I just looked on Amazon and they have the black denim one still there for $$12.95, eligible for free shipping, but also have the blue denim ones now listed at $5.64 with $4.49 shipping. I've had both of these. They are almost identical and each young grandchild has one, and they protect the iPad well and are easy for the kids to deal with, so they never try to take them out of the cover. I have one in pink, blue and black denim.

Yes it has silicone parts, although thicker than most. For him I would probably recommend the black Jean iPad mini case. It has no silicone parts and holds up very well. I've bought 3 for different grandchildren and most recently bought one on Amazon for around $12.

My son has autism too and it part hamster/part toddler. It's thick silicone and it's been over a year and still good and squishy like the first day I bought it.

it si not so thin that he could swallow it he will have to chew on it quite a bit before he could actually swallow the silicon approximately 1/2 an inch!

The rubber/silicone part is set in the channel around the phone. To easily remove this, open the USB and headphone doors then slowly pull the silicone out of the channel starting at the top and working your way around the phone. For the plastic part, start at the top or bottom and use your finger nail (thumb nail works best) to release the tab. The go to the next 2 on the side and release them. Continue to the next set and work your way down the phone. This otterbox is better designed than the one for my Samsung Infuse. It went together like it did new out of box. Just be patient and don't force anything. The rubber/silicone part is set in the channel around the phone.

I believe you can buy it. Search for "Replacement Silicone Skin for Otterbox". You may be able to find several options. Hope it helps.

I don't think it is rubbery silicone, it is more like cheap plastic, very thin. I returned mine, only worked for a couple weeks- You get what you pay for, I would advise paying more and getting a quality one. I got a Belkin and love it.

I've only had the otterbox for about two months and I always use it with the hard shell, but so far, the silicone has not gotten baggy or loose. It still fits snuggly.

i have a 1 year old and it, has a small lip on the front, the rubber is really soft and not slippery, my phone is dropped all of the time etc, but it is open!

The OtterBox does not protect the microphone, speaker, nor camera lens. I work construction and deal with dust and mud, it is necessary to rinse off these items and dry them off with a soft cloth.

Yes. Mine wasn't a great one and the tab left residue, but Amazon issued a refund so I could order a different one that worked great. Great case and OtterBox gives a donation to breast cancer research for the purchase.

This was for my son and this is his reply; The sides are reinforced with a harder plastic on the outside edges, however the top and bottom are purely silicone. You do need to know how to put it on correctly and I would caution that the texture film of the hard case is quite prone to peeling at the edges.

You can try to get a thinner case, that should do the trick. Maybe try a thinner belkin candy shell case, or belkin rubber case. Unfortunately the otter box cases are pretty thick so you may just need another case.

It is not silicone. Its made of a hard, but flexible plastic. It does not cover the front of the phone.

I have the iPhone 4s and bought an actual otterbox. Like the case very much, but I absolutely have air bubbles under the screen protector. To Ryan: The otterbox hard case (inside the silicone) has a built in screen protector.

No, it's only silicone and there's no hard shell to completely protect it from a fall. The purpose would be to lessen the impact. I've done a ton of research and could not find anything comparable to an Otterbox type of case for a toddler.

Mine said otter box all over everything and is the best thing ever. Dropped my phone a few times and still perfect. I would recommend

Not at all .. The sides are thick and it protects the front , so your touching the actual face ... My son i bought this for has some disabilities , and he's able to use it fine . I also have an otter case for my iPhone , and I love it ... Worth the money , once you've spent $100 for a replacement at apple for a cracked face , trust me the $30-40 is well worth it no doubt ...

I have an older otterbox. The one I have is a thick rubberized otterbox skin and it fits underneath just fine.

It feels like silicone. This is the details on package. "Soft-bite coating is FDA and CPSIA compliant. No mention of the exact material it is made of for mouth part.
