Same Isdued
U fortunately flaws with the defender series. I have the iPhone 14 Pro Max and the third generation. Both the tabs break off where you charge the phone usually in about six months. Most recently both phone cases broke within a matter if weeks.

Fits right and was exactly what I wanted. I had many of the Otter box cases for all my Apple devices.

It works.
I work in construction. This is my third Otterbox, and while they do wear out, they have kept this IPhone 7 SE alive since 2016

Ordered the wrong size
I ordered the wrong size for my phone and sent it right back, so this is not a performance review. I might not have kept it if it had been the right size. It's much thicker than the Otterbox I'm replacing and would be a tight squeeze in my pockets or fanny pack. For those who want a heftier and stronger case, this might be great.

Great phone case
Great protective case for an older phone. This is my second purchasing this product. The prior case lasted about 5 years with no issues.

Unnecessary additions
The case is good except for a couple of things - the clear plastic screen protector was unnecessary as I already had a better quality one on my phone so I removed the one built into the new case (with the help of a YouTube video). Also I find the rubber protectors for the charging hole and the silencing button quite annoying but overall, a good case.

Stands up to abuse with out being to bulky
Been using otter box cases for over 15 years saved my phone from many drops and scrapes. The holster works great also

Replacement Defender case for iPhone 7
Great fit. A little tight at first but seals well.
Good protection for phone (case and screen).
The control buttons (volume and power) are stiff at first and require deliberate activation. They do loosen up a bit over time.

Difficult to execute typing
The cover makes actually typing difficult. No matter how light or firmly l touch the letters, l have to do it over and over and keep watching what l’ve typed bc of it not typing the letter.

Perfect protection!!
This is my fourth otter box purchase for two different phones, the only reason for the second phone is that otter box kept the phone in such pristine condition but couldn’t save it from becoming outdated.

Great protective phone case
This case is just what I needed to protect my phone. I seem to be dropping it less since this case is not slick and is easy to hold on to.

Good Protective Case
Very good case, but don’t care for the “plastic” screen protector! Cut mine out and installed my own screen protector.

Had to use bottons
I have worn out my old Otterbox as the charging port seal finally just broke off.I got a new cover and am not as happy with the buttons on it. I am 80 years old and my wife and have a extreme hard time pressing the power and volume buyyons!
