I chose the Otterbox Defender, and although it was heavy and bulky, it kept my iPad 3 protected and when I went to sell it, it was still in prestine condition. When I updated the iPad again, I immediately ordered a Defender for it too. Based on years of experience with the Defender case (and one for an old iPhone), here are my thoughts on this model:
1. The front cover/stand has been redesigned so now you can prop the iPad up in portrait as well as landscape. They added a small lip to hold the iPad, which the iPad 2/3 model did not have. I see this as a step forward.
2. The rubberized shell has much heavier flaps. I suppose this is to prevent them from tearing off as easily, which happened with my iPad 2/3 case (and was replaced under warranty by Otterbox). I have found that the flaps on this case are VERY difficult to pop open -- and, due to a "plug" that extends from the flap, they bend way out when a sync cable is plugged in, bulging on top. This makes me think they are going to tear sooner. At the very least, they push much heavier on the sync cable than the previous model. This may be a bad thing. I see this a step back.
3. The cover/stand no longe rhas magnets in it. The previous model had two, so no matter which way you clamped it on the iPad, it would detect the magnet and shut off the screen. One of my magnets fell off the old case, so at least not having them prevents that from happening. But, the auto-off was a nice feature. This is a tie -- one less thing to break, but one less feature.
4. EVEN with the bulk of the case, the iPad Air 2 is still super light and tiny -- unlike the heft the previous case added to the iPad 2/3. I don't expect this is due to the case being lighter (other than just needing less material), but either way, it makes the iPad feel much more like a thin light device than a brick like the old case did. This is a plus, though the case isn't necessarily what causes that. Apple's size reduction did.
Everything else I liked about the previous case is here. Overall, other than the difficult flaps, I like this case better than the earlier models.
Otterbox replaced three components on my previous case. A drop broke the corner of the cover/stand, which they replaced under warranty. THe screen protector got really scratched up from a stylus, which they replaced under warranty. The rubber shell had the sync port flap break off, which they replaced under warranty. When they magnet fell off, they were going to replace something for me for $2.99 out-of-warranty. I can't say enough about how great the Otterbox support folks have been. I don't feel any of these things were really defects with the product -- it's just, with daily use to charge, that flap will open and close and eventually will break. Keep that in mind, and make sure you know there is a good warranty.
There are a few more exposed areas on thisc ase due to this model iPad having two speakers and some more sensors that need access to light (apparently), but overall it's a great upgrade. No iPad should be without this unless you only use it on a desk and it never travels or could get dropped.
