Unfortunately, the case I recieved had the packaged damaged but the case itself wasnt "damaged" as in broken, but it did come with this long scratch mark on the back of it. Yeah, that kind of sucks being brand new to me but it's not going to effect the performance of the product.So anyway, I have this type of otterbox case on my last tablet and loved it. Because it comes with an extra hard plastic piece that doubles as protecion and as a kick stand. So I purchased the same kind of otterbox case for my new tab s6. I feel very protected with this case. I like that it has a plug to seal up the charging port to keep dust out and all the cutouts line up perfectly. Everything fits nice as snug as it should.I would never feel comfortable paying this much for a case but it is completely worth it especially when the tablet itself was +$600, youd want to have an expensive case for it as well.Only one thing.The built-in screen protector does not allow you to use the fingerprint scanner built into the screen of the tablet. I know some people have said they have no problems but I also see a lot of reviews saying the opposite. That's one of the reasons why I bought this tablet to begin with was to use the fingerprint scanner as security. I ended up taking out the built-in plastic which was not difficult at all and I stuck on the tempered glass protector. This isn't something I normally do with my devices bc the built-in screen protector helps against spilling of any liquids and keeps the liquid from getting inside the case. But with a tempered glass screen protector, any liquid will easily get into the rest of the case. But honestly I'm happy with this decision because the tempered glass is more slick feeling, feels great with my fingers and much easier to use the S Pen, more than likely will also be less friction on the tip where I won't have to change it as often. However, with the tempered glass on instead, the fingerprint reader doesn't nessesarily work 100% of the time, but still way better then 0% of the time with the built-in plastic.Otherwise I highly recommend this particular OtterBox tablet case. Unfortunately there are other OtterBox tablet cases but they're just like the cases for your phone where it's just one big piece of hard plastic that wraps around the back half of your phone/tablet with no protection on the front side except the lip around the edges where if you were to drop it 100% flat on the ground then the sides the glass won't get hit but it provides zero protection for the screen otherwise.That's why I recommend this specific case for Samsung Galaxy Tab S6. (If you don't like this one my next recommendation is called unicorn beetle. Search that on Amazon.)---------‐--‐------------------------------------------------Update: November 16th, 2020I was answering some of those questions that have no answers yet on the Amazon's selling page for this case and came across someone answering a question about storing the s-pen and the person answered with saying that the hard case you can use as a kick stand has a little snap in spot where the kick stand pops up. I remember seeing that spot before but it didn't seem like it was meant for the s-pen. Turns out it is thoughl! You have to turn your s-pen sideways and give it a little firm push and it snaps right in! I looked back at the advertisement and took a closer look at the pictures. To my surprise, the pictures actually do show the s-pen snapped in! But looking at the pictures, that feature is not something that stands out. They should have photoshopped the picture more to show the s-pen that's in the background. I also checked the description and no where does it mention this.But anyway, now that I've discovered that, I'm even more happy with this case bc I really don't like the idea of leaving the s-pen constantly on its charger. Same idea with your phone, wanting to avoid overcharging and the batterys life not lasting as long as it should otherwise.

TL;drGeneral:*Perfectly snug fitment.*Allows for a glass screen protector underneath the integral screen protector*Excellent fit and finish for the asking price @time of writing (≈$80.00)*Has added a level of utility to the device itself I did not anticipate*Detachable cover adds a level of versatility I had not known with any of the tablets I have owned over the years.*Should make this device both child proof and fall off of a roof from the third story resistant which only adds to the value proposition for the right buyerI preordered the T-Mobile G1 and for the uninitiated, this was the very first Android phone.I remember sometime around or after 2010 OtterBoxes started showing up on my friends devices as they got onto the smart phone bandwagon and I was always floored by the pricing and never really looked at the company's offerings over the years. Now, I get it.I purchased the Galaxy Tab A 10.1 for one very specific reason and that is because it does not have an OLED screen and not subject to screen burn in for its dedicated task which is to maintain a static screen reading out my heart rate while I work out on my elliptical and treadmill. Essentially, it's a throwaway device to me so when I was cruising through the Vine available products and saw an Otterbox for my exercising tablet I initially scrolled on by as I already had a silicone case and glass screen protector on it but I decided to request it anyway.An addendum to the TL;dr is that the detachable cover’s fool-proof but versatile uses has made my tablet much more than a single use device for me. That it securely holds the tablet in portrait and landscape mode has had me using it much more around the house and out and about than I ever intended. There has been minimal damage to the case and none to the device having been thrown in the backpack, trunk or the back seat before everything else gets loaded up. I carry it with confidence anywhere I *might need* a tablet for any reason and in turn I have found myself carrying it more and more.Initially when rating this I gave it five stars across the board: Overall, Durability, Value for the Money, Easy to Hold. ≈$80 is a lot of loot for a device I spent $179.99 on so for that reason and that reason alone I reduced it to 4 stars on the value. The reason being is that for my use case and despite the novel-to-me functionality it has brought in addition to the supremely robust level of protection it provides and for a parent who does not want to have device after device destroyed from standard child abuse of electronics it is a lot of money for such a cheap device. It will keep the Tab A in physically great form well longer than the device will be useful from either driving electronic obsolescence or battery failure. It adds value to the device itself in its simple, fast, and easy stand functions. You will probably find yourself using the Tab A or any device you might shod with an Otterbox Defender case because the concern of breakage is effectively rendered null and void by the nature of the excellent design. Whether or not this is the case for you in this application I recommend Otterbox Defender class cases because at the end of the day you are getting what you paid for. They have made me both a believer and a customer for all of my mobile device needs going forward.

