Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the Defender Series Case's excellent protection and secure fit for the iPhone SE, 5s, and 5. Many appreciate its ease of use and high-quality construction, while also noting the case's attractive colors and good grip. Although some find it a bit bulky and heavy, and the screen protector could be improved, the overall positive feedback highlights its value for the price.

    Belt Clip Jammed

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The belt clip jammed in the open position the first week that I had the case. Of course this makes the clip worthless and I have no idea how to fix it. Also the phone controls are hard to use. For an expensive case I would expect it to work a lot better.

    I only had this product for a day when I realized it said IPhone 5. I didn't know it wasn't for the 5c. Still new to the Apple system. I saw blue and "5" and went for it, until it was time to put it on. So I can only rate the reason for buying it.

    I like hanging my phone on my belt but the plastic holder breaks too often. The actual case does a good job protecting the phone too bad the holder wasn't stronger

      Hi dbh0,

      That’s great that the Defender case is taking care of your iPhone but we’re sorry that the belt clip holster is not going the distance. We understand why that is disappointing and we definitely want to help out. Simply give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269, and we will be more than happy to get a warranty replacement arranged in practically no time at all!

    Coverage of phone input ports prevents accessories

    Had to return this item because the case covers input ports and requires one to remove case to be able to plug in accessories. The case itself is very sturdy, however.

      Hi Randy,

      Our apologies for any confusion surrounding the Defender series style! The port covers on the case are actually engineered to open and close, allowing for complete port access. Had you contacted us, our friendly Otters would have been happy to help troubleshoot this for you, but we also completely understand your decision to head in a different direction. We sincerely hope that this experience does not prevent you from considering our protective options in the future, and if you have any other questions going forward, please feel free to reach out to us at 1-855-688-7269!

      Best,

    the warranty lacks any compassion for the product. The belt holder itself is plastic; therefore, the clip breaks and the only way to replace it is to buy a whole new package.

    Not what I expected from OtterBox

    I've always held OtterBox to a higher standard, so when I had a chance to buy one for my iPhone 5s, I was excited to try it out. Turns out, after only a few days, I was regretting my decision to purchase this clip. The material around the supporting body is flimsy and has deteriorated where the rubber meets the clip. The phone is clunky to put back in the "holster", often can't be done on the fly. Honestly, I'm disappointed...but I'm making it work.

    I'm afraid it will fall apart eventually like my last otter box. It also does not easily allow for things to fit (like chargers, adapters, etc) without taking the phone out of the otter box.

      Hi singlemom,

      We’re sorry that this Defender case cracked at all, let alone after one month. We’re also bummed that moisture is getting underneath the screen protector. We would like to send you a new case through our warranty. Please give us a call at 1-855-419-7417, and we will be happy to get that set up for you.

    Overpriced, durability of clip seems cheap. We had three cases for our other I phones and the belt clips broke on all three. As much ad the phone is used there needs to be a better dedign.

    Otter box seems to be a better case than some of the other brands. My only complaint on this was that it didn't have the button protector like my last otter box case.

    The outside rubber shell after a short period of time pulls away on the corners. Otterbox no longer offers lifetime replacement for this case.

      Hi Steve,

      We’re sorry that the silicone slipcover on this Defender case is getting a bit stretched out. We also apologize for any confusion about our warranty. True, technically it is a one-year limited warranty but even if it is after the first year we will still try to help out. Typically as long as we still have inventory in our warranty warehouse we can make things happen. Please give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269, and we will be happy to assist in any way that we can!

    Since our first iPhone, our family has used otter boxes. Each time one is purchased now, it seems to last less time than before. Disappointed

      Hi BBadict,

      Thanks for being a fan of our cases! We’re sorry that some of your later OtterBox purchases are not lasting as long as we’d hope they would. This is disappointing but we assure you that our standards have not diminished and if you ever need assistance with a case we are happy to help. If you ever have a case that gets damaged please do not hesitate to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 so that we can get a warranty replacement set up!

      Happy Holidays,
