Not a good case

I put my iPhone 6 Plus in this case. It did not protect my phone and the case itself cracked and the corner broke off. I had to get my phone replaced. Usually otter box is pretty good. I guess they are using cheaper plastic now. I regret buying this case.

Hi Cuddycy,
When you say that the Defender was a little too big, do you mean that it was too bulky for your comfort level or that it didn’t fit? If it didn’t fit, that is strange as our cases are designed to fit their device like a glove but if this is the situation we suggest that you return it to Best Buy for an exchange.
If the Defender is just a bit too bulky then you might be interested in the Commuter or Symmetry style case. They are both slimmer than the Defender and still offer great protection. Check out the links below for more information on those OtterBox products. Of course, if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to call our friendly Otters at 1-855-419-7417.

I have an IPHONE 6 Plus. I dropped my phone on the carpet in my apartment. My case remained up-touched, but it did not protect my phone. The screen of my phone was shattered into pieces along with the screen protector I had on it.

Dear Mike,
We're so sorry to hear that your wife's iPhone suffered a fatal accident while under the watchful protection of our Defender case. We test our cases extensively to ensure that they provide the best protection possible, but unfortunately, we are unable to guarantee that all risk is eliminated through the use of our products. Even though the warranty is not transferable to the Apple device itself, we would very much like to send you a new OtterBox to ease the sting, even if just a little. If this sounds like an option that you would like to pursue, please feel free to call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269!

Dear Ayana,
We're genuinely sorry to learn that your iPhone retained detrimental damage while under the vigilant protection of this Defender series. While we test the Defender extensively to ensure that it meets our high standards of protection, unfortunately, every drop or fall is subject to a number of different variables and angles, some of which are beyond our control, and we cannot guarantee that all exposure to risk is eliminated through the use of our products.
Although our warranty is not transferable to the Apple device itself, our friendly representatives would very much like to send you a new OtterBox so that you can get off to a fresh start once that screen is repaired. If this sounds like an option that you might be interested in, please feel welcome to give us a call at 1-855-688-7269, and we'll be glad to further assist you with this.
