Durability doesn't seem as good as 4/4S but the feel and protection are great... while they last. With so few belt-clip cases that protect the phone I hope Otterbox can improve. I had one that started peeling and separating where the clip rubbed after a few months. I replaced it after a while with another one that started stretching, eventually one corner wouldn't stay on correctly and it was replaced. 2 years+ and my phone still looks almost brand new. I've mastered the art of clipping and sanding the belt-clips to remove the STUPID sharp stand clip that jabs into your side if you ever bump the phone or sit in a chair with arms... or seat belts... or padding... or sometimes just a back.

This otter box served it's purpose of protection. It is a little bulky, but protection out weighs the appearance when it comes to my son's phone.

This is a great case for phone protection from drops and mild spills. However, it is bulkier, so if you are looking to keep it thinner, this is not a great case. Otherwise, I recommend it.

Like the feel of this case. It is durable. Seems to get dust between clear plastic and phone but up too easily.

Otterbox Defender Provides Excellent Protection

Just bought a new iPhone SE & wanted the best protection possible for the price. After reading numerous reviews online, the Defender series fit the bill. It provides Drop, Dust, Screen & Scratch Protection. It even comes with a holster that can be used as a mini stand for hand-free use. iPhones are sleek but hard to hold, so this case definitely provides better grip & I love the Gunmetal Gray/White color combo.

I love this case. It has always been reliable and protective on each version of the phone I have had. I did try another brand and it was hardly "lifeproof." Twice the case peeled apart (but we're not reviewing that case here). Should have known better then to move away from the OtterBox. This case is extremely durable. It is a bit more bulky then other cases, but if it is the utmost in protection you are looking for; you can't go wrong here.

I've always been a fan of otter box cases and I have been purchasing then ever since my iPhone 4. Back then they were a little more bulky wide and the gel piece had a weird texture. But I take my hat off to this better and more sleek design. They were able to make the case less noticeable but still keep the functionality. I always think these otter box cases are worth the money. Now even more so since it won't double the size of my phone.

I bought this case because I was using a less expensive and less safe case. Unfortunately, I dropped my phone on concrete and the case shattered and chipped my phone. I was lucky it didn't crack my screen. The next day I went to Best Buy and paid for the Otter Box. It works.
Two days later I dropped my phone and the case wasn't even damaged. This case has saved me a few thousand dollars by avoiding full phone or new screen replacement costs.

Otterbox has long history of making study iPhone cases. Although this case is not slim by any means it does provide great overall protection against dirt and impact. Im serious this thing can withstand a beating (people have dropped these off roofs before). This is THE case for people looking for one of the best protections for the phones however it does come with the price of having a thick and overall unflattering design.
