I am happy with the otter box for my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4, however I do have two areas that I am unhappy about. I had my tablet for 5 months b4 an otter box was made available, this is poor planning. Also, I do not like the area for charging, the tab you have to pull up to plug in charger is heavy and weighs on the charger (sometimes) pulling it out. This is a sensitive area (on the tablet) and that weight can cause problems in the tablet charging area.
I will use no other. Highest recommendation. In this case, you do get what you pay for -- a case that lasts and a company that backs it. We actually do keep our phones and tablets for a while and don't buy "the latest" every six months... we always buy an Otterbox. Its a good investment.
My main problem with my Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 was in always felt like I was on the verge of dropping it. It's nice to have something so thin but the case is slippery. I ordered my otterbox to protect my tablet. The otterbox has a surface that allows me to grip easily without much pressure. Now that my tab is protected, there is very little chance of dropping it.
Seems like Samsung should have considered changing the suface of their prducts (including phones and other tablets) to avoid slips and drops. Minimizing drop related customer damage by producing a rougher surface would have provided more value to customers.
I also like the case stand as it allows for a more comfortable, hands free, viewing angle. I didn't notice any difference in the screen cover changing the original color vibrancy as I had been warned about. I'm happy with it - worth the cost.
I purchased an Otterbox Defender Series Case for my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 and have been happy with it. Fearing an accident, I did not take my tablet from the my house until my Defender Case arrived. I was very happy with the price and the free shipping was appreciated. The case is rugged and the screen protector works well. The only drawback to the case is that it does not have openings for the insertion of memory cards. The owner has to take the case completely off to withdraw the memory cards. Overall an outstanding product.
This case is an absolute necessity when purchasing a tablet for a seven year old. The case is durable, fits perfectly (like a glove). The case removes some of the worry of leaving it unattended with children. The plastic face cover allows you to maneuver through the phone with ease. Drops are no longer my #1 concern!
I have only tried one other brand of protective case for a Samsung tab I purchased, biggest mistake I ever made. No one, and I say again, NO ONE compares to the Otter Box Defender Series Case. I have them for my cell phones, and tabs. Will only by the Defender Series Case to protect my future purchases.
You need to have better instructions on how to take it apart the 1st time to put the tablet in. There were no arrows like the instructions said. I scratched the screen saver trying to get it opened.
