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.

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.

Poor fit and finish

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.

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

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

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

When I get electronics I always purchase Otterbox for myself. I am usually busy and the product is always great to have. Every time I purchase IPads for my grandsons (3) I get an Otterbox. 5 star product wouldn’t buy anything else for protection.

Primary purpose of the case is drop protection, seems like the case will do that well. I like the thought of the anti-microbial feature, but can't really evaluate it. We're using it with an Amplify Glass anti-microbial screen protector; they fit together well. Not using a Pencil2 (yet), but the case's flip-out door giving access to the tablet's mag attachment side, a long thin piece of plastic, does seem like a point of future weakness. Not an issue if you're not using the Pencil2, I think. The TPU flexible layer of the case assembly is the outer layer. Other Otterbox cases we're using have the rigid layer shell as the outside layer, with the TPU held to the inside. Maybe the reversal is an artifact of accommodating this tablet's design / layout? But, those reviewers who have noted that the outer flexible layer sags or pulls away in the Pencil2 charging area are on to something. I tried to get out ahead of future sags, snags, and tears by adding double-stick tape between case layers, but the tape didn't adhere well to the case materials. There may be a future warranty call. The top cover -- I used to use Seidio cases, while they were still available. Generally, I liked their little stand pieces in their tablet top covers (and my iPhone 6 kickstand case), so many useful positions to choose from, and easy to use. This Otterbox stand, for me, either holds the tablet up to near-vertical, too tall and near the edge of stability; or the cover stand lays the tablet near horizontal, too flat. There's no happy just-right intermediate position.

The stylus holder is cheap.

The stylus holder is cheap and breaks after a while. Mine lasted a year. Otherwise the case is fine. The screen protector is not part of the case for some reason on this model. Previous cases it was built in. On this version its either sold separately or you order as part of the kit.
