Otterbox Defender are protective but not as functional as some with built-in tilting ability for me.
I really need to be able to use them on a desk or table and in my lap without external parts to loose or break.
...and the Otterbox Defender still has that unresolved, and unexplained, "oil slick" problem whereby it appears that the case presses so hard on the edges of the screen that what appears to be an "oil slick" appears on the screen.
Otterbox keeps trying to blame it on 3rd party screen protectos but has been very cagey about giving any specifics.
This can't be good for the longevity of an iPad contained within an Otterbox Defender.
