THE BEST PHONE CASES
Excellent case. Great protection and feel of exterior of the case. Not slippery like the cheap cases. Worth every penny

Instructions, Features
Instructions were not precise: I was in tears. Not each and every action is understood by those without smartphone experience. Holster was stupid: I need a velcro closed canvas pocket with belt loop not clips. I want a secure anchor point on the case through which i can run a tether

Solid protection
Case is still good, Just was shocked couldn’t order black case instead ordered blue and not happy with that option but I wanted a real case not some knock off.

Good case but problematic with cordless rechargers
I like the case as it's pretty solid and protects my iPhone 17. The only issue I have with it is that the protective ring around the camera lenses interferes with my car's cordless rechargers. I didn't have this issue with the Otter Commuter with my iPhone 12.

Belt clip
The phone doesn’t stay in the clip securely. I will contact them to try to get it replaced.

Awesome protection, as usual!
This is my fourth iPhone with an Otterbox. I've had all kinds of adventures with my Otterboxed phones--they've been dropped in all kinds of situations with no damage, and once I got kicked by a horse right where my phone was in my front pocket. Seriously, I truly believe my phone in its Otterbox saved my hip from getting broken, and my phone still worked well enough to ...

Not as good as the older model
Ive had the same case with my old phone for a long time and I love it, it has protected my phone every time it fell on on the floor! So I ordered this one for my new iPhone 17, but it’s a lot thinner than my other one and doesn’t feel as safe!
For the price I expected a more substantial case, so I hope that it will still protect my new phone even though it feels very sk...

OtterBox for my iPhone 17
I have always used OtterBox for all my iPhones. This latest one fits the phone like a glove and has already protected my phone as I have dropped it three times. As always, this cover protected my phone from any damage. I love how the cover is designed to prevent the camera lens from getting snagged on anything.

Phone belt clip
Phone comes out of the belt clip too easily. Had otter box clips before that were more resistant to coming out

Expensive- needs more features
Expensive without extra features. Needs a kickstand or finger loop. You can find so many other options these days with many more features that also offer drop protection. Otterbox may be sturdy but needs more offered for the $$$

Not as beefy, no screen protector, firm on phone
Not as strong as the old cases. Should have come with a screen protector. Fits snug and is firm once installed on the phone, should protect well.

No screen protector
My prior I phone was well protected with otter box defender. Thus on my new iPhone I ordered the defender again but realized once I got it it doesn’t included the screen protector. Disappointed.
