The case provides great damage control support. It is what I needed to provide protection while working in an area where the flooring is tiled.

The Otter Box really protects your iPhone from everyday bumps and drops. The screen protector ensures that slipping it into a purse or pocket is just not so dangerous! The case is really easy to grip and although it does add to the bulk of the phone in terms of the physical size, it still is light weight.
I really think think this is a good investment to protect an expensive smart phone!

This OtterBox defender case it's really sturdy and will do the job of protecting your iPhone very well. But good protection always comes at a bit of a cost. This case is a bit bulky due to all of the layers of the protection that go into it. That said, if you use the included belt clip you'll hardly notice the added bulk. If you are looking for a strong and sturdy case, and don't mind the bulk, this is the case for you. This color also stands out a bit more and compliments white colored iPhones nicely.

Excellent protection against falls but it is at the expense of being heavy & bulky. Also, the holster clip is not that sturdy. Wish Otter could figure out how to deal with this.

Brand response from OtterBox Customer Support

Hi hslo,
We’re glad that the Defender is taking care of your iPhone 5/5s. It is a delicate balance designing a case that will protect your device and not make it too bulky. We do everything in our power to walk that line and provide the best of both worlds. When you say “sturdy” do you mean that the belt clip holster is loose or that it is broken? Either way it shouldn’t be loose or broken and we can easily replace it through our warranty. Feel free to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269, and we will be happy to help out in any way that we can.
