I need a replacement.
I’ve used Otterbox covers for many, many years. I won’t trust any other product to protect my phones. However, I’ve had this Otterbox cover for just over one month. The pins that keep the cover locked onto the phone case have broken off. The cover won’t stay attached and I’ll need to get a replacement.

I liked my old one better. This model is harder to clip my phone into.

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.

Longevity
I have used the Defender Series case and holster for all my iPhones and it has saved many a potential accident. With the holster it has saved me from losing my phone. I always tap the side to verify I have my phone. The Defender Case is the best and gives me a place to put my phone so I don't lose it or crush it if it were in my pocket.

Great product
Very well made. This is my third Otterbox and they have protected my phones many times from being severely damaged. It’s the first thing I do when I buy a new phone, a new Otterbox!

Outstanding belt clip for the defender
The clip that goes with the OtterBox defender is a great compliment to the case itself. The clip is tough convenient and keeps the phone on my belt, not fumbling around in my pockets. The best thing about the clip is if it ever breaks out a box will send you a new one. Great product.
