Solid case / stand…I love the new design. It sits at a nice angle both in portrait and landscape mode. And I also appreciate that this one doesn’t have the removable side piece to expose the area on the side where it charges the Apple Pencil. The only thing I don’t like is that it only holds the Apple Pencil. The Logitech Crayon won’t fit in there. Kind of a limitation…
It has taken me a bit to familiarize myself with the versatile stand that is built into the case. The mechanism to change the angle seems a little bendy and thin, it makes a lot of creaking noises upon moving, so hopefully this won’t affect its longevity. Everything else about it is good and as expected from Otterbox.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We're sorry to hear you're having a creaky sorta experience with the Defender Series case. That wasn't anything that gave us cause for concern during our internal testing, so we're wondering if a brand-new warranty replacement would help to quiet all that noise.
If you want to give it a fresh go, or if you end up sticking with your current one and do end up having some sort of issue with the stand (we don't expect that), just ping our friendly Otters through the following link, and we'll be glad to help get one in the works!
