    Poor case

    This case was terrible. It doesn't closely fit the iPhone 16e, and constantly came loose. After only two weeks of use, the screen protector shattered, and I had to replace it, so I replaced the case, too. I will say that I got a different OtterBox case (Commuter +, I think), and it has been excellent. It is possible I got a defective case, but I wouldn't trust this model again.

    Its a decent phone case for the most part. My husbands phone keeps trying to easily pop out of the case though, which is concerning, especially because it isnt a cheap phone case. I'd probably spend my money on a better case honestly.

    Have had two of these. They stink. Otterbox is always my go to. Use them for all my and kids phones. It this one is poor. Plastic breaks easily and the rubber falls off and breaks. I’m now on my third. And I’m not buying it again. Their warranty is easy and quick. But you have to pay $10 for a new one. Since this one lasted less a than 6months. I’m moving on. Disappointed in otterbox

    RETURNING IT

    Dislikes 1. the fact that it's not solid material all the way through. 2. the inner lining in flimsy and comes detaches from the hard shell randomly. 3. There isn't enough clearance around the lens and screen to protect them (hold a flat edge across the berm/lip of the lens "protector," and you'll notice that flat edge barely missies the lens surface). 4. the power cord protector/lid is a complete gimmick. In fact it is annoying and frustrating when you need to charge the phone quickly with one hand. I've had cases without such "protectors," and it has no bearing on the integrity of the phone. likes-- Can't find any. in general- a deplorable piece of design/engineering. I don't know where the manufactures get the temerity to charge $40 for this nonsensical piece of gimmickry, but they should be ashamed! They've cut massive corners, and to be peddling this product as "drop safe" is egregious. For the price, it should be one solid piece with generous berms for the screen and lens. Unfortunately we live in flagitious times and price is determined without any merit. This'll be a RETURN.

    Not a fan of the rubber sides... It doesn't feel safe at all. I was able to pull the sides, including see the edge of the phone. Touching it, doesn't offer much protection at all. RETURNED TO STORE after 10 minutes.

    I’ve always been a big user of Otterbox products, but they’ve absolutely dropped the ball on this case. Phone is constantly falling out of the case in the top right corner. Not sure whether this is a defect or just a poor design. Definitely not worth the price tag for this problem to be continuously occurring.
