what's up guys it's Lou from unbox therapy and today we're taking a look at an iPad 2 case a tough a rugged case from a company called OtterBox this is the reflex series and if you don't know who OtterBox is they've been making incredibly rugged tough cases for electronics devices for a long long time and the iPad 2 is no exception this particular case feels tough straight out of the box it's got a protective covering on the front that's that clear portion I just showed you but what's special about it is that it can come off and act as a multifunction stand for both media consumption and also for productivity when your iPad 2 is laying down on a table for example now the main components of the case are these two panels here in my hands and it's got a soft felt like interior so you know it's not gonna scratch up your iPad 2 now the fit is really snug so you're going to want to take note if you've got some styles of screen protectors or a jealous skin or something on your iPad that's probably not gonna fly but once these two panels are slid together you get a sense right away for how rugged and stable this whole package is gonna be now something to note the back of the device is black so you're going to get a little bit of fingerprint action on there in a bright environment my environment is super bright that I shoot in so it probably won't be so bad as it showed up on camera here now the special part is this stand that can also be carried around as a protective aspect of the case it's gonna allow for you to you know line up your iPad either in landscape mode for media consumption portrait mode for me to consumption or there's also this sort of productivity mode which gives it a decent angle for both typing or for use when you're standing up for example so here's a better look for some still images here of what it looks like in those different orientations and as I mentioned before incredibly convenient and the nice thing is you don't have to remember to bring something separate it's already part of the protective case so you're probably gonna have it with you now you can choose to either install this stand on the front side of your iPad for you know extended trips where they're going to put this thing into another bag and you want to protect the screen for example that's probably the way you're gonna use it most often but it will also fit on the back which is kind of cool now when the whole package is together it's an incredibly solid I mean it feels like a tank I'm not gonna lie it feels like you could drop it I don't throw it around in this video if you guys want me to throw it around I'll do it just let me know but as I mentioned before you can also wear it on the back of the iPad - and that's kind of cool because you might want to be using the iPad while toting around the stand in case you know you come into a scenario where you could use it so having the option of wearing it on the front or back is kind of nice now you've got nice cutouts for all of your different ports and buttons here whether it be your headphone jack your microphone you've got your power button as well as your little hold slash orientation switch your volume rocker is easily accessible and you've got a nice large cutout for your dock connector and of course the camera - as I mentioned earlier in the video now the whole thing slides apart real easy so if you do have to dock the iPad you can just pull the bottom portion off instead of the whole thing and as I mentioned earlier the whole thing feels super rugged when you've got it all set up as I said before OtterBox is known for robust cases that you can bang around in fact on the back of the case they say there are air pockets in each corner so the corners are actually the toughest parts and those are the parts that are most likely to hit the ground when you drop your device so it should be pretty rugged as I said I haven't fully tested it yet but it'll be cool to throw it around and see exactly how it survives anyway guys if you enjoyed this content hopefully you can like and favorite this video as it does help me out a bunch and if you haven't checked out the new website yet please go ahead and do so we're trying to get a some activity going on over there we got some forums for people to talk and some other cool features its unbox therapy comm if you haven't visited it yet and I'll also put a link down in the description anyway guys as always want to thank you for watching and I'll see you around the channel okay later
