needs a minimal low-profile case.

I love this thing. The OtterBox Reflex Series is exactly what I needed for My iPad. iPads without a case are so slick and hard to hold onto that I was constantly in fear of it slipping out of my hands, or off my lap. This OtterBox solved that problem two ways. It's easy to hold on to and if it were to fall it is protected from damage by the OtterBox cover. This is the third one I have bought as I keep giving mine to my grandchildren to protect their iPads. I highly recommend this particular style OtterBox as it is the only one I have experience with. I let my 18 month old great grandson play baby games on my iPad, and don't worry when he drops it on the carpet. It has been dropped a few times and was not damaged at all.

Not bullet proof but has saved my pad many times. It fits great, and the sound tube for the speaker actually makes the pad sound MUCH better. The front cover snaps on and off easily, and doubles as a remarkably handy stand.The cover/stand is a bit tough to unfold for the first dozen or so times. Once the plastic rounds off a bit it's perfect.No screen protector is a plus. I like to see all of the pixels. If I scratch glass I need to be reminded...

So, I'm an Otterbox fan for a while now and after trying a cheaper case (non-Otterbox, my mistake!) and ending up with a cracked screen, I shopped for a new case (to protect the new screen). I liked the look of this case and that it is not really bulky. I have silver backed, black faced iPad 3 and when this case is on it, it looks almost black. The green is just as bright as depicted though. I've had it for almost 2 months and have butterfingered the thing a couple of times - no dents, no cracks. The catch to lock the stand is tricky and kind of hard to undo when you want to lay it back flat. I actually broke the piece it locks in to off. Filed a warranty claim with Otterbox and had a replacement in a few days though, so am being a bit more careful and choosy about how much I am using the stand part this time round. Overall a good case.Update: the case is protecting the iPad from drops and dings, but the stand function was not well thought out. I got the warranty replacement and within a week, the tab the stand clicks in to was cracked on one side. Eventually it will break off again and I won't be able to use the case as a stand (as designed).Another update: as predicted, the replacement case tab for the stand broke off less than 5 weeks after receiving the replacement case. I left it at there stars because as a case, it gets 4 stars for protection and looks, but as a stand, it gets a 1 star.....

Ésta funda me agrada mucho, protege de maravilla el Ipad, es liviana y cómoda de usar. contiene también una tapa que puedes doblar para usar como base/cubrepantallas, pero ésta se rompió muy rápido. la funda en sí me sigue funcionando perfecto

A great iPad case. Protects the iPad from damage but isn't heavy, clunky or awkward to hold. Easy to put on and remove, as well.

Really disappointed and will be returning it. It is really heavy to hold, and your arms get pretty tired after a while. I ended up taking off the front cover just to cut down on the weight, which is stupid because now the front isn't protected. That doesn't even work because the cover has sharp edges on it and so it isn't anywhere near as comfortable to hold as a Smart cover. Finally, as previous reviewers have said, unlocking the stand is pretty painful - you have to yank hard on it everytime. It's a shame beause it is defintely a sturdy cover, and does a good job of protecting the iPad

I regret buying it - my previous otterbox was transpartent back and black top/stnd and came with a rubber antislip cover - the transparent part cracked and the rubber antislip cover does not fit over the new case... it is hard to get on and off and adjust the volume is tough. It only thing nice about it is the color. Wish I could return it and get something else

It's a lot of money to pay for a piece of plastic. That's true of all covers.
