This case is so very protective. I've dropped the phone a number of times and it has protected it well. The rubber outer layer is easy to hold, which is important for such a large phone (Samsung S23 Ultra). However, I have one complaint: I am now on my second Defender case for this phone and I have to replace it AGAIN. The reason is the case has a rigid plastic frame which goes around the phone and then the rubber goes around that rigid plastic frame. I like the dual layer protection, but the frame has proven to be somewhat brittle when dropped- I have now broken the plastic frame twice. So, I'm not sure if I'm going to give the Defender a third try. Maybe it is more durable on a different model phone.

Otterbox has always been "top of the line" when it comes to device protection. Pros: Phone feels safe. Warranty is great!! Feels sturdy while in use. Cons: Price is higher than most all cases Right side of phone is exposed due to weakness and inconsistent clips/fasteners on that side causing the case to flex off the phone with little pressure applied. Not many color options.

Overall this case is very good. It is bulky obviously its Otter box but phone itself little big so I don't mind if its bulky. Easy to install and remove. Already dropped twice and so far good no damage. I explored few more cases and did comparison study some will not have enough raise from Camera, some wont have enough raise above display. This one satisfies both. If it does not bite your wallet go for it else commuter series should be ok with good protection ( Reduced 1 layer protection).

Amazing phone! Great pictures and video even in low light. Fast processing, easy to use. The only downside for me is the lack of a pre-installed screen protector, like my S20+ had, which ended up costing me $200 when i had to replace the phone do to a cracked screen. Swapping data from the old phone to this one using Smart Switch was a breeze.
