Our 18-year-old daughter uses this otterbox. She set the phone on top of her car at school as she put in her books and was distracted and forgot the phone and drove off. A few minutes later she remembered and went back, to find that several cars had run over the phone--which was in perfect condition. The only thing wrong with the otterbox was a small piece of the flap over the charger was broken off. Very well worth the money!

Case protects well and is not really bulky. Front can make touch screen hard to work

I needed the best case for my 5s and the OtterBox is the only brand I choose. I have two 6s Plus units and I have dropped both many times. One uses an OtterBox the other uses a Ballistic Tungsten Slim which I was unable to locate for some time. I love the Ballistic cases but OtterBox is available for all of my iOS devices - iPhone and iPad Pro. High price but worth it after that first drop.

I bought the Otterbox Defender case because a friend had the same size iPhone that I had just bought, and she had no problems for several years. My salesman also installed the case and the screen protector. In just over a month, it has worked perfectly and the size and texture of the case make it easier to grab and hold on to. No problem with dropping like my old flip phone.

This case is very durable. I haven't had another case satisfy me as much as this one has. I enjoy using it. It is stylish, and protective and that's all I could ask for. Some have style but lack protection and some have protection but lack style, this one has both. Once in a while you have to take the case off and clean the edges of your phone because debris gets I between the case and your phone but it is super easy to clean.

I purchased this for my daughters phone and it has already saved it 3 times from destruction. She tends to drop things a lot and her past iPhone just had a regular case on it which ended up with a cracked screen. Thanks to the Otter Box case so far all drops have just ended up scratching the Otter Box itself and the iPhone is still in perfect shape!! A little pricey but you get what you pay for.

My first smart phone had to have a good case. My research lead me to the Otterbox. The case fits the phone better than expected. The one negative was the belt clip on the holster broke after three weeks (my fault). I caught the phone getting into a car while on vacation. However that small issue was outweighed by the excellent customer service people at Otterbox, that sent me a new holster after completing the warranty form.

I’m writing this review a fu two years after purchasing this case and it’s still on my phone. The only minor complaint I have is cleaning the phone and case is a little tedious. Other than that this is the premier phone case on the market. I’ve dropped my phone a few times and it’s never even gotten a scratch. Top quality item and definitely worth the price.

Protects Iphone but is bulky and clunky

This cover protects the phone well. Kind of like wrapping it in a blanket or bubble wrap. However it is somewhat difficult to install and it makes the phone very bulky so you cant easily carry the phone in a pocket or slim-line holster. The trade off is that you can drop the freaking phone on a tile floor and it wont shatter - but the tradeoff is you have a clunky package to carry and no longer fits easily in a pocket.

Hey Jimbo,
We apologize that this Defender series isn't entirely matching up with your style so far! While the multiple layers of the case do add a lot in terms of protection, we completely understand that the rugged design isn't necessarily for everyone. If you're looking for something that still provides excellent device security, but in a slimmer style, we would recommend our Commuter series! The Commuter is sleek, and focuses on pocket-friendly protection. Check it out via the link below, and feel free to call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269 with any other questions that you may have!
