Wow that's about the cost of a 3 year squaretrade warranty with accidental coverage ($125 with a 35% off coupon code floating around).
My recommendation - go for the i-Blason
Hi
It looks amazing but if you are looking for something less expensive, I would recommend the "i-Blason Armored Dual Layer Hybrid Full-body Protective Cover with Kickstand and Impact Resistant Bumpers".
(search on Amazon)
amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00IT3UBX6
That's what I got and it was a great choice!
It's an high quality product and gives you the same protection that you are looking for...

The Otterbox is $120.00. The i-Blason is $49.95 and it looks very close to the Otterbox. This One is $14.95 and is the exact same thing as the i-Blason. I've ordered one - I'll let you know how good it is when I get it.

Just don't expect the same specs in terms of impact resistance as an Otterbox when buying a cheaper variant.
I'm debating getting the Otterbox. My past experiences with their products are excellent, and this thing feels quite fragile. It does look massive, though...

I have the iblason one. It was well worth the investment.
I'm sure the otterbox may be a bit better, but I'd rather have the iblason+square trade warranty for about the same price of just the otterbox.
I had one of those for my 10.1. Wasn't worth the 15 bucks.

Just got the $15 I-Blason version. Overall the case is very similar to my otterbox's with one exception.
The I-Blason doesn't come with the built-in screen protector like otterbox's do. I like the otterbox's screen protector because it doesn't actually adhere to the screen. Oh well it was worth the try.

Is about the same as the I-blason. It has good reviews too and is also cheaper.

To each his own. I prefer to prevent damage before it happens.
Oh don't get me wrong, just because I have a squaretrade warranty doesn't mean my tablet is unprotected. I'm on my second note pro, the first was crushed in a hundred pieces (don't ask). Day 1 of the second note pro consisted of taking it out of the box, installing a tempered glass screen protector and slipping it into a folio case (belkin) before registering it with squaretrade. If I'm stupid enough to make the same mistake twice i'll do my best to scoop up the pieces and file a claim lol.
I'm not against the otterbox, I think their cases are fantastic and I wouldn't mind having one. Certainly the way to go when you need something rugged, but $120 is kind of pricey. I hope they bring the price down to below $100 on that thing before it ships. Hard to believe that it should cost that much.
Just ordered the Note 12.2 defender case from otterbox. I'll post a short review in a couple of days after receiving the case.
I just got the gumdrop hideaway case from amazon.Its just like the otterbox case with screen protector. And u can even use it without the screen. Protector if u don't like it plus has a stand built right in.I have had otterbox and like them but 120 is nuts.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IVEHYRE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.Its 69.00 now but I got it when it was 42.00.Its great a little heavy with the bulk but not bad.
Did you get the case yet? If so could you upload a few pics of it installed and what you think of it.
Thanks!!!
Developers don't need no stinkin' signature!
If I've been able to help you, please hit the "Thanks" button.
FedEx delivery of the case is for this Monday, before 4:30pm EST. Rest assured, there will be plenty of pics to go along with my review.
Just got the Otterbox Defender case for my Note Pro 12.2, with a bonus dry box case. For $119.95 i expected an extremely impact resistant case. Needless to say, Otterbox did a masterful job.
The case is made up of 4 pieces. 3 high impact plastic parts and 1 very thick and heavy rubber sleeve. Once fully assembled, your note 12.2 is transformed into a most impressive road warrior.
Snapping the first 2 parts that compose the inner is case easy, just line up the ports and press down firmly until all the locking tabs engage. The screen protector rests about 1-2 millimeters above the screen, makes swipe gestures and screen taps easily, with no trampoline effect.
After that, grab that thick rubber sleeve and wrap it around your Note Pro, until all the ports are sealed up nice and tight.
Then place it securely in the outer case/stand and your done.

Hey there! Thank you for the review and pics!
I noticed on the otterbox page it lists this case being for the note pro 12.2 and the tab pro 12.2
I'm trying to figure out how it can work for both tablets when only 1 has spen.
My question is... can you access the spen from the case? It looks like it is accessible from the rubber part of the case but that the final piece snapped on covers it?
And, what the heck? People who buy it for a tab 2 just have an extra hole with no purpose but it's ok because the last piece covers it anyway?
I can't quite tell from the pics and info is very scarce on these! Best buy has it listed on their page but sold out online for $109 however it only lists it as being for the tab pro 12.2.
Strange indeed.

Once you place the note in the outer case/stand, you can NOT access the s-pen. I would assume otterbox would omit the spen access port on the tab pro but i cant say for sure. In the second part of this review, i will go over some more features and specs. For instance, there are several useful positions you can use. The manual shows most of them.
Be aware that once fully assembled the defender case effectively triples the overall weight to over 1500g or 3.2 pounds. Its heavy but feels supremely secure.
Here are the most useful landscape positions. Perfect for lap use, Extremely stable. The are 2 portrait positions as well. The wedge effect otterbox uses to secure your note in the stand is very effective. I never felt as if the entire setup would tip over and fall. And if it falls, so what. The complete package feels like it could survive a fall down a mountain lol.
The hinge otterbox uses is very sturdy plastic and folds flat when not in use, allowing you to place your note pro in the case, face up or down. And yes the defender case increases the thickness to about 1 1/4 inches.
