I have an Otterbox Defender for my iPad 1.
The Otterbox Defender is big, bulky, heavy and ugly.
But, my iPad has been dropped on the ground, and on cement. My three-year-old has thrown it from our bed onto the floor. It has bounced around and slid all over the floor of my truck while out ice fishing. It has been launched from the dashboard of my truck into the backseat while out in the bush.
My iPad has taken an extraordinary amount of crap and abuse over the course of two years. It goes to the gun range with me, fishing with me, canoeing with me (in an additional waterproof bag), I use it for navigation and take it camping, . . . you name it. It doesn't have a scratch. The Otterbox does have a little piece broken out of the removable dock door, and the front cover doesn't fit quite as snugly as it used to.
The Otterbox has been worth every penny (despite how horribly big, bulky, heavy and ugly it is).
