    Horrible Fit!
    4 Stars
    Horrible Fit!
    This is my 2nd Otterbox, the first was for my iPad2 and it was one of my best purchases ever.This one is a different story! It never quite fit right. The rubber outer case was always a loose fit. As others have mentioned, accessing the power switch was always an act of frustration, to the point it was easier to slide it off when ever I needed to access it. And it's not like you don't need much access to it for oh I don't know things like, soft reboot, screen capture, or even just to power down my iPad to speed up charging. The fit was so bad that it was a struggle to snap the hard cover on it to protect the screen when not using. It got so bad the rubber case tore in the corner by the power switch. And now I'm having issues with using the my touch screen due to the air gap. I should have returned it the same day I got it. I have the new Kindle Fire on preorder, but will have to find a case for it.It's a real shame because my last experience with Otterbox was Great! When my cat got to my original one for my iPad2 and clawed the screen protector I was furious. Since that was the only problem, I took it in to have a secondary screen protector installed, the guy was impressed with the overall condition of my iPad. He asked me if it was always in the Otterbox, "From Day1 I said." But today I would recommend that you buy anything but an Otterbox!In the photos I added talcum powder, while the rubber case was in place, to make it easier to see the gap. And some people might say well just push it in, which is fine for the first minute. But pick up the iPad and start using it and the rubber cover just pops loose again.UPDATEAfter getting an email from Otterbox it was determined I bought the wrong case. They shipped me the correct case at no cost!
