    I really wanted the commuter, but the store did not have it the color I wanted (pink). I went ahead and purchased this one.not super happy with it but it does the job.

    I always go with the otter boxes because they are one of the only heavy duty cases available. Same problems with this one as all the others but all in all acceptable.

    Serves it's purpose but the fastener needs to be pivotal for horizontal or vertical mode for wearing. Rather uncomfortable at times in certain situations.

      Hi Chico14,

      While we're excited that this Defender is providing stellar device security, we're bummed to hear that you’re experiencing a couple of issues! To start, this case is actually engineered to keep out all sorts of debris, so if dust was infiltrating the barriers, something may have been misaligned. This also could have caused the speaker ports to not line up correctly, resulting in muffled audio. If you'd like to give the Defender another shot, please feel welcome to call our friendly representatives at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll send you a warranty replacement. We're confident that a new case should deliver on all of your OtterBox hopes and dreams!

      Cheers,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team otterbox

      Hi stonecold,

      We’re sorry that the Defender is a bit too bulky for your comfort level. You may be more interested in our Commuter or Symmetry cases. They are slimmer than our Defender and they still offer great protection. Check out the links below for more information on those cases. Of course, if you have any OtterBox questions please feel free to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-419-7417.

      Dear Beth,

      We're so glad to hear that your iPhone is sitting pretty in this Defender case! Our apologies that your screen sensitivity is having a harder time adjusting - it sounds like that unit might be suffering from a "trampoline gap," which means a little bit of air underneath your screen protector is causing a slight decrease in touch response. Please feel welcome to call our handy Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll find a quick fix for this right away!

      Cheers,

      Hi Annette,

      Hey Keith,

      We apologize that this Defender series doesn't seem to be working seamlessly with your iPhone! If you're having trouble interacting with your phone display, your case might be suffering from a trampoline gap, which means that the screen protector is sitting a little higher than we would normally prefer. Please feel welcome to call our awesome Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll go ahead and hook you up with a warranty replacement. You'll have smooth screen security again in no time!

      Best,
