    After spending so much on a phone it's nice to have the security of knowing you have that added protection. It's s little bulky but you get used to it.

    I love the protection it gives my phone. I drop it at least once each day and it is well protected. Plus, the bright pink color makes it easy to find!

    I like the case but not so much the plastic film screen protection. Would be much nicer if it came with a glass screen protector or had a defender case with that option.

    Otter box does the job and slimmer than past ottorboxs. Only bad thing is that the volume and power buttons are hard to push and the clip breaks easily if not careful

    I have been using otter boxes since the iPhone 4. The cases do provide outstanding protection for your devices. However, in recent years, the quality of the cases has degraded. Pertaining to the 5c case, my two issues are: 1. The cover for the mute button, when closed, can depress the mute the phone due to the design of the cover. You can get around this by trimming the edge of the cover so that it doesn't contact the mute button when closed. 2. The screen cover can cause a perminant haze on the iPhone screen. I have seen this issue with the 5c and 5s covers. On an iPhone 4 that I used with an otter box, after 2 year of use (the case looked totally destroyed. I am abusive) I was able to sell the phone as being in "perfect" condition. Very impressive. However, with the screen hazing issue this is not the case with several 5c's and a 5s I have owned. While the case provides very good protection overall (I have been know to fling my phone across the room into a tile floor and drop it regularly), the otter box cases do not provide the level of protection they once did. The design of the cases have taken several steps forward and several steps back (I believe the cases are more durable and have a better fit than in the past). However, they are not perfect (I never had an issue with the port covers on the older models). Also, expect that if you warranty the case, even though they can be purchased online with free shipping for around 25 bucks, that otter box will charge you a $7 "shipping and handling" fee, and otter box will do anything possible to avoid the subject of a phone being damaged (such as the screen hazing) as a result of using their case. If you get a deal on one of these cases, go for it. If you aren't concerned with the selling value of a used phone, get an otter box. However, for my next phone case, after being an otter box customer for over 5 years, I will be spending an extra $20 bucks and giving life proof a shot.

    Otterbox Defender for Iphone 6s - Good Protection

    The Otterbox Defender series provides triple protection for your IPhone 6s. I like the case because it has a holster so you can wear it on your belt. The only down side is the thick cover over the screen which does a good job of protecting from scratches, requires firm pressure to get a touch screen response. There is also a problem with the Touch ID button being protected so that there is only 1 angle you can access the start button. All of these issues are in the name of protecting the phone and its rubber case and hard plastic cover do a great job of keeping your phone from damage.

    Superior Protection

    I bought this case for a brand new iphone 6. This case provides excellent protection for the entire phone including a built in film over the screen. I also like that the holster/belt clip can double as solid face protection, allowing me to carry my phone in my pocket without worrying about scratches. Though it obviously makes the phone more bulky, this case is exactly what I wanted to protect my phone. The only reason that I didn't give it 5 stars is that I wish that the belt clip was easily removed from the holster so that it would be flatter in my pocket while covering the screen.

    The otter box defender is a case that I believe is one of the best and most protective cases that is out there to protect your iPhone. It is a somewhat bulky but not too much. The touch features still work quite well with the case on. I haven't had problems. I've used otter boxes for all my iPhones and I've dropped them time and time again and they have always remained intact. I totally recommend this product if you are looking for something to protect your phone for the lifetime of the phone.

    Bought the original 6 case that was made before the phone was released so specs weren't perfect and it became really loose after a few months. The newer cases fit much better and more snug. Wish they could find a way to thin the material down with the same protection as the case is still bulky as they always have been but the protection is top notch. Drops might chip the screen protector but never damage the phone. Definitely worth the money and I've used half a dozen cases, trying to limit the bulk ones, always coming back to Otterbox in the end.

    Best Case for Rugged Use

    This is my third or fourth OtterBox Defender case, I've had one for each phone I have had over the years. These cases are rugged and durable and when I am ready to upgrade to a new phone the case and the phone are always like new. I like that the Defender case also gives me complete control and coverage with the touch screen as it provides comple protection of the glass. I don't always use the belt clip, and without it the phone still fits handily in my shirt or pocket. Thumbs up for OtterBox!

    I am very careful to buy products that I want to make sure they will serve its purpose. I also make sure that it will be durable and will last. Once again I am not disappointed. The case I bought will protect my new iphone 6 and help to protect the front glass if dropped. No cover is perfect and the phone can still break, but if treated well this new case will go a long way to protect this very expensive purchase. I always go to Best Buy to buy my electronics, appliances and other related items.
