OtterBox - Defender Series Modular Case for Apple® iPhone® X and XS - Black

I recently bought an iPhone XS, and really wanted to protect it. A friend of mine has an OtterBox case, and I could see how well it protects the sides, front, and back of the phone. Plus, it comes with a sturdy rotating belt clip, which converts to a stand for watching movies. I have a tremendous amount of faith that this case will protect my phone no matter what happens. Even though my phone is waterproof to 3 meters, the OtterBox case adds even more waterproofing - adding flaps that seal the lightning connector at the bottom, and the side mute switch. If your phone may be going through rough use, protect it with this case and don’t worry about it.

I’ve had an Otterbox symmetry and a griffin survivor. I usually love both but I didn’t like them for the x. The defender is always a go to case for many people. I didn’t want it because it looks bulky in the pictures, however it ended up feeling much slimmer than the survivor case. I wish Otterbox would include a tempered glass protector for free, but everything else is great and I love the case, it’s got a great amount of protection, paired with a tempered glass protector and the iPhone X water resistance. Love it.

Case Is A Little Bulky But Comfortable To Hold, The Defender Model Of OtterBox Typically Has A Screen Protector However For The IPhone X It Is Designed With Out A Screen Protector Although Best Buy’s Description Says A Screen Protector Is Included It’s Not, So While The Sides, Back & Edges Of The Screen Are Well Covered If Dropped on a Jagged Surface Your Screen Is Vulnerable, Overall Solid Case, Oh Loving The Belt Holster!!!

Been using this case for my XS for several months now. The back has been slowly wearing away. Not good. Protects the phone good even though there is no screen protector on it.

This case makes it feel safer to own a phone. No complaints.

We just bought this case 9 days ago and the camo is already showing signs of wear on the edges. So disappointed.

I generally am very careful with my tech devices. Especially now that the going rate is over a grand and somehow everyone thinks that it’s okay. It’s not btw. This case and clip combo that I purchased was awesome. I broke the clip 1 year and 5 months after the purchase date by forgetting it to remove it and snagging it after. Still, it protected my x and continues to do so as I have that original case ((rubber sleeve and 2piece assembly)). Without the clip for several months, it allowed the sleeve to expand/loose some tension form with more tug/pull out off front/back pockets. The plastic protection broke one one of the sides but didn’t shatter. Clean snap/break alllowed it to still be used while I looked for a replacement. Loving what my first use of otter box delivered. Having commuted further than ever in my professional career, this phone saw more action than all my others combined. Had bought a replacement clip and am now going to replace the sleeve/case with warranty I believe. I’m sticking with this model while I keep this phone going until Apple kills it completely with their constant iOS rollouts that are untested and provide no resolution to continuing bugs. Btw, you’re really doing something wrong when your software “updates” are killing or affecting hardware. Wifried wasn’t that long ago? See iOS versions 8, 10 and up for examples, but iOS 13 is the champion that killed the thought of me ever getting another iPhone. I digress. I loved the lifeproof nuud on my 6s+. But that was just aesthetics. It didn’t last long. Bought the defender series for my iPad as well. Con: lightning adapters that are 3rd party will not always fit. Any that oversize like combo lightning/usb micro/c tend to increase the connection point (wires to plate or solder connect to lightning adapter). So keep that in mind if you use a lot of aftermarket data cables, I’d imagine that would also be occurring on the android side; don’t know if they increased the opening for newer models or it’s still a needed design update.

It’s your traditional three piece otter box design you see with their other phone cases that include a hard plastic front and back hard case that is wrapped with a rubber slip resistant skin to hold it all together. Which include a nifty belt clip that also serves as a stand and screen protector. PROs: - solid case that provides protection without adding too much bulk to the phone. - It’s rubber outer layer offers adiquet grip of the phone but doesn’t offer too much to the point you can’t get it out of your pockets or it’s covered in lint. -Comes with a belt clip that doubles as a stand. MIXED FEELINGS - it has a clear window for the back of the phone that allows to you see the Apple logo. Should just remove the window since it doesn’t really serve a purpose. I had a magnetic mount on this window and it just popped out cause it couldn’t support the mount. CONs - it has a window for the Apple logo on the back but not one for the front or back cameras. I understand over time those windows can acumulate dirt but and make pictures come out bad but, Lifeproof has that feature however you’d be paying double for it. - it has rubber covers that protect the charge port and silence switch that can be hard to move while the case is sitting in its belt clip that it comes with. - Has failed connections when using wireless charging. Price wise it’s perfect. It offers you the protection of higher end cases minus some features that your phone is already protected aggainst (waterproof) You can save 50 bucks buying this case instead of a lifeproof case since your phone is technically already water proof. However if you are more active and throw your phone around allot I’d spend the extra money and buy the lifeproof case. But if you’re not playing in the snow or sand everyday or using your phone as a coaster for your coffee mug then this is the case for you.
