**Unboxing the OtterBox iPad Case: A Comprehensive Review**

The latest iPad case I've been reviewing is the one I've affectionately dubbed the "iPad 3". The first thing you'll want to do when setting up your new case is to drop it into the internal backing with that little bit of padding on it. This will provide an extra layer of protection for your device. Next, take the front portion with the built-in screen protector and clip it down. You'll hear a couple of snaps around the outside of the enclosure as you do this, indicating that everything is properly secured.

**Identifying the Snapping Regions**

It's worth noting that there are little arrows on the inside of the case to help you identify where the snapping regions are located. These arrows will guide you in ensuring that all parts of the case are properly clipped together. Once you've done this, you'll know that your case is secure and ready for use. The soft portion of the case is then fitted around the exterior of the backing, taking a bit of finesse to get it just right. However, with patience and care, you should be able to complete this process without any issues.

**Protection and Functionality**

The OtterBox iPad Case provides excellent protection for your device while still maintaining functionality. The case adds a little bit of weight to the iPad, but it's not excessive. It also has a very nice grip on it, making it easy to hold onto even with gloved hands. The Apple logo is still exposed on the back of the case, and there's a cutout for the camera, microphone, and power switch. However, the speaker is one of the few components that are not fully protected by the case.

**Stand Functionality**

One of the standout features of this case is its ability to function as a stand. The hard shell backing doubles as a two-state stage stand, which can be easily flipped into place when needed. This is very sturdy and provides excellent support for multimedia use, such as watching movies or playing videos on Netflix or YouTube. There are actually two positions available, with the first being more of a production orientation for typing, and the second being a consumption orientation for viewing media.

**Additional Features**

The OtterBox iPad Case also features a textured grip area on the back, which provides a secure hold for your hands. The volume rocker and orientation lock switch are both protected by the case, with the former requiring some gentle manipulation to use. Additionally, there's a clear plastic cover over the Apple logo to protect it from scratches. Overall, this case is very well-designed and provides excellent protection for your iPad while still allowing you to enjoy all its features.

**Conclusion**

I'm extremely impressed with the OtterBox iPad Case, and I'm excited to put it through some rigorous testing to see how it holds up. The combination of protection, functionality, and stand functionality makes this case a must-have for anyone looking to safeguard their device.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up guys it's Lou from unbox therapy and today we're taking a look at the Defender series case from OtterBox this is for both the new latest generation iPad and the iPad 2 so it'll work with either somehow they managed to manufacture a design that will work for both if you don't know who OtterBox is they make super robust cases for all kinds of devices and just like with their other products the instructions for installation are printed on the inside of the box now I'm not going to lie to you guys these are not the easiest things in the world to install I'll show you guys how to do it in this video here um but the idea is that you're going to leave it installed you're not going to want to be taking it in and out too often and you're going to get a ton of protection from this Defender series maybe the most protection available on the market or close to it so let's get a closer look at how it all works and fits together so there's four major components the first being the backing with a little bit of padding on the inside to protect your iPad and it also has a round um area to show off your Apple logo the front of that portion also has a screen protector built in so even your screen is going to be protected and then this silicone or rubberized portion is it fits around the outside of the Interior portion to complete the case and then there's even one more element on the far right here which is sort of a hard clipon back which also works as a stand with two different operating positions I'll show you that in a quick second so here's the latest iPad the iPad 3 as I've been calling it so the first thing you're going to want to do is drop it into the in internal backing with that little bit of padding on it then next you take the front portion here with the built-in screen protector as I said earlier and you clip that down you'll hear a couple of snaps around the outside of the enclosure and here's a closer look at how to identify the snapping regions they've got little arrows here so these are around the outside of the backing make sure they're all clipped together and then you'll know that you're good to go so next you're going to take this soft portion of the case and you're going to want to fit that around the exterior of the backing now this is going to take you a little while you sort of got to finesse it massage it around the outside um but once you get that all completed you get a nice package here that protects really everything everything's still access I mean the touch screen still works Etc even with that cover over top and it does add a little bit of weight as you might imagine it's a fairly robust case but it's got a really nice grip on it so you're definitely not going to drop this or I hope you're not going to drop it although if you were going to drop it you got the right case on to do so you've got your Apple logo still Exposed on the back and you've still got a cutout for your camera but that is covered there is a little piece of plastic over top now on the side you've got a little flap for covering your headphone jack or the top sorry I should have said the top your microphone has a small cutout and then of course your power switch is protected the speaker is exposed it's one of the few things on the case that's exposed kind of has to be so you can hear what the hell's going on and then you've got another flap on the bottom for your 30 pin dock connector along the side here you can get a better idea of how the silicone portion stays on there it Clips around some hard plastic portions and then you've got a nice textured grip area as I mentioned before here you can get an idea for the volume rocker and then the hold switch or orientation lock or however you use this switch here this is a little bit buried a little bit hard to get a hold of but I think the idea here is you're not going to be using this all that often and uh if you want to get inside there you got to use your right hand to lock it and your left hand to unlock it you know you kind of got to use both hands so here's a better look at the back side of the case and that cutout for the Apple logo there is um a a piece of clear plastic over top of the Apple logo so it is not completely exposed and of course you've got the OtterBox logo along bottom on the front side you have your home button which is protected some of the soft silicone is sitting over top of that portion and as I slide the iPad up here you'll see there's also a cutout for the forward-facing camera and of course ambient light sensor so the last thing to talk about is this hard shell backing and as I mentioned before it also functions as a two-state stage stand which is obviously convenient for various functionality so once it's on this thing becomes a tank it becomes fairly heavy but solid at the same time ton of uh ton of protection and if you pull it off it flips into a stand fairly easily and it's it's very sturdy as well so you go ahead and put it in this first position here this is sort of the multimedia position for viewing movies Netflix YouTube this will give you a better idea here from this angle so you can understand which two positions are available and how each one might be used so first and foremost you've got this sort of production sort of orientation where you can type get a nice typing angle on there and then the next one is more of the consumption orientation where you're going to have video playing back or your notification scrolling through but I'm really impressed with how sturdy this stand is how robust it is um this thing ain't going to fall off so anyway guys if you enjoyed this unboxing ing quick look overview Etc then please do like and favor this video as it does help me out a bunch I want to thank OtterBox for sending this out to me for review I'm really impressed with this case right now and I can't wait to uh put it through harass it a
