The otterbox is a sturdy, heavy contraption that makes me feel much more comfortable allowing my kids to play with the ipad.
I do wish it came with an anti-glare screen protector since it's basically impossible to use in sunlight.

I am the type of person who believes every gadget should have adequate protection...at least from my clumsy hands :). I had an Otterbox case years ago for my BB Pearl and remembered they were a good brand. Before buying the case, I used one of those silicon rubber cases that only protects the back and sides (barely) that I purchased with the iPad for $40. A few months later I tried a folio-type case, but it was too obstructive. After a few returns to Best Buy, I finally waited somewhat patiently for this case.
People who criticize the iPad for it's price are crazy, because I've paid $40 for a case that offers 1/8 of the protection the Otterbox provides. I thought it was a steal for $50 bucks, considering it MSRP's for $90.
I will admit, the Otterbox is one beastly case, but I am a big guy so lugging an extra 1-1/2 pounds is nothing. I can see how some people, primarily women, are turned off by the case. It isn't attractive, either, so stylistas beware. I love the fact I can cover the screen when not in use, and that the stand lets me watch movies while sitting on an airplane.
Before buying the case, I used an InvisiShield for the screen only, which was a huge mistake. The texture on the protector was awful, whereas the Otterbox screen guard felt natural, comparable to the iPad's original surface.
I'm not the best person at putting things together, hence having a couple screws left over from my Ikea furniture, but the Otterbox was easy to take on and off. Again, nothing too complicated, just take your time and do it right the first time. Dust clings to the iPad like a magnet, so use compressed air to remove the particles before sliding it in. The silicon tabs are a P.I.A., but work your way around the chassis slowly for maximum results.
The only complaint about the case is it is a dust magnet. The silicon on the back collects debris like crazy - dust, hair, dirt, etc add up quickly. Keeping the front cover on the back helps eliminate it slightly, but then dust just collects around the edge of the screen. No solution thus far except for a mildly wet cloth.
Unlike other idiots out there, I haven't tried to test the limits of the Otterbox, so I cannot tell you if it protects it from a fall. Based on my usage, it could withstand a fall from the bed or desk onto carpeting. Tile, which I have, tends to break electronics faster than other surfaces, but it MIGHT be safe. Dropping it from higher places may or may not be covered. (i.e. if it fell from a counter). I seriously watched someone try to purposely ruin their gadgets over on Engadget - what were they thinking?
Here is who I think will LOVE the iPad:
True Geeks, because they usually value durability over aesthetics.
Field Workers, because this case is ready for action despite the conditions.
Average People, who want to protect their $499 to $829 investment.
Parents, because the Otterbox protects the iPad from your kids sticky/dirty mitts. Businessmen, because the iPad stores nicely in a messenger bag while traveling.
Here's who I think should avoid the Otterbox (and sacrifice protection):
Anyone with a sense of fashion, as this isn't the prettiest case I've seen
People who think the iPad is too heavy, as this case adds a good 20 ounces to the bulk
Cautious people who can take care of their gadgets without needing a security blanket
The Otterbox Defender for iPad isn't right for everyone, but IT IS the best case available. In the end, looks and aesthetics outweigh practicality, durability, and safety.

The Defender for iPad is the best protection for the iPad I was able to find. Have no problem taking my iPad into the nastiest of environments.

Had heard good things about the Otterbox series of iPhone cases and decided that my ipad is valuable (more so with my data on it) and keeping it safe from bangs, drops and bumps was priority one. While the Otterbox for iPad is bulky and makes the ipad considerably heavier, its well worth the peace of mind that if I hand it to someone and they aren't as careful as I am about handling it, I won't watch in horror if it falls or is banging about.. .the tough exterior protection that Otterbox has created will work its magic and I'll have my iPad for many years to come (at least until the newer model comes out and I sell mine as mint condition). Thanks Otterbox!
