OtterBox is the ONLY way to go for protection to your phone. Love the Defender series. I may look old school wearing my phone on my hip, but the phone isn't susceptible to falling out of my pocket!

This is a really nice case I've always used OtterBox for my previous phone so when I receive a new phone I know I have to put it in a OtterBox case for protection, I would definitely recommend this case

Hardy case. Easy installation and tight fit. Well worth immediate protection. Thanks BB.

I bought this case because I wanted the maximum protection for my phone and decided to return the Commuter OtterBox that I had purchased. My main criticism is that the schematic installation directions provided were worthless and I don't think I would have figured out how to do it without YouTube videos. It would be so easy for OtterBox to tell you that what looks like a single piece case when you unbox it is actually the fully assembled case that has three parts to it and that it has to be completely disassembled in order to install it. Even with help of the videos, it took me about an hour to install it. I hope that the extra work is worth it. While drop demonstrations on YouTube were impressive, I don't want to purposely drop it to see how well it works. The only thing covered by the OtterBox warranty is damage to the case. It would also be helpful if BestBut would include two thickness numbers for this case. I didn't purchase it initially because the thickness given, 1.33 inches, would have been way too bulky for my pocket. The 1.33" includes the thickness of the belt holster, which is optional to use or not. The thickness of the case itself is about the same as for the Commuter model. If you are planning to install a camera or screen protector, be sure to do so before you install the Defender to save yourself the work of removing the case.

This is a good case. It's not exactly a thing of beauty, but for protecting your phone, I don't know how you could get anything better. I carry my phone in my back pocket and this case "grips" the material just enough it will not come out unexpectedly, much better than some slick cases I have had that can slide out. One downside, because the case is fairly bulky it doesn't fit all the cubby holes on my car console the way I would like. I've managed to find some workarounds, but this case has big, round, rubberized corners. All of that said, I would buy another one just like it.
