Otter Products engineers developed the Defender series iPad mini case to create the most usable & protective solution possible. The inner shell of the case is made from impact resistant polycarbonate that protects the back of your iPad from scuffs & scrapes. A screen protector is built into the polycarbonate shell to protect against scratches without compromising sensitivity. The outer layer is made from rugged silicone & absorbs impact while the textured exterior provides added grip. A shield stand acts as a protective cover to the front or back of the case & doubles as a kickstand for typing or watching movies. Enjoy your adventures with the compact & highly protective iPad mini case from Otter Box.
