Customers are enthusiastic about the Defender Series Pro Hard Shell's protective qualities and how well it fits the iPhone 13. Many appreciate the case's sturdy build, secure grip, and ease of use, although some find it a bit bulky and note the absence of a screen protector. The price point is also a factor for some customers, with a few considering it expensive. While wireless charging compatibility is an issue for some, the overall positive feedback highlights the case's protective capabilities.
This otter box defender case is slim fit which is shocking..it’s not bulky at all,,it has a nice rubberish grip backing..it doesn’t slip out your hand..I have the iPhone 13 pro..

Rated 3 because wireless charging is unreliable when the Otter Box Defender Pro case is installed on an iPhone 13 and using the Scosche BaseLynx Modular Charging System wireless charging module. Otherwise this is a very good rugged case with a belt holster and kickstand. The iPhone 13 wireless charging is reliable with the Scosche BaseLynx system only without the Otter Defender Pro case or with only the inner hard case installed, but without the rubbery outer skin. The iPhone 13 will occasionally begin wireless charging with the full Defender Pro case installed, but only after very careful adjustment of the position over the round circle target on the Scosche BaseLynx or by pressing down slightly on the phone/case to kickstart the wireless charging. The issue may be due to the wireless coupling strength of the Scosche BaseLynx wireless charging module, the thickness of the Defender Pro two-part case when assembled, or a combination of both. Nonetheless, in this configuration wireless charging is unreliable.

I only buy OtterBox cases and the Defender Series is my favorite model. I have dropped my phone SO many times in every direction from different heights, etc. and my phone is NEVER nicked. I have repurchased this case probably at least 3-5 times over many years. Still always my favorite. Will always protect your phone. It does make your phone a little clunky, but it's worth the protection.
