iPad case by Otterbox

This case is really nice, and otterbox is a great company. I am sad about that apple cutout in the center though.
As my sex ed teacher always told me: "the best protection is the protection you use".
I wouldn't wait.

No kidding. Why do so many companies feel the need for that cutout. When I went case shopping, that hole eliminated 50% of the cases from consideration. That is why I ended up with a hard candy tup case.
I do really like the looks of the defender, and I hope otter box does some research and gets rid of the hole.
Email them and suggest it.

Not it's not - the antenna is in the dock connector, according to the ifixit teardown. Why would you confirm someone correct when you have no real idea yourself?
this is a really great case, the defender that is, i would get one if not for the damm hole.
I wrote them and asked them if it was not too late to reconsider this aspect of their design.

The "Wi-Fi Card" is integrated into the doc connector, not the antenna.

I stand corrected (and by my own mis-quoted source -ouch) with egg on my face. Hoisted by my own pittard...
thanks for the correction of my incorrect criticism, my apologizes to the poster I quoted.
I never got a response. I guess I am just going to have to try to find something else. I just dont really see any cases that look that great.
I dont want a folio case, something that is just around it and is kinda bounce protectant, that isnt hard plastic and scratches easily

I ordered my Commuter! Can't wait. The Defender is a bit much for me I don't need quite that much protection on it.
The Defender will certainly make your iPad less sexy but it makes your iPad secure like a Panasonic toughbook
