Defender case for iPhone
My employer first provided me with a Defender case to protect the iPhone 5S they issued to me.
That was followed up with a Defender case for each issued company iPhone (6S, XR & 13).

Great phone projector and holder
Great holder for protection and comfort. It protects the phone without being too bulky. Easy to get on and off the belt and adjustable for different positions.

Clunky as expected
It's okay. For a free holster it's what I'd expect: bulky, clunky, just like the case.I never use it. Do I like it? No. But it is technically acceptable.

Otter Box for IPhone 17.
Otter Box for IPhone 17 is very good. Wish the holster would lock in a little tighter.

PRICE GOUGED
It’s a good product, but it should have come with the case like it used to. Price gouging at its finest!

IPhone 17 Otterbox case and holster
The otterbox case is strong and sturdy. If I drop the phone the case should keep it protected. The holster is also sturdy and the iphone fits into it nicely. I am happy with both of them.

Nothing but the best
A very tough and protective phone case and the workmen guarantee cannot be beaten. The only case I put on my iPhone 17 is a OtterBox.
