Easy for geriatrics to use!!!
It was very easy to go online -select the cover I needed--and then it shows up a few days later at my home

Happy with product
Really good quality, not too bulky. Slight issue with case is that it wiggles a bit around the on/off button on the side. Sort of an OCD thing, but I don’t like components to move when they’re not supposed to.

OtterBox i13 pro max
I love my OtterBox. I am constantly dropping my phone on pavement and tile floors, etc. and my OtterBox has saved my phone. Not a scratch on it!

Well…
Well…I mean it does work sometimes, but I dropped my phone from close to the ground (I estimate 1.5-2 feet) and it landed flat on its back and the entire back glass shattered.

Hello! We’re very sorry to hear about your damaged device. Our cases are very protective, but some variables can’t be predicted. We’re happy to send a new OtterBox product under our product warranty, but we are unable to extend our warranty to the device itself, as we are not the manufacturer. Please give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions or if you’d like a new case.

Solid Phone Case
Fourth case for my family’s iPhones I have purchased from Otterbox. Good cases for daily use and the young and old. Has kept my phone protected since I’ve been using them.
Wife likes that she can get the case she likes in the color she likes purple. Recommend the defender case to all.

We're sorry to hear about your Defender Series case color problems. If your purchase is within our return time-frame, we would be happy to help get that ball rolling. Just give us a ring at 1-855-688-7269 and we would love to help.
Was there anything else wrong with the case, other than the color, that caused us to lose those other 4 stars? If so, we would love to hear your feedback. Just call the number above and we would love to chat!

Saggy rubber
I’ve long believed that OtterBox phone covers offered the best protection but I’ve been disappointed. I finally decided to replace my previous Defender after a year of use because the rubber outer got too so loose and saggy, I was afraid it wouldn’t protect my phone anymore. After just a month, it looks like the replacement is going to have the same problem. They’re kin...

Doesn’t work with wireless charging.
I purchased an iPhone 13 Pro and defender case to replace an XS which had the Defender case as well. I have a charging tower to charge my phone and Apple Watch. Worked on my XS but not my 13. Bummer!!!

Response from Staples :
Unfortunately, the difference in wireless charging performance while using the same platform is likely more to do with the internal configuration of the two devices. The Defender Series case hasn't really changed in terms of materials, but the iPhone 13 Pro was designed to highlight Apple's MagSafe accessory ecosystem, so the charging coils will be aligned differently than those of your iPhone Xs.
Not sure what charger you're currently going with, but our OtterSpot works just fine with this particular case/device combo. You can take a closer look through the link below, and feel free to give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 if we can be of further assistance, and we'll always be happy to talk shop!

Most durable phone case
I just went to the state fair. I rode an upside down roller coaster and my phone slipped out of my pocket while upside down and at the highest point of the ride. I was ecstatic to find that my phone had no damage. Not even a scratch. I do not even have a screen protector on it and it is still in perfect condition. I couldn’t believe it.

Hate the Redesign
I have an Otterbox Defender on my iPhone 11 which I love, so I bought another one for my new iPhone 13. The new design only has the raised edges around the screen on the top and the bottom, instead of going all the way around like before. The protection is not as good. If I would have had this design on my old phone my screen would have been shattered. Definitely not ...

Response from Staples :
We appreciate the candid feedback and are sorry that you're feeling so discouraged with the design of the Defender Series Case for the iPhone 13 Pro. We genuinely only ever make such changes if we feel confident that they'll enhance the overall protection, performance or both, and we're disappointed that your impression is quite the opposite.
Perhaps a different model of case paired with one of our screen protectors would better suits your needs and taste this time around. Please feel welcome to take a look at all of our options for your iPhone 13 Pro via the link below, and give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions and we'll be glad to help!

Best thing I have bought in years. The real tree design makes my otter box stand out amongst others. I love it.

Slim and protective!
Case like always has great quality, very durable and slim look. Only issue I’ve had with this case is, since upgrading to the pro, when I jump or do a quick move, phone pops out of the clip. Thats a big disappointment. Didn’t have that issue with the 12 mini case.

Hunter Orange Case Needed
I much preferred the case I had before for my iphone 6. It was of the Real Tree design with an orange case. It also had a screen protector built into it. I bought a new case for my Iphone 13 Pro , also of the Real Tree design, but found out the case is black in color and there is no screen protector. Both are big detractors in my book. For one the orange case made ...

Response from Staples :
We appreciate the candid feedback and are sorry to hear you're not quite as fond of your most recent Defender Series Case for the iPhone 13 Pro as the one you had for your iPhone 6.
It's unlikely that we'll return to an integrated screen protector, as we do feel the use of a glass piece with the case provides the best balance between performance and protection; however, we'll definitely share your thoughts with our quality and design teams in hopes that you'll see that orange inner shell you prefer at some point down the road.
