    This purchase was a gift for my daughter's new phone. She loves the color and the toughness. The one and only complaint is it is a heavy case.

    I had the commuter series OtterBox for my S5 and the plastics were thin around the charging port and head phone jack that they broke just from daily use. My wife got me this case and it's a beast. It makes the phone rather large, but that isn't a problem with the included belt clip. I've dropped my phone a hundred times in the past year and it's been fine each time.

    Case adds a lot of protection

    The case feels like it adds a lot of protection to the phone without adding too much bulk. -Easy installation: took only about a minute to put into the case, including the time it took to open the packaging. If you choose to use the screen protector your install time will likely be a bit longer. -Ergonomics: Holding my phone became much more comfortable once I slipped it into the case. -Protection: not only does the Otterbox's rubbery exterior make dropping the phone less likely, but it also protects it if you do end up dropping it.

    Best phone case on the market

    This phone case is unparalleled. It is my go to phone case. I've tried others, but they all break eventually. They come with a lifetime warranty. If any part of an Otter Box breaks they will send a replacement. I love it so much it is the only one I purchase for any phone I buy!

    I have always used Otter Box ever since I discovered how durable and dependable it is. I work at a job where phones can get beat on very easily and with the Otter Box I have no worried. Prior to this new one I had a Galaxy 3s and kept it encased in an Otter Box, when I finally upgraded my phone was still in mint condition as if I had just bought it.

    This case offers excellent protection. The phone has survived a few drops to the ground from 2-3 feet without a mark. The holster grabs the phone securely. It would be a nice touch if the case had a retractable stand.

    This otterbox is a good case, had a very good design which caught my eye to buy it in the first place! Very durable, strong, sturdy, and protects the phone. Unfortunately I have a galaxy s5 which is a great phone! The otterbox does make it quite heavier, and very bulky! It is also very hard to get off if needing to get to the memory or sim card. I didn't like this at all! It also seemed to affect my bluetooth and wifi connectivity! Not bad but noticeable! I did end up getting another case that is smaller and easier to come off! I would recommend this to someone who works in a factory, or construction site but as for me working in the hospitality field, and the phone already being pretty protective itself the otterbox is not needed!

    I love this case. It's pretty, functional, and reasonably priced for the features. Will definitely not have an expensive phone without one of these cases! I had it stepped on by a full grown man with combat boots and it wasn't even phased. Highly recommend these!

    Great Case and Holster Clip poor Screen Protector.

    I highly recomend the protective case and holster clip. Both do everything as advertised. The screen protector is attached to the case framework and is impossible to get rid of air bubbles. The first impression you get after installing the case on your smartphone, a Samdung Galaxy S5 in my case, is that the screen looks terrible. I removed the screen and added a Zagg Glass Screen Protector which fits perfectly and along with the case gives the phone an overall profeesional look.

    This is my 2nd otterbox case. It protects my phone so well that I am never worried when I accidentally drop my phone. It does bulk up the size of the phone but I feel it's well worth the trade off. The built in clear protective face also means I don't have to buy screen protectors.

    Needed a new OtterBox case for my phone since my old one was all wore out. I honestly didn't realize they carried this color until I saw it at my local Best Buy. I purchased it and have been very satisfied with it to be quite frank. Will surely buy again once this one wears out.

    I love this phone case it was recommended by a sales associate her name is Pamela in the riverhead store in best buy mobile. I wanted something durable for my phone where if I dropped it or were rough with it that it didn't break or fall apart. Definitely recommend this case for everyone.

    There are 4 Samsung galaxy S5s being used in my house & we all have this otter box in different colors to protect them. It works really well & feels good in your hands. 2 of these phones are used by 11 & 13 year old boys & I can comfortably say that the otter box is sturdy!
