This was excellent for the price. Unfortunately the light color gets dirty constantly and some will not wipe off right. The screen cover makes it hard to type.

The case is too bulky. The plastic screen cover feels cheap and makes my touch screen and 3D Touch hard to use some times impossible.

Hi Nita,
We are sorry that the Defender case is a tad too bulky for your comfort level and that the screen protector is interfering with your touchscreen interaction. The touchscreen issue is not normal and we will be happy to assist with that predicament.
We do have slimmer cases that you may be more interested in, check out the links below for more information on our Commuter and Symmetry cases.
Please feel free to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269, and we will gladly help in any way that we can!

Chunky case provides protection and diminishes touchscreen performance. Consumer must decide between protection or performance.

The color is adorable, but rubs off easy on jeans or any other surface so it doesn't stay clean long. Case itself is durable.

You can think it is plugged into the charger port but it is in between the cover and phone. Not easy to plug into the phone

Hi Tricia,
We are sorry that the Defender case is a bit too bulky for your comfort level. Perhaps you would be more interested in our Commuter or Symmetry style case as they are both slimmer than the Defender. Check out the links below for more information on those OtterBox cases.
Of course if you ever have any OtterBox questions please feel free to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269. We are happy to help!

The phone case itself is great. However. If you put it in your back pocket the outside gets dirty very fast.

If this doesn’t clear things up, please feel free to give our color-conscious Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269, and we will be happy to assist in any way that we can!

Dear Mimi,
We dearly apologize that this Defender series is a little too thick for your comfort level! We might suggest one of our slimmer styles, such as the Symmetry series. The Symmetry comes in a variety of colors and patterns, and offers superior protection while sporting a thinner design! Feel free to take a peek by following the link below, and call our wonderful Otters at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions. They're always delighted to provide assistance!

Dear Tash,
We're so sorry to hear that your new teal case and your favorite jeans aren't getting along! This would definitely be disappointing, and if you wanted a dark blue case, you would have ordered one in the first place! Here at OtterBox, we want you to have a clean, stylish case that also protects your iPhone. Our color-conscious Otters will be happy to process a warranty claim for you to get your case back to pristine condition, so feel free to reach them at 1-855-688-7269 to get that process started!
