Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the Defender Series Case's protection and fit, frequently citing positive feedback on its ability to safeguard their iPhone 7 Plus and its snug design. Many also appreciate the case's color options and ease of use. However, some customers find the case bulky and have expressed concerns about the screen protector's durability and susceptibility to scratches and smudges; the lack of water resistance was also noted.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    Otter box iPhone case is good on a safety point of view.. but the touch becomes less sensitive after putting the cover on. Still it's manageable.

    Probably great if you need it, but bulky.

    I returned this product because it added unnecessary weight and bulk to the phone. If I needed extreme protection, I might want this case

      Hey Bill,

      We're so sorry to see that the Defender was not the case for you! The extra layers add increased security, but we understand that this makes the case a little bulkier than usual. We would propose taking a look at our Symmetry case, which still offers ample protection, but in a much slimmer design. Feel free to check it out right here on Best Buy by clicking on the link below, and reach out to us at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions or concerns!

    This will work for someone who works outside a lot. It's a super huge looking case. Not good for a person wanting something small and discrete.

      Hi 4LittleOne,

      We are sorry that the Defender is a tad too big for your comfort level. Thankfully we understand that the Defender might not be for everyone so we made cases that are slimmer. Check out the links below for more information on our Commuter and Symmetry style cases.

      Hi Bobbie,

      We’re sorry that the Defender case is a bit too bulky for your comfort level. True, it is not designed to work with an adhesive screen protector as it already has one built into the case. Perhaps you would be more interested in our Commuter or Symmetry case as they are both slimmer than the Defender. Check out the links below for more information on those OtterBox cases.

      HI Lydia,

      Thanks for your feedback! We completely understand your concern about the Defender case getting stained while being in a pocket. If this happens to occur we always suggest cleaning our products using mild soap and water (never with abrasive or corrosive cleaners that may damage the case).

      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!

      Hi there,

      We are sorry that this Defender case did not go the distance. It is better that the case cracked and not your iPhone 7 Plus as we can easily replace your damaged case through our warranty! Simply give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269, and we will be more than happy to get a new warranty replacement lined up!
