Customer Ratings & Reviews

This OtterBox Defender seems to offer good protection of the phone. It is a little bulky, but overall I like it.

If you are the type of person that cares for their phone and feels like any drop could create a dent in the shell or a crack screen on the phone, the best way to go is with this otterbox case. you will now regret investing in it since its sturdy case makes you feel safe if one day your phone falls to the ground or concrete.

Thie cars is light, easy to grip, and not too bulky.

really great for protecting my phone and a good price.

This is my first Otter Box and I love it! Very protective. Has a nice feel that is easy to hold on to. Great color. Although, I do wish the colors varied a bit more.

Heavy duty protection for your phone, perfect fit!

This is the third Otter Box I have had . I purchased my first Otter Box several years ago when it was recommended by a friend. WIth each new iPhone I purchase an Otter Box. I have dropped my phone on many occasions on very hard surfaces i.e. concrete . My phone has never been damaged due to the protection of the Otter Box

This case was for my wife who wanted to replace her Otterbox Commuter case. We both are impressed with the quality and durability of Otterbox cases and will always buy them to protect our beloved iPhones. The Otterbox Defender is a good value and the price and customer service at Best Buy was outstanding as usual.

It's a big, full otterbox. It's what you would expect. A little large, but good protection. It comes with the plastic over the screen. This phone is used by a younger child, so protection is key, not size. It was on sale, and had the protection I wanted, including port covers, etc. I expect it will last a while!

The product is great for teenagers with smart phones. Even the most conscientious teenager is going to drop the phone once an awhile and nice to have a strong durable case to help. Already had 1 fall and case held up and did great job and no phone damage. The only knock was the color options available at the store, didn't have time to wait for special order via website. Would like to have more color choices at store made available if they exist..

I've used Otterboxes for 5 years and they have always worked for what they are intended for. It's a little bulkier, but your phone won't break when it falls from great heights. Like, say at the peak of a roller coaster onto hard ground. THIS IS NOT A WATERPROOF CASE. You will need to take it apart occasionally to clean everything because it's also not dirt proof. The list of things that are open are: front camera and speaker, back camera and flash, home button, and bottom mic and speaker. I'm not deep sea diving, playing apps in my shower or chasing tornadoes whilst riding dirt bikes so I don't think I need a sealed case that can't be replaced by a basic sandwich bag.

Purchased because of color and that it covered entire phone without having to buy separate phone face shield!

This a good case for everyday use. I removed the plastic screen protector as I already had the stick on type. Call clarity is very good and I see no degradation in connectivity as a result of the case. The case lacks protection from the elements, so care must be taken if working outside in inclement weather. This case replaced my Lifeproof case. After 2 failed Lifeproof cases, I needed something that would last, so lets hope this is it.

I love the defender series and I love the color. As many times as my phone has been dropped this has protected my iPhone wonderfully... No chipping no cracking and the case resists scratches/scuffs. I also love the new feature to the case where I can actually use the thumbprint recognition program on my phone.

I had started a new business, so I went to Best Buy to purchase a new phone. After my purchase I was informed, by th sales associate that they would match the price online. Working construction, my phone is put thru a beating, without this case I am sure that, by now my phone would have incurred some damage.

I like the fit of this otterbox better than the older ones. It's slim and still feels like it will protect the phone. What I don't like is the hole in the screen protector it lets dirt and moisture between the phone and the screen protector. I know it has to be like that because of the fingerprint ID

Active family has 5 iPhone 5's all in OtterBox Defenders. Phones used for obvious reasons plus during long distance runs & long distance biking and have been dropped during these outtings numerous times on all different surfaces with no damage to phones. Phone was even run over by my daughter's bike, no damage. Phone fits in jean's back pocket; does not slide around in car while on center consule. I will only buy OtterBox Defenders. Upgrading to iPhone 6 Plus for work and have to wait for OtterBox Defender. Hurry Up! Bought this one as a gift for a friend who just switched to an iPhone 5s. All 5 of our OtterBox Defenders are about 2 years old. Considering 4 new ones as Christmas gifts.

The case fits snug to the phone. All ports are easily accessible. The case is durable and not bulky.

So, OK, this is not the latest generation of smart phone protection, but lt still is one of the best! The case represents real quality & security. Moreover, the encasement still allows for an outstanding level of audio from the phone's speakers. Compared to most cell phone cases, the Defender's design seems just about bullet-proof! So why only a "4"? Simple, it's time for OtterBox to make this product water-proof, as well!!!!

This Otter Box is a much better product than the first generation but, as far as I can tell, protects just as well. The first generation was very large and had a sticky rubber coating. Great for grip but terrible for getting in and out of a pocket. This one is much easier to get in and out of pockets.