The OtterBox is a very sturdy case designed with several layers of protection. There is a hard shell that the tablet sits in that is then wrapped in a silicon rubber section and finished with a hard-plastic framed screen that snaps on top of the multilayered case. In addition to these layers, the OtterBox also has a hard-plastic cover with reinforced corners that snap over the multilayered case for additional case protection and transport. The cover can also be used as a base to support the protected tablet for tabletop reading or YouTube viewing. Assembly instructions are included in the box.This black case is for the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1" 2019 version.The Galaxy tablet version specification was a little confusing to me. I just bought my Galaxy Tab A 10.1” tablet a few weeks ago and intuitively thought it to be a 2020 version. After comparing the buttons, ports, and camera locations of my Galaxy Tab A to the case cutouts, I now know that it is a 2019 version that is the case that would fit it. This was further confirmed by checking the Samsung Galaxy website. There was no newer Galaxy 10.1” tablet listed on their site; the 2019 model T510 is the latest version.The dual-use case cover has slightly raised rubber feet so that the tablet, when mounted on the cover in portrait or landscape orientation, is stabilized on a tabletop. It has a pop-up scissor tablet support and attaches to the case in three ways; over the face as a cover, snapped onto the back for storage when using the tablet, or laying on a table with the tablet propped up in it for use as a monitor.The screen protector is a thick hard clear plastic; it’s several times thicker than the cell phone screen protectors I’ve used in the past. It snaps onto the pliable plastic tablet case, the first protection layer described earlier that goes on the tablet before the silicon protective wrap is put on. The screen protector’s thickness does not impede the tablet’s use as fingertip tablet navigation was just as fast as it was without the screen protection cover. There was no view screen distortion from the added clear plastic screen protective layer.All tablet buttons are accessible with this case, although I did have to push the rubber covered volume and on/off buttons harder to get them to function. There are small rubber case flaps that must be opened to access the charging and earphone connection ports. These were most likely designed into the case as a tablet water damage protection feature. There is no covering over the tablet’s speakers leaving the tablet’s sound unimpeded. Other than the speakers, the only other unprotected opening on the encased tablet is the microphone port.This case is the best of the best in Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1” protection. I have an OtterBox case on my cell phone that has resulted in it surviving several three-foot drops on my driveway so I know this works. If your primary need for a case is tablet protection, the OtterBox case is the best tablet protector that you’ll find.

When the iPad Mini 5 first came out there weren't really any cases that i liked but there were plenty that would satisfy the "This will do for now" category. A little after a year i finally came across this case. This was exactly what i was looking for. It allows the color of the iPad to show thru it and it is offers protection from scratches and minor bumps and dings.It also allows for the pencil to be held as well with the case. The pencil holder works fine, but i noticed it does sit lower when the pencil is attached. This makes it to where the iPad doesn't sit flat on the surface with the pencil attached (however it is very close to, See picture as it is slightly raised)

I really love this case. I found a Bluetooth keyboard for it that folds in half and I have all of my textbooks on my iPad in E-book format. I use it for my notes and I use it to play games. I use it ever single day for college. I was going to get a laptop case, but after spending 110 to fix my iPad screen i wanted to make sure that I never had to pay another penny for it again. For me, this case is an investment for something that will be useful to me long term. I think that with this case, I will never have to fix it again unless somebody’s takes it and tries to ram it against their knee. It certainly wont break when I drop it. ANYWAYS, enough raving.

This Otterbox case was purchased to protect an iPad for use by children in an educational environment. It comes in two parts - a sturdy case that encloses the iPad, and a separate 'lid' that also acts as a stand for the encased iPad. The main case is made of a soft-feel rigid plastic and includes a plastic shield to protect the iPad screen while still allowing touchscreen functions (with finger or soft-tip stylus pen) and access to the main control button.The lid is of hard plastic and clips over the front of the case for storage, but also includes an internal hinged stand against which the iPad can be propped in use. Unfortunately the stand is not adjustable; it allows only two possible angles for viewing the screen,

