      Hi Beacon11,

      We apologize this case wasn't a good fit for your phone! This unit was specifically engineered to fit the Galaxy S7, and unfortunately is not considered compatible with the Galaxy J7 Sky Pro. We don't make a case for your phone currently, but we'll gladly pass your feedback to our product design team for future consideration. In the meantime, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 and we'd be happy to chat!

      Warmly,

      Hi csmith1560,

      We’re sorry that the Defender case is a tad too bulky for your comfort level. Perhaps you would be more interested in our Commuter or Symmetry case as they are both slimmer than the Defender. Check out the links below for more information on those OtterBox cases.

      Hi Lizl,

      We are sorry that this Defender case is letting you down. Although it should put up a better fight against dirt, water is a little trickier and the case is not designed to be waterproof. Please feel free to give our helpful Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269, and we will be happy to assist with the dirt infiltration in any way that we can!

      Hey there,

      Sorry to hear that this Defender series is just a little too bulky for your comfort level! If you're searching for device protection in a slimmer style, we would recommend looking at our Commuter series. The Commuter is sleeker than the Defender, but is still focused on keeping your Galaxy S7 safe from intense drops. Please feel free to check it out via the link below, and call our Otter experts at 1-855-688-7269 with any further inquiries!

      Hi Nick,

      As much as we like to hear that this Defender series is protecting your Galaxy S7 during dangerous drops, we apologize that dust has been meddling with the case defenses! Typically, the rugged nature of the case seals out any debris, so our Otter experts would love to take a closer look to solve this puzzle. Please don't hesitate to call them at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll help with some troubleshooting or even a warranty replacement, if that's what it takes to get you back to the ultimate protection!
