Customers are saying

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.

    The cellphone is ok, but the company Sprint is one of the worst communication companies due I lost the signal all the time, the internet works very slowly or doesn't work all the time, the communication is very bad. Most of the time I can't hear or they can hear me, even I can't send a simple message.

      Dear Anonymous,

      We deeply apologize that you're finding the Defender case a little too bulky for your comfort level! Even with the extra layers, there shouldn't exactly be any space between the case and the phone itself, since the case is intentionally designed to hug the device tightly. We would love to remedy the situation with a warranty claim, so please feel welcome to call our handy Otters at 1-855-688-7269. They'll be happy to fix you up with a replacement case!

      Regards,

    Case fits phone well but did not work well with the screen protector. I cut out the plastic screen from the case and it worked much better. The screen is more responsive if you remove the otter box plastic screen

      Hi there,

      We are sorry that the screen protector on this Defender case was diminishing the touchscreen sensitivity. This is not normal and we wish that you would have reached out to us before altering the case. Modifying the case may change the protective qualities of the product.

      If you ever need any assistance with an OtterBox case please do not hesitate to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269. We are happy to help!

      Hi Moneylaw,

      Yikes! You certainly did not order a Defender with a side of bowing, that's for sure! We apologize that you felt the best option was to return the product, and had you contacted us, we would have loved to assist with a warranty replacement. If you have any additional OtterBox questions, please don't hesitate to contact our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be glad to help as much as they can!

    I purchased this otter box because I really loved the one I had for my iPhone6. This new version is really heavy and cumbersome. The box itself is pretty, but I have since exchanged it for a much lighter case

      Hi Kate,

      We’re sorry that the Defender case for the iPhone 7 Plus is a bit too heavy for your comfort level. We’re not sure which case you ended up with but perhaps you would be 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.

    I returned the case because when I opened it up the clear cover had a scratch on it. Very frustrating, so I returned it before leaving Best Buy. I might try another one in the future but not right now.

    The screen was my biggest issue, as it wouldn't lay flat on the surface of the phone screen - so had a lot of issues with the phone screen recognizing my motions. Had to return it.