I have to supply my own iPad, so I did not do any drop tests to verify, but this is my third Defender for an iPad, and I remain confident in the protection ability on this one as with its predecessors. But there is a price for this—It is heavy, compared to the device it is protecting, and MUCH bulkier, especially with the gigantic snap-on cover installed. I have used this around the house for a couple of days, and frankly I can’t wait to get it off my tablet!The reason I love my iPad mini is because it is incredibly light and easy to hold even with one hand. This case nullifies that advantage. Unless for some reason I absolutely had to use an iPad mini (instead of a larger model)

I recently purchased a new tablet - the Samsung Tab A 10.1 (2019). I also bought a case for it, but what arrived was a piece of junk, so I sent it back. I frantically began to look for another, but everything I saw looked like more junk.Then, I was browsing through Amazon's Vine Listing and I came upon the Otterbox Defender for Samsung Tab A 10.1. Wow! I know Otterbox well as I have used their covers for several cell phones over the years. Of all the merchandise I buy from all the on-line vendors I deal with, Otterbox is on the short list of companies that I trust above the others.In fact, I trust Ottorbox so much that when I saw the listing for this product I knew I had solved my dilemma,

I’ve had the defender series cases on my devices for as long as I can remember... all the way back to the iPhone 5 days.So when I got my new iPad Pro 11”, I bought a defender case the same day.I’m overall very pleased with it. It’s a sturdy case, and feels well protected. I always peel out the integrated screen protector (plastic) and instead fit a glass screen protector and clip the device into the case as normal. I find this works better and doesn’t allow dirt to build up over time between the device and the plastic screen protector.My only complaint with this case though is that there is a flap for the Apple Pencil to be able to attach to the side of the iPad - and it does do that job.

I have purchased OtterBox products for many of my handheld devices throughout the years and have been very pleased. When I remove the covers all of my devices look like new. Even though I have dropped my phones or IPad, I was always relieved that my devices never broke because they were protected in the OtterBox case. I recently purchased the IPad Air 3. After reading some of the negative reviews I was hesitant to buy the Otterbox Defender for my new IPad Air. But since I have had great success using Defender cases on my other purchases, I decided to take my chances and buy the OtterBox Defender for my IPad Air 3 as well. There were reviews stating that their new IPad Pro or Air broke while putting it in the OtterBox case.

Loving the case so far. It's sturdy, I feel like my investment is protected very well. I love that the case and the outer shell snaps together into this fortress of safety for my iPad. I almost feel like it's protected like those industrial laptops you see being used at construction sites when it's all snapped together.It's a bonus that the inside of the case has an attempt at a stand for the iPad. The instructions included with the packaging denotes that it has 4 heights to hold up the iPad. There are only 2, extremely high or very low. There's no happy medium. But honestly, with everything else this does, I'm not too upset. If that could be improved in future editions of this case,

I have been using the Otterbox Defender Case on my Samsung tablet for several months. It made the trip with me several times a week to my mother's hospice facility and I felt confident that my tablet was safe. The case totally encloses the tablet and most openings are covered with a moveable tab. The cover is not 100% waterproof but I believe it would be adequate protection from minimal exposure to liquids such as rain or a small spill. I like how the detachable front cover can be used as an easel to hold the tablet at a slant for typing or reading in landscape mode. It was a bit less than adequate when used for portrait mode but it can be used in that position.

My 13 year old son has a 5th generation iPad that he is constantly toting around and traveling with. His first thought as we took this out of the box was that it was heavy, and then we had some initial trouble getting the three-part assembly apart. Once we figured out the approach - removing the silicone protective cover and then clicking several plastic tabs around the perimeter to get the top of the case off the bottom - it took us only a few minutes to install the iPad into the case. The case incorporates a screen protector and cover for the home switch. Once installed, the entire assembly works well and the screen protector does not cause any difficulties in iPad operations; the home switch works correctly in terms of fingerprint detection.

Reasons I love this case:1. Excellent protection all around.2. Very comfortable feel holding the case and slightly grippy but not too much. Not at all slippery.3. Built in screen protector works excellent! I was hesitant to buy this case mostly because of the built in screen protector. I was afraid it would diminish the beautiful iPad Pro screen and introduce glare. Well I can't notice it. No bubbles, no rainbows, etc. It does add a little more glare when a light source is reflecting off at just the right angle but not much at all.4. The Apple pencil works perfectly. No lag, delay, nada. Another plus to the built in screen protector is that it adds just slightly more friction when using the Apple pencil.

The Otterbox Symmetry cover arrived in a box with a slide out inner box containing the cover. It looks and feels robust with a clear (though yellowy tinged) rubber edging with a removable side edge that slides off to fit my iPad Pro Smart Keyboard, this for me was important as other covers need to be taken off every time i want to use my keyboard, yet the keyboard does not offer any protection on my iPad Air, so this Otterbox cover seemed ideal.I will say it took me ages to get it fitted onto my iPad as its so tight fitting, which is a good thing but a pain to initially do. I followed the basic picture instructions but in the end i found it easier to put the closed side in first.
