I love this case. It is durable, and the color (green) is perfect. It was easy to install and the stand works great. The one thing wrong with it is the closure. It will not open or close without tremendous pressure. I thought that after a few times it would work better but the problem remains.

Hi there,
We are sorry for any misunderstanding with the Profile Case for the iPad Air 2. It should have included a folio that protects the touchscreen while the device is not in use. If this part is missing or if you have any OtterBox questions please do not hesitate to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269. We are happy to help!
I use my Air2 mainly for reading magazines, newspapers, and books. I wanted a cover to (a) protect the iPad, (b) add a bit of thickness to make it easier to grasp (and keep me from dropping the iPad), (c) prop it at a comfy angle when I am seated at a desk or table, and (d) add a splash of color (the Mossy Green) so I don't leave it somewhere. The Profile case does all of that perfectly. I have none of the problems with the clasp that others have complained about. I added an inexpensive amFilm screen protector, which does not interfere with the Profile case.
Previously I used various keyboard folio cases, mainly Zagg, because I used the iPad as a sort of mini-laptop on trips rather than bring my 13" MacBook Air. I switched to a 12" MacBook, which isn't much bigger than the iPad and has a much nicer keyboard than the folios. Plus the folio was awkward when reading somewhere other than at a desk or table; the keyboard got in the way. So I decided to skip the keyboard and get just a case - and this is great.
the case itself seems good. it fits the ipad securely and offers protection. the design of the over is what i had issues with. when you fold the cover to the back of the ipad, there is a "middle section" that is smaller than the front and rear cover, so the ipad flops around. and the grooves in the stand do not properly hold the ipad up.
Doesn't fit right wont latch can't adjust the volume piece of junk

Hey there wally,
Yikes, sounds like this Profile series is feeling a little too tight! This is bizarre, since as long as you definitely have the iPad Air 2, this case should match-up seamlessly with your device. We apologize that this is happening, and our handy Otters would love to fix things up with some troubleshooting. Please don't hesitate to call them at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll do their best to mend the situation!
I did a great amount of research online and in stores before this purchase. I needed sturdiness and flexibility without a lot of bulk. This is the best case I found. The Otterbox name was an assurance of quality. I use my iPad a great deal; I love that it turns the iPad off when I close the case and on when I open it. Taking photos/video as is a breeze. The case is slim and sturdy and attractive. Multiple positions are possible, too. I love this. An enhancement to my new iPad.
