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.

      Hey Pickle!

      Oh no! We hear you loud and clear, which is the same audio quality we expect from our cases! We apologize that you've been dealing with some muffled phone calls, and it sounds like the case is blocking your speaker a little more than we would usually prefer. But don't worry - audio issues with our cases are pretty rare, and our fantastic Otters are ready to help out! Please don't hesitate to call them at 1-855-688-7269 so they can order you a warranty replacement. We'll get you on the road to crystal clear audio again in no time!

      Hi John,

      Thanks for your feedback! We’re sorry that the Defender case is a tad too bulky for your comfort level. Perhaps you would be more interested in our Commuter or Symmetry case as they are slimmer than the Defender case. Check out the links below for more information on those OtterBox cases.

    Not many cases are available for the iPhone 7 so I bought this one as Otterbox has always been a great choice. The rubber does not for as tight and dirt gets in the phone and the clip broke in 2 days!!! Literally 2 days. I'm very disappointed and won't be buying Otterbox again.

Please give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269, and we will be more than happy to get a warranty replacement lined up as soon as possible.

      Hi Deehardy,

      Although we are glad that this Defender is taking care of your iPhone 7 Plus we are sorry that it is getting a bit dirty. 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 help out in any way that we can.

    Don't buy, waste of money, the awful screen protector is plastic and can't use touch screen features. Also dust accumulates in the case and is a hassle to take off!
