Pain in the profanity
Used to come with the case now you have to order it separately. Its free but stupid it comes separately if you want it.

no complaints
Built tough. My son likes to use my phone. so, the clip that turns into a stand works perfect for him. Easy to put phone in and remove.

17 Pro Max Holster
I always put my phone in Defender Case and always keep it in a holster. My phone is with me 24/7 and on my hip. It’s stays locked in place and never falls out.

Bad design
Worst otterbox yet. Everytime I grab my phone it clicks open the camera because the button is way too sensitive. I didn’t really like the last design either but I got used to it. This one is very annoying.

Nice gift
The only drawback is that all the apps on my new iPhone 17 pro mac do not rotate so that using the Otterbox doesn’t work in landscape mode for those apps.

Over built.
This defender case is like armor plating for your phone this is the second time I’ve purchased it for my last two iPhones . Don’t leave home without one.

Very good phone protection but with one issue.
The multi-layer case provides excellent impact protection. The one flaw is that the Camera Button extension protrudes so much that the button is too likely to be activated accidentally.

Works great
I have been an Otter box fan for years. Had them for my Android and now upgraded to IPhone . Reasonably priced, love the warranty and this Otter box now protects my new phone.
