A:AnswerCamera are not covered. The rear camera extents beyond the body a bit as an FYI. But both cameras have not covering. The home button does but it is not a traditional home button any more and does not depress into the body anymore. It is a little difficult to explain but it has had a change and I am not sure what I think about it yet. So far, I do not hate it. The Screen has the covering only now.
A:AnswerUnless you work around water all the time I would recommend the Defender. There is just no tougher case out there for an active person. One of my sons had the one for waterproof and ended up cracking his screen , glass and camera. They are as tough as the come and they back up the quality as well. I broke a clip and called Otterbox and within minutes they had me taken care of for free even while it was my fault it broke. I just don't think you can beat this case.
A:AnswerI cut out the Otter case protector and applied the laminated glass shield, otherwise it would have been too chunky. And the sensitivity would have been frustrating.
A:AnswerIt's covered up, but can easily be opened to plug in the cable. The flap is the perfect shape to fit in the cable slot, and when charging the phone, the flap is up.
A:AnswerYes, I always remove the screen protector on Defender cases. This particular one left a glue residue, but it was easily cleaned off. It's not made to be removed, but it's easily removed.
