Yes, I'd recommend this product.
A solid box for protecting my iPad mini. It was a little complicated to figure out, but we followed the instructions and got it installed. It’s pretty solid and seems like it will protect the iPad.

Worse otterbox purchase after all these years

Pencil door fell off I don’t even use it. This leaves the iPad unprotected and dust gets in. Long time otterbox customer but this case is junk. Mad it is going to cost me shipping for an inferior product.

I’m not sure which one you are asking about. I bought 2 for this iPad with the first one, the cover for the Apple Pencil broke off before I got the tablet installed. It went in the trash. I replaced it with another cover. At the same time I bought a case for my granddaughters Mini. It seems to work well and is very protective. Unfortunate it does not have provisions for the pencil. It works fine for her, but would be useless for me.

Old ones were better with better screen protection. This expensive case came with no screen protection ans is very hard to get on and off, much harder than the previous versions.

Hey there, Vince! We apologize for any confusion surrounding the Defender Series Pro case for your iPad mini (6th Gen), but you're correct in saying this case does not include a built-in screen protector. If that feature is important to you, we'd recommend checking out our standard Defender Series case which does have that built-in piece. We'll also provide a link to one of our installation videos for you below that we hope is helpful in getting that case on and off your device. Please feel free to give our friendly Otters a ring at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions or if you'd like to chat about this some more.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OXDeax6Sp0

Apple pen side of case breaks easily

Not the same quality I'm used to from Otterbox. The side where the Apple pen fits breaks very easily, and leaves the whole right side of the iPad exposed.

Just got the case and door for pencil is loose and pops out. Back rubber piece does not fit back of the ipad smoothly. Maybe I got a bad one, but quality seems very poor.

It does not come with the clear plastic screen protector that previous ipad minis have had.
