First, the positives: 1) Sturdy case that clearly protects your iPad, especially on the corners with plenty of soft rubber padding. 2) Hand strap for people working with their iPad. I didn't personally have a need for it, but it would seem to be very beneficial for those who work on their iPad a lot in a mobile capacity. 3) Kickstand seems to be firm and not in danger of breaking anytime soon. 4) Pencil holder was good and kept it in place when charging, and I found it to be easy to release the pencil quickly.The one negative, which ultimately made me move on to a slimmer, lower-profile case: The bulkiness, especially those super-protected rubber corders and sides.I'm a big guy with big hands, yet honestly it was not comfortable for me to hold the iPad naturally on the sides and stretch to type with my thumbs. The bulkiness just made it so my fingers had to stretch too far. I could do it, but it never felt comfortable.Lastly, the bulkiness was also too much, in my opinion, covering the Touch ID fingerprint reader. Really, you have to jam your finger in their a bit, which really negates the ease of use, in my opinion.I think this case would be good for those who really need extra protection while being mobile, and also would be good for kids, as they wouldn't need to worry so much about typing on the screen like I did.Overall, well made and delivered, but I did move on to another slimmer case that I like more within 2 or 3 days time.This case is amazing, I have a sleep disorder and I drop my iPad on the tile ground anywhere from 5-40 times a night. Not at all an exaggeration. This case has saved my iPads life. It has a silicone rim around the entire case that is thick and truly protects the iPad. After over a year of using the case I only have a hairline fracture through the screen. Considering it’s dropped on tile hundreds if not thousands of times, I am incredibly grateful for the case. I highly recommend, especially if you are known to drop your device frequently.We bought this case and at first, it was too hard to hit the volume buttons. That was key for us. You had to put together the case in just the right order and make sure everything aligned for the buttons to hit properly. With no instructions, we didn't know to look out for this. But overall, it was a good case. I can't rate on longevity.I appreciate that it is protective, but It is so big that I can’t get to all of the things near the cover.Great quality and its double protection but the only con about this case is the back stand.Love this case. I got the blue one. The color is just as pictured, seems very sturdy. I love the strap that it comes with. Easy to carry around my shoulder and keep my hands free.To bulky around power button. Can’t do finger print to start tablet.Too new to know what time will tell, but I had a very similar cover without the screen protector which served very well since 2019. Unfortunately my iPad fell onto a metal corner directly on the screen. So this is an attempt to protect the new screen. Installation instructions could have been more helpful for those of us who have never installed a glass protector. Also the sound controls are a bit dodgy, but not useless. So far it appears to be a great value, sturdy and encasing the iPad entirely. I have loved the hand strap on my old one and now this one.
