OtterBox DEFENDER for Samsung Galaxy TAB A (9.7) NO S Pen - Retail Packaging - BLACK

I had an Otterbox for my phone and their waterproof cases, as well, so I know how great their quality is, but this was advertised as NEW and its anything but! Smudges that wont come off and scratches on the cover. I will never buy anything from this vendor again!

Otter box as always you never disappoint.

This time it paid off! Ordered this as retail packaged, but it thankfully came complete. Defender is THE case to get, and if you can get one for $12, its awesome!

Great product issue is they send the wrong size every time. This is very upsetting.

Protects my tablet perfectly.

Best protective case to buy for any tablet! As he title says this otter box is the best protection you can buy for any tablet or phone. The one I am reviewing is the one made for the galaxy tab A 9.7 inch. I did buy the otter box from BestBuy by the way. To start things off I want to say I really like this hard case. If you are not for sure what its made out of or how it feels it has 2 layers of protection. The inner part of the case has a hard plastic shell with a built in screen protector and the outer part has a tough rubbery feel to it. The outer rubber part does not feel sticky at all so dont worry about anything sticking to it because it wont. Once you carefully install the otter box on the tablet it has a nice solid feel to it. It does add a little weight to the tablet but not so much that it will make you want to take it off. I really like the built in screen protector it does not feel cheap at all and also has a nice feel to it. Wiping off finger prints is easy and also the screen protector keeps the screen from getting scratched which is good its the main reason to have a screen protector lol. It can be hard to install this otter box because of the screen protector. If dust or hair get under the screen protector it will be easy to see once you turn your tablet on which makes it very annoying if you dont watch out. The dimpled back is not as bad as I thought it would be I actually dont mind it. Another great thing about this otter box is that it has cut outs for all the ports and also has rubber flaps that go over the ports to keep the ports from getting dust in them. Using the buttons such as the volume buttons and power button is easy to use since a little part of the case is raised up a little further to allow you to push the buttons. The added screen cover/stand is a great bonus since it allows me to prop up my tablet to view things without me having to hold it and when I am done with the stand it folds up and snaps right on to the otter box itself adding protection to the screen. If I had to say something that I do not like about this otter box it would have to be how there is a cut out for the front camera. I understand why they made a cut out but I dont like it since it allows dust to get under the screen protecter making it very hard to keep the dust out for a long time. I would have to take off the otter box completely just to blow the dust out. My easy fix is placing a small piece of transparent tape over the cut out so it keeps any dust out while still allowing me to use my front camera. At the bottom I will list the pros and cons about this otter box. Pros 1. Rock solid protection all in one case 2. Rubber flaps keep dust out of ports while making it easy to access them 3. Feels very nice to hold and easy to grip 4. Makes my tablet look good 5. Kick stand folds up allowing me to snap on to the otter box to add protection to the screen 6. Easy to find in stores ( at least for me it was) Cons 1. Price (about $80.00 is what I paid) 2. Adds some weight to the tablet 3. Cut out for the front camera allowing dust to enter under the screen protector 4. Its a pain to keep the dust out when installing the case Overall my experience with this specific otter box is great, I think its worth the price you pay for this case. It is expensive yes but you are getting something that will protect your tablet 95% of the time something that feels good to use and looks good to. It does not get in the way of the ports at all and still allows me to use my tablet easily. If you are someone who hates adding any type of weight to there tablet the I would have to say at least give it a try. Maybe go to the store to try out for yourself. See if you like the feel and weight of it for yourself because you never know until you try. If anyone has a question even if you think its a dumb question please feel free to ask I would be happy to help:)

Spouse swears by these device covers but they are not easy to remove when you want to use your device.

Item arrived exactly on time and was exactly as described. Very sturdy and the stand comes in extra handy!!! I am extremely satisfied!

Just a tad too small for my tablet... love and trust Otterbox, but was just a hair off...:( had to send it back. But shipping and everything else was great!

Worth it when the time comes, because it happens to everybody, when you least expect it. The screen protection alone has saved me. This has a higher quality feel than all of the other phone and tablet cases I have used, hands down. I like to use the included Vertical Device Stand (kickstand) for landscape viewing and movies, too. It has a professional look for business, work, and travel purposes. Highly recommended.
