Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the Defender Series Modular Case's excellent protection and perfect fit for their Samsung Galaxy S9+. Many appreciate its ease of use and the secure belt clip, while some find the added bulk and the lack of a built-in screen protector to be drawbacks. The case's quality and design also receive positive feedback, although some customers mention concerns about the price and compatibility with wireless charging.

    I like Otter products & normally they fit with no issues. I tried putting it on my phone & it would not snap on. It hit 2 buttons in the process and started the rooting process - powered off before it wiped out my phone.

    Otter Box has gone down hill in product satisfaction. Dropped my phone one time from less than a foot from the ground and the case cracked. Now it sits on my desk and Otter Box refuses to replace it.

      Hi Robert,

      We're so sorry to see that your Galaxy S9+ was attacked while under the vigilant protection of this Defender series! We put our cases through an extensive amount of testing to ensure that they provide the best device security possible, but unfortunately, certain situations can be subject to unique risk factors, some of which are beyond our control. Although our warranty is not transferable to the Samsung device itself, our friendly Otters would still very much like to send you a brand-new OtterBox in the event that your current one was also jeopardized during the incident. Please feel welcome to give them a call at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be glad to further assist you with this!

    I've had this otterbox for about a year now, and it's the best protective case I've had. I've dropped my phone enough times to say that it's never been damaged even though I've always thought it'd get a scratch or crack from falling, yet this otterbox has protected my phone so amazingly that my phone is still in great condition.

    This is the third otterbox I have had for my previous three phones. At the time of upgrade to newer phones this product is a good investment to protect your phones. My phones look like new after 12 - 18 months of wear, tear, and many drops. Very durable, does it's job well. No other product in this field performs better.

    All in all, the Otterbox Defender is an average tough/protective case for your samsung galaxy s9 plus. It will protect your iPhone 6 from daily bumps and drops but don't forget to clean it every once in a while.

    Does not fully protect phone

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I just bought my phone 3 weeks ago and purchased the defender case at the same time. The case was put on the phone in the store before I walked out. In other words it has never been out of the case since purchase . But the one area of the phone that is not protected is where the camera/fingerprint scanner is located. I have a big chip on my phone where the fingerprint scanner is located and it is bothering me . How it got there I don't know. But Otterbox should try to find a way to protect this area of the phone instead of leaving it exposed.

      Hey there junk,

      We're genuinely sorry to see that your experience with the Galaxy S9+ Defender series has not quite met expectations! We intentionally decided to leave the fingerprint scanner area exposed in order to provide the best, most uninterrupted access to the scanner possible. If you have any further inquiries on this, please feel more than welcome to give our wonderful Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll gladly do what they can to help out!

      Hi Aj253,

      We're genuinely sorry to hear that your Galaxy S9+ suffered from a fatal accident while under the tough security of the Defender! We test this case extensively to ensure that it meets our high standards of protection, but unfortunately, every drop falls prey to a number of different circumstances and variables, some of which are beyond our control. In the end, we are unable to guarantee that absolutely all exposure to risk is eliminated through the use of our products.

      Although our warranty does not extend to the Samsung device itself, we would still love to set you up with a brand-new OtterBox in the event that your current one was also somehow jeopardized during the incident. If this sounds like an option that you might be interested in, please feel welcome to call our friendly representatives at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be glad to set this up for you!

      Sincerely,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team otterbox
