Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was really looking forward to protecting my investment with this case, unfortunately the low quality screen protector is too large a trade off for this protection. Pros + The case is rugged and fits well with access to all of the ports + Cover that doubles as stand is nice Cons - Poor quality screen protector - Screen protector cannot be removed without modification and possibly voiding the warranty - poor instructions for diss-assembly of case (not an issue for most but my mom would go crazy) - screen protector seems to float above the screen giving a "tic" sound when pressing and releasing at times I imagine the sacrifice in optics would not be as noticeable on an Ipad 2 but it is a huge detractor from the stellar screen of the Ipad 3. Pass on this case until the price drops and the screen is made removable or improved. Clear plastic optics are achievable, many others are doing it, it is a shame that otterbox would to this shortcut to presumably trim the margins. If Otterbox would include the protector instead of attaching it to the top portion of the case, then the consumer would have the option to use or discard the protector. UPDATE- I would like to acknowledge some of the resourceful ways of removing the screen protector from this device as pointed out in the comments for this review. However I feel it is important to remember this may void the warranty on the case and more importantly it should not be the responsibility of the end user to modify a premium product that should be consumer ready out of the box. Modding is usually something performed on less expensive products in order to mimic the function of more expensive products, not the other way around.
