It is what it is at this point I bought it. Wish I didn’t and will be looking for another option.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey there Njcg55,
We're sorry to hear that this iPad accessory wasn't exactly what you were looking for. What exactly about the Utility Latch didn't meet expectations? We would love to grab more details to see if we can help at all! Please feel welcome to call our playful Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll dive right in!
I've only been using it everyday for a couple of weeks now and it has met my expectations. I am still skeptical about the rubber loops for the corners and hope they won't break. Overall, I'm happy with this purchase.
I purchased the Latch for my Samsung Tab S4. Straps keep it secure, however the one strap covers the "on" button. This causes the tablet go into screen saver mode. Additionally, the rotating handle needs to be mounted at a different angle. Very awkward to hold with left hand in portrait mode. I hope that when the Defender case comes out for this tablet it will help with the button problem. Otherwise the Latch is useless for me.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey there Otter user,

I have an old iPad2, so I bought this being a little unsure if it'd fit and work right, but it's awesome. Really comfortable to hold in my hand with the handle on the back, and I love that the strap case doubles as a way to prop up the iPad. Highly recommend.
I spent much time researching for a product to assist in carrying my IPad. I understand the comments about the rubber breaking after assembling my carrier. Thus far Find this exactly what I was looking for. I own the Otterbox/Defender for my other IPad and Iphone. Love and trust the product and it’s name.
