Heard great things now very disappointed
Despite installation of defender pro and screen protector my screen cracked within two weeks - without even dropping it. Just in my coat pocket. My only explanation is that it must have been hit at a weird angle by my door key in my pocket or something like that. The crack is next to the ring on/off button on the phone. But really I thought this would provide more prote...

We’re sorry to hear about your damaged device. Our cases are very protective, but some variables can’t be predicted. We’re happy to send a new OtterBox product under our product warranty, but we are unable to extend our warranty to the device itself, as we are not the manufacturer. Please reach out to us via chat with any questions or if you would like a new case.

Must have
I will continue to purchase OTTERBox to protect my iphones. This is my first time with the Defender and it is exactly as described. Love the grip and protection without being bulky.

Good but…
The case is good much lighter than the original defender. The MagSafe magnet isn’t as strong as I expected it to be.

Buyers remorse
Don’t buy the Defender XT series. The back of the case is very slick resulting in easy drops.

My 4th iPhone, my 4th OtterBox
I received my first iPhone in 2007, nineteen years ago. I have had an OtterBox Defender on each of my four iPhones since. I cannot count the times that I have dropped my phone without a scratch. There are copycats, but there is none better than OtterBox.

This however being only 2 piece construction disappointed me. I've always enjoyed the rubber backing on the defenders but this has a slippery plastic back on it. also, I ordered the camo...

Good case
Otterbox case fits secure and protects the phone well. My phone has fallen multiple times and has taken no damage. The smooth clear case scratches easily and is a fingerprint magnet.
