    I LOVE my Otterbox Defender Series case! I've always had a Defender case for all my iPhones and it works wonders. I ALWAYS drop my phone whether it falls out of my hand or off of my lap as I get out of my car and my phone has never been damaged while it has been in this case. The new iPhone 7 cases are shaped a bit differently and now that I have the glass protector screen on my phone underneath my case, it is not as sensitive to my touch along the edges of the keyboard. The case also makes the phone a little bulkier, but you get used to it. These things may be annoying, but I'd much rather have small annoyances rather than a broken phone. I would recommend this case to anyone who drops their phone and needs a ton of protection and absorption for their phone!

    The Otter Box Defender provides great protection against falls, drops, etc. Color selection is good and it is easy to hold. Removing the case has improved from earlier versions, but it still fits tight and secure.

    With my Otterbox I know my Phone is Protected when I remove it from my phone my phone looks brand new. The Otter box also doesn’t feel to big and bulky. It also never gets in the way of my phone use.

    Couldn't be more pleased. Stylish enough for my daughter, and fully-protects our investment. Easy to put together, and not too cumbersome to carry. Very glad to have purchased the top of the line model!

    For safety reason my 10 year old needed a phone. This case was cute enough that she loved it but strong enough for my taste. It has been over 6 month and this case has protected the phone from a couple of drops down the steps and being accidentally kicked across a gym floor and still protecting strong!

    This is the 3rd otter cover that i have purchased for three different phones. It completely protects the phone and screen . I have dropped it from my pocket to the cement and not a scratch done to phone. The case itself is sturdy and undamaged. No additional protector glass is required either.

    This case is excellent. Provides great protection including screen protector, belt clip which is what I needed, and complete surround safety. A little on the big size compared to other cases w/o the clip but total protection even after a couple of drops. Would definitely recommend.

    The case is very strong and protective which is exactly what I was looking for. It's a little heavy but doesn't feel too bulky. I highly recommend if you want superior protection.

    The case is strong and durable. i have been using it for more than a year now and it is still good. I dropped it several time accidentally on all kinds of surfaces and it really protected my iphone. The only con is.. it is very bulky and sometimes wont fit in the pocket.

    Bought for my daughter who breaks phones constantly. Even though it's a little bulky, (she actually likes this and finds it easier to hold onto) the phone is still in tack. I feel confident this case will allow her phone to survive a couple years. Only criticism I have is it tends to hold dirt.

    This case performed as expected, my phone has survived a few drops from about 2-3' high. I am a service person and work in damp/wet environments and my phone has been protected from moisture/water damage. My one complaint is that it does allow debris to get between phone and case causing scratches to finish (jet black) and requiring frequent cleaning of screen protector. While for obvious reasons I mostly keep in case, I was a little bummed out by the surface scratches when I removed phone the first time to clean screen. If you are really trying to prevent this. I would use belt clip only (no pockets) and clean often...

    I purchased the outter box defender for our farm employees cell phones. These are the only cases that really protect cell phones. Our employees are constantly working on tractors around dirt and the elements and these cases really protect phones. Highly recommeded

    This case fits perfectly and doesn't make the phone to bulky to carry. I like the rough texture which makes it easier to handle. Not too slick like some other cases.

    I have owned a otterbox defender for every iPhone since my original 3GS years ago, and I have never once broken any part of any of my phones. I work outside doing landscaping and I recommend these cases to anyone who wants to keep their phone from breaking they truly give you the best protection for the price. For those of you that don't know Best Buy will match any amazon prime price!!! I got mine for less than $24.00 which is amazing for a case that probably saves my phones life daily. Even if you only drop your phone once a year this case will pay for itself. I would recommend this to anyone.

    I always buy an Otterbox Defender for our iPhones! I will never buy anything else. They are a little spendy, but this one was on clearance for 50% off and was a good color for my son’s phone. I would like to see more trendy color choices for this item.

    This is a great case for an iPhone 7. Excellent protection and does not add too much bulk, so fits in my shirt pocket and helps prevent it from falling out.

    Love the Otterbox Defender cases. I now have three in different colors. Great grip so they are easy to hold on to and feel comfortable in hand. I don't care for the built in screen protector so the first thing I do when I get the new case is carefully pop out the plastic screen protector, clean up the glue residue with a little Goo-Gone, and then install on the phone. I use a glass screen protector. There are definitely slimmer cases out there, and I own a few of those also, but I feel the phone is more at risk with anything other than a Defender on it. Highly recommend!

    I bought this Otterbox for my nephew who just graduated from Basic Training in the Army. He just bought a new iPhone 7, and desperately needed a military grade case to protect his new device. This case covered his iPhone perfectly, not to mention he has a tempered glass screen protector installed. I was shocked that this case fit his phone with the protector installed. This was a best case scenario for him. I'm very happy about this case. It's better made than my Otterbox Defender for my iPhone 6 was made. Seems that the company is continuously improving their products.

    Ultimate Protection

    It does add bulk, and if you ever switch the case out you will be able to tell the difference, but you have to sacrifice that for protection. I've dropped my iPhone with this case on and never worried about damage. It feels secure in the hand. The color is pretty nice too. Like all defender cases you do have to deal with the rainbow rings on the built in screen protector, and if you have a tempered glass screen protector, you will end up having to remove it prior. You can keep it on, but it'll create space between the glass and the built in, making it a pain to text. The silicone around the apple logo cut out starts loosening after a short period of time, which I've noticed on other Defender cases I've had over the years. I never keep the same case on my phone for long so it hasn't affected me, but if you tend to keep the same case on your phone till it wears and tears, then you will notice that too.
