    Customers are mixed about the weight of the case. Some mention it's fairly thin and won't bulk up their iPad too much, while others say it'll add weight. The case is very rugged but lightweight enough so that your device does not. However, some say it’s a bit heavy and somewhat bulkier but the protection is worth it.

    Customers are mixed about the protection of the case. Some mention that it has a built-in screen protector that covers the screen, while others say that it provides no protection against drops.

    but it's perfect. I normally try to purchase products that are ...
    I was a little worried after reading some of the other reviews that this case may not align with the camera and volume buttons on my iPad Air 2, but it's perfect. I normally try to purchase products that are sold by Amazon, I feel that's the only way to guarantee if the product is authentic. Luckily, this is what I did even though other sellers had the case for cheaper. I'm happy with my "sold by Amazon" purchase and the case is as expected. This is my first time using Otterbox (I normally go for The Suvivor, by Griffin Technology (GT), but those cases are bulky, yet very secure. Otterbox seems secure as well, and I would say it's definitely a contender to GT Survivor case. My entire iPad fits into the polycarbonate shell which snaps together, and a rubber piece fits snugly around it (the back and all sides). I feel confident that this case will protect my iPad Air 2.
