OtterBox Launches New Cases for iPad Pro, iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 4

by

OtterBox today announced the debut of new protective cases designed for the iPad Pro, the iPad mini 4, and the iPad Air 2. The Defender Series is being updated with cases for the iPad Pro, the Profile Series is being updated with cases for the iPad Air 2, and a new Symmetry Series Folio is available for the iPad mini 4.

The Defender Series for iPad Pro, priced at $129.95, includes a built-in screen protector to keep the tablet's display free from scratches, and like other cases in the Defender Series, its three-layer design protects the iPad from drops and dust. It also includes a shield stand for use when watching videos. Unique to the iPad Pro is a slot that holds the Apple Pencil.

I loved my first OtterBox cover on my iPhone 4s. But my recent pricey cover on the 6s is a disaster. The built-in plastic screen protector is very reflective... the home button is covered and is not responsive every time for touchID... they've gone cheapo quality for mucho dinero. Adios!

Those circle cutouts to reveal the apple logo on cases look awful! Poor design.
