Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the Defender Series Case's excellent protection and generally good fit, citing positive feedback on its quality and ease of use. Many appreciate the case's color options and grippy texture, although some find it bulky. A few customers expressed concerns about the included screen protector and the durability of the belt clip. While some wish for better water resistance, the overall sentiment points towards a protective and well-regarded product.

    This Cover is great for the people are very clumsy and drop their phones all the time ! Cons about this is that is comes with a screen protector but because it’s bulky ness it’s not right on the phone I have to press down and longer to text etc I ripped it off but works prefect without it !

    I wish they could come up with a case that can protect without being so bulky. the phone was a gift so I didn't pick it out. I have a busy and hectic life so I do need the protection. If you don't need the protection I would choose another case.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Hi theresa,

      We're sorry to hear you aren't satisfied with your case. Have you checked out the Commuter Series? The Commuter Series is a two-piece case that still offers great protection, but is slimmer than the Defender. Feel free to give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions.

      Check it out here:

    I have dropped my phone a bunch of times so far, including on some very hard surfaces, and it hasn't broken (yet). Great case for us clumsy sort. Wish it was less bulky and more waterproof, but I don't get the garbled speaker/phone call issues I got with the case that meets those requirements.

    I just got my iPhone 8plus and I was scared about dropping it since it’s full glass. I like how the case feels on my phone not to heavy either. Over all very good case

    I've always used an Otterbox case on all my phones, however, it Does make the iphone 8 plus even bigger! I use a regular cover & the Otterbox when I do activities.

    I require all my kids to have the defender on their phone. They drop them all the time and even slammed the car door on the phone without damage to the phone.

    This case is very solidly built. The included screen protector led us to return the separate screen protector we purchased before we even opened it. Great purchase!

    Bought this case for my new iPhone plus Red.Would have gave it a higher rating except my last OtterBox rubber fell apart after three years that’s the reason I had to get a new phone and case. Bought a cheaper crappy case and that’s the reason my screen broke crappy inferior case

      Hi BEB76,

      We're so sorry to hear that you're experiencing a few signal issues! This is definitely a curious situation, especially since to our knowledge, the Defender series should not hinder your signal strength by any means. In fact, the case is engineered to allow for full functionality of the protected device. Our super-sleuth Otters will be happy to investigate this further, so please feel welcome to give them a ring at 1-855-688-7269. They'll put a magnifying glass up to this to see if we can help find the root of the problem!

      Best,

    I have always used Otterbox products. The box is well made and came with a belt clip. Best Buy met a competitor's price and made the purchase a no brainer
