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.

      Hi Billy,

      Thanks for your feedback! True, since the Defender case has a built in screen protector you cannot use an additional screen protector with it. We do make cases without built in screen protectors that may interest you. Check out the links below for more information on those OtterBox cases.

      Hi SANjai,

    I returned it. It was way too bulky and uncomfortable. The rubber gaskets made it too awkward to connect cables while in case. New phones are very durable and now waterproof. Don't think its worth aggravation and cost to get a big piece of plastic for phones.

      Hi Milesbuilder,

      We’re sorry that the Defender case is a tad too bulky for your comfort level and that you are not a fan of the port covers. Perhaps you would be more interested in our Symmetry case. It is slimmer than the Defender and it doesn’t have port covers. Check out the link below for more information on that OtterBox case.

      Hey there MrBallzer,

      We truly apologize that you're finding the Defender case a little too bulky for your comfort level. The extra layers add a lot in terms of protection, but we understand that this adds a bit of size to the phone. We might suggest switching to our Commuter case style, which still offers excellent protection, just in a much slimmer design. Take a look by following the link below, and ring up our support team at 1-855-688-7269 with any further inquiries!
