I work for an hvac contractor and we have 15 of these tablets, 9 of them have this case and all of the techs love them. They protect the device against being dropped while still allowing you to plug things into the ports without having to use an added cable to access your ports on the device. Overall I would (and do) recommend this case to anyone interested in a case for their device. I love how it comes with a stand as well because you can set it on the table and use it to read instead of having to look down at the tablet.
I bought Samsung Galaxy Tab St 9.7" Outterbox Defender Series for my cousin who is a 67-year-old Vietnam War Veteran who not only has a prosthetic leg but was at one point in time confined to a bed and mostly paralyzed...and told he would never walk again. Yet he does walk again, he proved his doctors and nurses wrong. Sadly his balance is severely compromised so he does stumble and fall often. This keeps his tablet safe and running and allows him plenty of enjoyment without having to worry that he will break or damage it in any way. I am VERY pleased with this product.
Ever since I broke the screen on my iPad a few years ago, I have always used otter box for all my devices! I absolutely love the cases and they protect them very well.
