A couple months ago I did a three part series on my favorite line of rugged cases, the Defender from OtterBox (linked below this video). Even though I showed in detail pretty every feature of the case, and how to install one, I missed one crucial aspect in all three reviews.
How do you take the darn thing off? Good thing my Youtube viewers call me out on stuff…

Awesome, thank you!! That Otterbox on my iPad is my nemesis, so thank you for the great tips!
You’re more than welcome! Hope it helps 🙂
Thank you. I had to watch the last part several times to see where to apply pressure. I was able to slip a store card into the crack and then apply thumb pressure. Very helpful to know to slip out the iPad once the bottom tabs are open.
It’s been my trick for a while now. Glad it helped!
i spilled water on my iPad and it is trapped beneath the clear cover. Do i need to remove the Otterbox to dry it out,or will it gradually dry out – like my watches used to when they got wet! Thanks.
Oh yeah Barbara I would get that case off. It’ll take a LOT longer for the water to evaporate, and it’ll increase the likelihood that water will damage your ipad. Best of luck!
I’ve been looking everywhere to find a way to take this off and I still can’t get it off. I can seem to get the side clips un clipped but I can only do it on one side and then when I try to get the corner clips off they won’t budge. I almost chipped a tooth trying to get this case off! This video is really helpful but I still can’t get it off.
Use a card like a library for the small cracks. And use your thumb to push the corners
Ugh me to^
Got the whole thing off son. Get rest.
Juan, you are the fkg man! And your intro, I haven’t laughed that hard since my wife… never mind. Thanks, bud.
I have the old otter box for my mini ipad. 4 clips I can’t work to open. Please show a video as well as all the other openings of otter box. HELP.
