    This is by far the best case you can buy however it does make the 8 plus a little large to carry in your pocket.

    The only con of the product is that the screen protector begins to show wear within the first month or two.

    Worked great when I kept my phone on the clip. I’ve had zero problems and my phone has not been damaged by any of the times I’ve dropped it. However, I would find that the thin sides of the front plastic would easily break when I put my phone in my pocket. Being able to get a replacement part from otterbox however has been a breeze and I continue to buy this for my family’s phones.

    I have used these for years and have at times had my phone drop off my lap from the couch and never worried about damaging my phone. A trick I have found is remove the flap(cover) over the insert for the power/headphones and it keeps the outside rubber material from stretching so fast.

    This is my 3rd OtterBox Defender. Still has the sturdy structure. I love that fact that it has a built in screen protector. I once drove off with my phone left on the top of my car. It finally flew off when I hit 40mph...my phone came out unharmed thank to my defender!

    The Otterbox is tough and stands up to its reputation. The biggest disadvantage is its toughness comes with a price-big and uncomfortable to wear.

      Hi ljeanl,

      We're so happy to see that your Defender is providing tough protection for your iPhone! However, we absolutely understand that, while the extra layers offer maximum security, they make the case a little larger than normal. Our slimmer Commuter style might fit your preferences much better. The Commuter still supplies excellent protection, yet with a much sleeker design. Check it out by following the link below, and ring up our helpful representatives at 1-855-688-7269 with any inquiries!

    The case seems very sturdy but the holster broke within a week. We were able to replace it and so far so good. Hopefully this one will last.

    My first otterbox, have generally used an inexpensive case with a holster. Would have liked a kickstand or similar, but really like that the mute button is protected, since I would bump it on without realizing it. Wireless charging works through the case.
