I bought this as a gift for my grandson, he had an Itouch and he was always dropping it. Since I bought this, no more cracks on the phone. The screen is a little thick, but worth it anyway.

I bought this case to protect my 11 year old son's first cell phone. I've used Otterbox cases on my own phones for years and wouldn't consider anything else. This is hardcore protection.

The OtterBox Defender Series case for IPhones are the toughest cases available and offer great protection. The case is durable and keeps out the elements as well as offers protection against drops and dings.

We have always purchased this brand and model for our phones. So, when our children had their first phone, we wanted the same great protection.

Does a great job at protecting your iPhone. Just make sure there is no dust on the screen before closing it. It is hard to open up afterwards. Best case I have found.

Had to buy a replacement phone for the latest one that my teenager found a way to destroy. Purposely bought this case for the iPhone SE to maximum the "return on my investment". He has had the phone (in case) for over a month - works like a charm and the phone is snug as a bug in a rug.

After having many different phone cases for a teenage girl and replacing a phone a few times, this case is the winner. I have watched the phone be dropped a few times and it comes out unscathed.

I purchased this for my 11 year old. The case provides great protection and withstands drops and rough handling daily. I prefer this model because it has a built in screen protector.

This is my second Otter Box Defender phone case the first was on my iPhone 4 and now for my new SE. Same great quality with all the same protection as before. Only draw back is the thicker charging port cover is a little harder to open than before.
Still a great product to protect a great phone!

This case is hard to get off once it is on but that is pretty much the point of full protection. If you plan on putting a case on your phone and never taking it off then this is a great case.

I always buy Otterbox products for my devices; they rarely ever disappoint me, and when they do, it's almost when I am getting into a new phone or device. Highly recommend.

Dear wifephonecase,
We so apologize that the Defender feels a little too bulky for your comfort level! Fortunately, we have many different styles of cases, some of which still provide excellent security, but in much slimmer designs. One of these is the Commuter, and we think it might work better for you! Feel free to take a look via the link below, and call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269 with any further inquiries!

If you want a really great and protective case then go with this case. It has a built in screen protector so I did not have to buy one and have the headaches of putting it on. Amazing case.
