I love this Otter Box Defender Series case! It is so easy to put together and I do not have to worry about putting a screen protector on it because it has it's own screen cover with absolutely NO issues about touch screen contact. I love this case!

This case is durable and strong. I like the way this Otterbox has a smooth surface,making it easier to slide in and out of your purse or pocket.Great all around protection for your phone!!!

I've been looking for the best phone protection and found it, this case is the best, protects phone and screen, exactly what I needed. Yes, phone looks big but for me protection is priority. Can recommend it to everyone, great product, worth the price.

I'm rough on phones,dropped this one a couple of times and no damage.

I bought this as a gift and it seems like a good product.

Although I was hesitant in switching from my iPhone 4s and having to go thru a small learning curve, 2 weeks later I'm very happy & comfortable with the S4. The larger screen & increased resolution make it easier for me to read all text - emails, attachments, web content, etc. I also like the file folder system that allows me to better organize PDF's, Word docs & Excel documents that come as attachments in emails. What came as a surprise was the need to download some apps to do what the iPhone does off the shelf. Specifically, you'll need to download a wave reader app to listen to voicemails that come in thru your email. If you like the voicemail setup of the iPhone that lets you readily select which voicemail you want to listen to, you'll need to either pay Verizon $2.99/mo or download an app (such as youmail - which works nicely for free). If you have iTunes songs, you'll need to convert to be compatible with the S4. This may seem like a lot of negative, but you'll quickly work thru it and likely not look back. The S4 just seems to provide more customizable features and it only cost me $1 to convert at the time of a Verizon sale. Lastly, the battery life is better than my old iPhone 4S. I'm still a big fan of Apple products. You just need consider some of these pros & cons for yourself to see which is best for you.

This protects your phone real good & has soft runnber inside then hard rubber ouside it also comes with a clip on case that will hold ur phone so well it will not drop or fall out the clip case very well made, well worth the price

This is a very good case. I drop my phone often and it has not broken.

My family has had a good experience w/ the Otter Box line of cases in the past, so we bought this one when we got new Galaxy S4 phones. I like the color, and the case itself is very durable. My wife has dropped her new phone multiple times, and spilled stuff on it already. The case protected it! The case is fairly expensive, I haven't managed to find it on sale yet.

It's an otterbox.... no other explanation needed! Top of the line

This is my fourth Otter Box product. They fit well to the product you are protecting and it does a great job of doing so. Don't get pink, it looks good at first but gets dirty quickly.

The Samsung 4s is the best phone on the market and I enjoy the watch

After purchasing a new Galaxy S-4 smart phone, I bought a knock-off case that featured dual-protection zones (rigid plastic outer shell over a soft rubber inner sleeve). The case was inexpensive, black and available. But over time, I began to worry that my phone was not protected as well as my jeans pocket environment demands. I had heard of the OtterBox Defender series and decided to give the case a try. I was able to rigorously examine the case in the store before I purchased it, and I bought it after being suitably impressed. The first thing I noticed was that the case is divided into four parts: The shell / face cover with belt clip; the hard rubber outer shell; the rigid plastic inner shell; and the screen protector. Face Cover w/ Belt Clip. This removeable piece of the case is basically bullet-proof: It completely covers and protects the glass screen of your S-4 and attaches securely to the case body with 6 tabs. It also features a non-removeable belt clip which rotates into four positions. The good: It is quite sturdy. The bad: I have no use for a belt clip - so this part of the case is a waste for me unless I choose to break the belt clip off. You may also use the face cover and belt clip as a convenient kick-stand if you attach it to the rear. Hard Rubber Exterior Shell. I think this rubber was manufactured by Superman. It is extremely hard and quite thick - which is great if you accidentally drop your phone. It also looks great, and is embossed with the OtterBox logo. The cutouts are precisely placed, and the fit is incredible. It is plasticised a bit, so it doesn't appear to catch and gather lint as most rubber is wont to do. There are flaps which cover each large orfice of the phone - only the IR blaster, cameras, LED flash, speaker, light sensors, home button and microphone are not covered by the case. The AUX and micro USB ports are covered by flaps of rubber which are not hinged. They snug securely into the case when closed, and open easily when you need them to. Due to their excellent design, the flaps remain closed until pried opened again. I suspect that these will be the only portions of the case to break under heavy use or abuse. Since your volume and On/Off switch are also covered by the case, the rubber which works in their stead is raised and channeled to depress easily, allowing you to activate the buttons as you normally would. Unfortunately or perhaps fortunately as your situation dictates, the rubber buttons are extremely difficult to depress. This is good if the phone is in your pocket or purse, and you don't want it unintentionally activated. This is not so good if you have soft fingers - the OtterBox case buttons definitely offer maximum resistance to pressing. Rigid Plastic Inner Shell w/ Screen Protector. The heart of the OtterBox Defender series system is its inner shell and screen protector. This piece is delivered in two sections: Front and Back. The back of the shell features a soft, thin padding insert which serves to cushion your phone from impacts. The front of the shell features a clear, plastic, removeable screen protector of medium thickness which is glued to the frame. The two halves fit together over your phone perfectly, and attach to one another by way of small tabs. If you need to remove the phone from the case quite often, it is conceivable that these tabs might break - but even if they did the case would continue to serve its function, as the rigid inner shell would be held in place by the rubber outer shell. The screen protector is an added bonus which may be easily removed, should you desire it gone. It has one cutout for the home button, but otherwise covers the entire screen of the phone. Operation of the phone with the screen protector in place is unremarkable, save for an annoying squeak if you utilize a stylus to navigate your phone. The screen's beauty is not occluded by the plastic, which is worth noting. It also does a remarkable job of hiding fingerprints. The system fits together by putting the rigid shell over your phone, and then fitting the outer rubber layer over the inner layer, which secures by channels which run along the periphery of the system. Once assembled, fit and finish are first rate - seams are very tight and it isn't always a simple matter to get the case open again. This case is not vapor-proof, waterproof or dustproof - but it is rather resistant to all of the above, and it will prevent most accidental water spills and dust from ruining your device. It also allows the phone to breathe a bit, which should prevent it from dying a premature death from heat. The indicator lights are visible, but you may have to angle the phone a bit to see them as the case adds a bit of bulk to these areas. The front of the case is beveled as it approaches the screen and at the rear of the case around the camera lens and speaker port - this gives the screen an extra milimeter of protection should you impact the phone on an unforgiving surface. When you put it all together over your phone, the OtterBox Defender series delivers a virtuostic and impressive performance. The buttons are harder to press, and there is a bit of bulk added to your phone, but consider what you are getting: Top of the line protection for your expensive hardware, a three year warranty for the case, and peace of mind that is well worth the entry fee. - Chipper F.

The protection is excellent. The case is very durable and strong.

The clip broke fairly quickly, but Otterbox warranty isshipping a rreplacement so I guess it's ok. A bit more hassle than I like though.

It may may not look great but it holds up and protects the phone.

I use the clasp all day and there are no signs of wear and tear.

After purchasing our new S4's, we wanted to make sure nothing would damage them under normal to abnormal conditions and the otterbox proved to be the protection we needed. Our phones stay in great condition thanks to the otterbox!

Came quickly with free shipping!!! What more can I say!!!!
