Convenient & Durable
This is my 3rd OtterBox Case & belt holder purchase. I enjoy the convenience of knowing where my iPhone is and having it immediately accessible at all times. OtterBox equipment is extremely durable; I have used previous cases and holders for over 5 years each.

Not happy with what I received
I wanted a belt clip for my iPhone 17. Evidently they do not make one for this model and the one I purchased which I was told would work did not hold my phone.

Mr.
It does not shield the side phono button on the iPhone 17, and many unwanted photos are the result!

Perfect phone holder
Perfect fit and very ergonomically designed. I've had an OtterBox Defender case and belt clip for every iPhone I've ever owned. Never disappointed!!

Long time user - They're good
I've never broken my phone by dropping it in an Otter the one part I don't like is I can't open the rubber charging port cover without having to remove my phone from the holster.

Nice Addition
Got this as an included gift for the purchase of a protective case. I don't use it constantly, but it's nice to have under certain conditions and I like the feature where it can be used as a stand to prop it up as well.

Costs a little more, but well worth the protectio.
After dropping my IPad years ago and shattering the screen, I purchased an Otterbox. Since then, I have purchased 3 for the various IPhones and two more for the two IPads I have had over the last 10 years+. They have saved me many hundreds of dollars and a lot of grief. I have looked at other phone cases and in my view, no other product provides better protection.

I have used these before and must say that some care in handling is necessary to keep the clip from breaking, but it does help to keep the phone accessible at all times.
