Posted .Hey there DJDave,
We apologize that your Defender series holster is having trouble rotating! This is certainly odd, since that belt clip should be able to actually turn 360°. Please feel welcome to call our Otter detectives at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll gladly launch an investigation for you!
Cheers,
OtterBox Customer Service Team
Ok
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ok but front cover could be stronger. It is sad Apple sells a product that you immediately have to buy a cover for.

We're confident that your case will keep your iPhone safe and secure going forward! If you have any questions or issues, please let our supreme support team know by contacting us at 1-855-688-7269!

Provides good protection but bulky
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The case was a good value, but ended up replacing as it is much thicker than some of the newer cases.

Posted .Hi Mike,
We’re sorry that the Defender was a bit too bulky for your comfort level. Perhaps our Commuter case would have been a better fit for you. It is slimmer than the Defender but still offers great protection. Check out the link below for more information on that case.

We’re sorry that the Defender case is a tad too bulky for your comfort level and that it was not your cup of tea. Perhaps you would be more interested in our Commuter case as it is slimmer than the Defender. Check out the link below for more information on that OtterBox case.
