    For as thick as this case is, I was hoping for a little better water protection. Phone was not submerged, but spilled a little water on it. Did not damage the phone, but I had to take the case apart to get all the moisture out from behind the screen protector

      Hi Madhatter,

      We’re sorry if there was any confusion about what the Defender can and cannot do. Although it offers great protection when it comes to drops, dust and scratches, it is not waterproof. If you have any OtterBox questions please feel free to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-419-7417.

      Hi StuB,

      We’re sorry that you are having a bit of bad luck with the belt clip holster. We are bummed that you have been buying replacements as the belt clip is certainly covered under our warranty! If you currently have a damaged clip simply give our helpful Otters a call at 1-855-419-7417, and we will be more than happy to arrange a warranty replacement.

    I am pleased with this product for the most part but the case does not allow the square credit card reader to go all the way in the port causing it not to work. The rubber cover blocks it from going all the way in. Hopefully this problem can be resolved

    It took me and my son (who is a computer engineer, no less) half an hour to figure out how to peel apart the case and put the iphone in. the instructions made no sense. Words and pix might have helped. It was extremely annoying.

    A nice phone case and my second one. The first screen protector became pitted and hard to see through. I've had issues with both of the thumb readers and ended up cutting them out, so my phone will recognize my print.

    Case is tough and rugged. Had to remove the screen protector because it was capturing humidity between it and the screen. When this happened, daily, I couldn’t use the top half of the screen.

      Hi Just,

      We apologize that your experience with the Defender series caused you to detach the built-in screen protector! We typically don't recommend removing any portion of the unit, as this runs the risk of compromising the overall protective abilities and voiding the warranty. We regret not knowing about this situation sooner, as we would have been happy to solve this humidity issue with a replacement case.

      All that being said, we're positive that our friendly Otters would love to see you use the Defender as originally intended, so please feel welcome to give them a call at 1-855-688-7269. We'll see what we can do in the form of a warranty claim to get you back on track to maximum protection!

      Sincerely,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team otterbox

    I keep setting it down and losing it because of the camouflage. Ridiculous. People often ask me why I am walking around talking to myself with my hand to my head because they cant see the phone.

      Hey Danny,

      Sorry to hear that you've had some bad luck in the past with your Defender cases! Our cases are not necessarily designed to be indestructible so much as they're intended to absorb the brunt of any impacts, so as long as your iPhone is still doing okay, we're still going to call this a win and cut straight to the part where we set you up with a warranty replacement. Just give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll always be happy to help!

      Hi Scando,

      We are truly sorry to see that your iPhone took a spill and sustained an injury. We realize just how frustrating a damaged screen can be and completely understand your disappointment. Protecting your device is always our highest priority, and although we put extensive resources toward this end, there are a variety of unique variables with every event that are often beyond our control, and we are unable to guarantee that all risk will be eliminated by use of the case. Although your mobile device is beyond the scope of our warranty, we would very much like to offer you a new OtterBox in the event that yours may have been compromised in the incident as well. Please feel free to reach out to our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and we will be glad to set this up for you.

      Sincerely,

    The Otter Box is not cheap, however it is not user friendly. Hard to get case on phone and then once it is on it makes using the phone difficult. Try something else.

      Hi Leer,

      Sorry to hear that this Defender series cracked while on the front lines of protection! Our cases are not necessarily designed to be indestructible, so much as they are intended to absorb the brunt of any impacts that might otherwise jeopardize your device. So as long as that iPhone is still looking okay, we're going to call this a win and cut straight to the part where we set you up with a warranty replacement! Please feel welcome to call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll process a claim right away. We're confident that the Defender should prove its worth for a long time going forward as it keeps your phone safe and secure!
