Question: does it fit the ipad 4 and why is it so much cheaper than others
Document: I just bought the new IPAD for me and my 2 year old son, who loves playing with different apps on my iPhone. Knowing he was going to be using it much of the time, I knew I needed a very sturdy and protective case. I have an otterbox for my iphone and it has withstood the worst of torture from my son and my job ( on a construction site). I ordered this case in black because it was cheaper than all the others.
Case is durable and rugged. If you have kids, this is the case for you. I now feel comfortable letting my young children use the ipad.3. Quality-Fit and finish on the case is excellent. Case fits ipad perfectly. No issues with the screen protector as others have mentioned. Just make sure the ipad screen and cover are perfectly clean before putting the ipad in the case.4.
Name brand Otterbox defender case for my ipad 4. Way cheaper than in stores. Easy to install and fits very snuggly. I have had no problems and front screen protector is nice to have which also turns into a stand. Very happy with my purchase.
I bought this for my 4 year old to protect the iPad, he has no problems with it and it was easy to install after reading the detections (me not him lol!) It's WORTH THE MONEY, we have 2 iPads and I wish I had bought the same one for me. I cheaper out on my case with a off brand and its junk compared to the OtterBox.iPad 2, good value, quick shipping.
The fit is exacting to the Ipad. The color matches the advertisement. It has been in use about a month, the protective screen cover is holding up well to daily use. I have not dropped it but have seen others intentionally drop their Ipads in an OtterBox with no observed damage.
I didn't want to spend $80 on an ipad case. But after spending 18-30$ 4 times on the imitations, I realized I could have had bought 1 otterbox. The cheaper cases are nice but the kickstand broke on all of them, leaving me to hold the ipad to try to take self videos for YouTube. Holding it while cooking to read recipes and trying to lean it on a towel to watch tv.The otterbox is a little bulky with the stand being separate , but guess what ?
I have a screen protector on the iPad itself, so I'd imagine that's why I haven't saw the rainbow effect the others were talking about.Other than that, I think this is the better case. It looks better and its functionality is a lot better. The silicone coating on this one seems to be made of a tougher material and the actual plate that holds the iPad seems to be a tighter fit. I'd recommend it.
I had just bought a new iPad, and the letterbox at best buy was $129.99. This is the exact same item at a much cheaper price. I love it!
I hate to talk about this but I will to let others know how awesome this is. My son has intentionally slammed his IPad in the OtterBox to the wood floor from standing (he is 4 ft 10 in.) He did this with the case on and not the stand that also serves as a top cover when the IPad is not being used. The screen is still fine and the IPad works as always.
We purchased 4 of these so everyone in our house would have their iPads protected! You can't go wrong with an otter box! Perfect product and you can't find it cheaper anywhere else!
Answer: Yes, I have an iPad 4 and it fits perfectly.  If you check current prices on Amazon, some of the other styles are lower in price as well -- the more expensive styles appear to be exactly the same (from the pictures).  Not sure what gives, but if you're not thrilled with the all black color, you may just want to wait a bit and see what happens with the prices.
