Pre-Review: Otterbox Defender case for iPad


Weighing in at 12 ounces, the Otterbox Defender offers three layers of protection for Apple's iPad. This thing is beefy and probably the closest the iPad can get to being drop/toddler proof. The case features a high-impact polycarbonate, two-piece shell which is then encased in a silicone skin. The third layer of protection is the included screen protector. The case also includes an external plastic hardshell that could be consider yet another layer. That hardshell is removable and acts as a stand for tabletop viewing. Like the Commuter case, the Defender also offers a removable dock door to docking with iPad accessories such as Apple's iPad Dock and iPad Keyboard Dock.

The Otterbox Defender is available in black and sells for $89.95.
