The Dark Side of Otterbox They Don’t Want You to Know

Posted by deeryjennifer in Uncategorized on April 2, 2019

Update: I finally did upgrade my ipad Mini – and I do love the Apple Pencil even more than I thought I would! Good news was that because my device was in such good condition I got top dollar for it when I sold it! The buyer actually asked me if the iPad was ever used – and I showed them the case and threw it in for free. Buyer was thrilled.

*If Otterbox made a case for humans, I would buy it. If you have a portable electronic device that is not in an Otterbox or Lifeproof case….change this immediately!

Previous News about Otterbox:

My new case from Otterbox arrived today. This is the third case I have gone through for my iPad Mini 3. Because of this Defender case, my little iPad has survived: being dropped down tile stairs (twice), cement stairs(many times), falling off of a balcony ledge, and slipping out of my hand/off the table on an almost monthly basis since October 2014 when it was released.The integrated screen protector has kept the screen in pristine condition. All of this means that I am a huge proponent of Otterbox cases. (my phone is in an Otterbox Pursuit case – hooray for the lanyard!) You get this amazing level of protection & security with a guarantee that if you ever do manage to damage the case, you can get a new one by simply calling the customer service line and paying for shipping! This is a great thing.

But, there is a dark side to putting your device into such an effective case. When a new model comes out you do not have the rationale of “well, my device is kind of banged up so I really should upgrade” to justify purchasing the latest iteration. I really, really, really would like to get the newest model of iPad Mini (hello Apple Pencil!!) However, I just can’t convince myself to upgrade when my current iPad is just fine. Better than fine in fact, all thanks to the Otterbox case. Thanks Otterbox. Thanks a lot.

Old case is removed and the new case is on!Off with the old case, on with the new!
