It's adequate. It's an integrated screen protector so you don't run into the typical issues with screen protectors.
Doesn't really bother me. If anything, I'll rip out the protector to get better touch fidelity. As it is now, my inputs are not registering as well as I would like which is typical for these kinds of screen protectors.

kind of ugly imo, but if you are looking for protection i think it certainly fits the bill. I just can't have a device with such a bulky case, I don't like it. I would rather use a skinomi skin wrap, and buy apple care in case it ever does break. Really not anymore expensive to do it that way, and I get to use the device as intended, rather than a huge bulky case.
Also, nothing worse than that built in screen protector like on the Lifeproof cases. Is this similar to that? I don't like how there are always air bubbles, areas where it is stuck to the screen and areas where it's not. Just not a fan of those, would rather put on a real screen protector which you can't tell is there, doesn't mess with the touch, etc.
Just my .02
Is this completely waterproof as well?

Yes it has an integrated screen protector but I ended up removing it. Waiting for Power Support to release an iPad Air screen protector.
I meant the hard plastic cover that snaps off and becomes a stand with the otterbox. This case doesn't have that right? I guess I'm trying to see if it would be enough to just have this case on and put it in my backpack. What do you guys think?
How did you carry it around? Just want to make sure I don't kill it in my backpack with all my binders and books
I just picked one of these up at Best Buy. I didn't want to get something this bulky but I don't want to take my Ipad out of the house with just a Smartcover. Also I am afraid my kids would kill it.
I justified it to myself by saying that it's so much smaller than the Ipad 2-4 version. $80 is way overpriced but is the early adopter penalty.
I can always return it later if I am not happy.

Finally went on sale locally. I'll live with it a few days, but am not in love with it out of the box.
Question for those who have cut out the screen protector, was the procedure as easy as it looks to be, especially with a sharp blade? Any regrets at doing this?

I highly recommend this case if you have young children. It has paid for itself many times over. My kids' poor iPad has survived my son dropping it into a bathtub full of water; and a severe case of motion sickness in the car with my daughter. That's above and beyond the usual everyday dropping, throwing, and general abuse only toddlers can inflict.
