Re: [iPad] Otterbox Defender vs. Griffin Survivor

 

Thanks for your personal review. I don't plan on trying to see how many "accidents" my iPad can survive, but that sounds like a great level of protection.

Both my husband and I use the Otterbox Defender on our iPad Airs.

Oddly, it was the features we most liked about the Air which made us choose the Defender -- the Air's thinness and light weight also made us believe there may be a more inherent structural fragility than previous iPad models. But the Defender pushes it to the other extreme -- suddenly the Air seems heavy and bulky. Plus, the instructions on how to disassemble the Defender, as Otterbox packages them assembled, in order to put the iPad in the case are both difficult to read (size, color and font of print) and confusing.

That being said, it does provide great protection for the Air. Mine fell from the kitchen counter onto a tile floor, and all that happened was the cover popped off.

Oh, the "stand" to which you refer is actually the hard plastic detachable screen cover. When the cover is removed, there's a hinged plastic construct on the inside of the cover. Pulling that construct up into an unhinged position serves as the support against which the iPad leans, while the raised "corner guards" of the case cover act as a "notch" against which the iPad rests.

To me, both of the cases look really nice. The latest Otterbox Defender iPad Air case has a cover/stand, but I don't know what you do with it when you want to take picture. (Put it under your arm?)

I know there are plenty of "versus" articles on the two, but most don't help much. I think one just said they liked both equally. lol

Re: [iPad] Otterbox Defender vs. Griffin Survivor

 

Griffin survivor is the one I had to get for 5c could not find anything else and in December OtterBox said they wolud not make a 5c one anytime soon.

Its better thant nothing but I really dislike many aspects of it. The Rubber and buttons are bulky and clunky. They covered the silencer orange button which protects it but makes it hard to see. The camera is covered and must be unplugged to use, which is not what I prefer. The inside of the plexiglass/plastic screen shield gets dirty not sure how that happens but have to take it of and clean it off constantly.


The Otterbox I got for my daughter's iPad mini is so elegant and practical, I just feel for sure Otterbox would make a better phone case than Griffin Survivor.

Re: [iPad] How email has changed with smart devices

 

I use the built in iOS mail app.  It accesses Gmail for me.  Nothing could be more simple.

Re: [iPad] How email has changed with smart devices

 

That takes me back. Clean looking. Outlook Express was similar, a less featured version of Outlook. Not too busy
I gave up cliebts years ago, 2007, when my Telco moved our customers to Yahoo. The Yahoo webmail site is clean, unlike the klunky other sites like gmail or hotmail which I hated. No doubt they are better now though, I should check them out

I use to use Eudora when I had a PC. That was pre-2006. Eudora was an excellent mail app.

Re: [iPad] How email has changed with smart devices

 

I use Apple Mail too, Pat. It doesn't seem to work so well with Gmail and automatically moving email into different folders. I've had no problems other than that. I've used Apple mail since 2006 with yahoo, Comcast, Gmail and hotmail.
