Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the Defender Series Case's excellent protection and secure fit for the iPhone SE, 5s, and 5. Many appreciate its ease of use and high-quality construction, while also noting the case's attractive colors and good grip. Although some find it a bit bulky and heavy, and the screen protector could be improved, the overall positive feedback highlights its value for the price.

    Too bulky, ended up purchasing another case that made the phone look not as big as the otter box.

    I bought this for for my dad who is in his 70's and he did research on it and learned how to put it on his phone. However, he could not charge his phone using his Mofi device and did not research how to take it off of his phone so that when he tried to do this, he broke it. For being indestructible, he destroyed it. ARGH

    Style has changed from previous model. Used to be a rugged rubber button cover over the home button. Replaced by a cheap plastic film. Doesn't protect the button as well as before. Holster is poorly made, keeps breaking or pieces become unglued. Screen cover is too thick. Have to press hard for the keypad to pick up entries.

      Hi Mike,

      We’re sorry that the current Defender for the iPhone SE/5s/5 is not meeting your expectations. We changed the home button area so that people with the Touch I.D. on the SE and 5s would be able to use that function.

      That’s a bummer that you are having a bit of bad luck with the holster and that the screen protector is hindering your touchscreen experience. This is not normal and we certainly want to help out. Feel free to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-419-7417, and we will be happy to assist in any way that we can.

    The service was terrible. I went to Best Buy mobile purchased then was sent to the big box store to pick up. I was assured it would be ready. At big box store I was told to come back in 3 hours. I made my lady trip there & got the case. Not going back to Best Buy. I would recommend this cover but not this company

      Hey George,

      We're sorry to learn that all of your Defender belt clips have met the same, tragic end! While our cases are pretty tough, sometimes certain parts take more of a beating than others. That being said, please keep in mind that we are always happy to replace any damaged products under our warranty, provided that we still have the appropriate parts in stock. Just give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be thrilled to help out!

      Cheers,
