    I really like the otter box but the belt clip is horrible. If you don’t get it in perfectly it will fall out. Other than that I love the otter box.

      Hi Bummy,

      We're sorry to hear the holster hasn't been working out for you. To provide a premium carrying experience, the belt clip has a precise fit to ensure your device won't fall out. We suggest making sure your iPhone is secured in the holster before attaching it. If you need further assistance with your belt clip, please call us at 1-855-688-7269.

      Cheers,

    Great case but with iPhone max pro the case may lift your protective screen. Looks like the mold is oversized and may require you to trim the corners. Sounds crazy but got one at Verizon store and returned it bought this one and it only required a slight adjustment. Otter box needs to resize this case to fit better around a screen protector.

      Hi there!

      We're sorry to hear about your troubles with your Defender Series Pro! It's certainly odd to hear that your case is blocking your speakers and microphone. We'd recommend removing your case and reinstalling it to see if that helps get things lined up a bit better.

      Hi there!

      We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with that new Defender Series screenless design. After exhaustive design testing, our engineers determined that the best way to interact with the advanced screen of your display was without the addition of a built-in screen protector. That being said, our tests have shown that this case provides the same level of drop protection as past Defender Series cases. If you end up running into any issues with your case, we have a great warranty, so we're more than happy to get you taken care of with a replacement OtterBox.

      Hi there!

      We're glad to hear that you're happy with the protection provided by your Defender Series Pro, but we're bummed to hear that you're having trouble with wireless charging! While that case is designed to be compatible with Qi charging, some charging pads tend to perform better with our cases than others. Additionally, we've seen the best charging experience with OtterBox Power options.

    I would give this a zero if that was possible. The product says its for Apple iPhone Pro Max but what they don't tell you is that you can not do wireless charging with this phone case. You need to purchase the OtterBox charger. Extremely devious. Good job OtterBox...you lost a customer for life!!!

      Hi, Kelly!

      We're sorry to hear about your frustration with your Defender Series Pro! While using an OtterBox branded charger will lead to the best charging experience with this case, you can definitely use other wireless charging bases. Keep in mind, if you're using non-OtterBox chargers, we do recommend using pads that allow you to charge in the flat orientation. If you run into any other issues with your case, please don't hesitate to reach out to our helpful Customer Service Team here: https://www.otterbox.com/en-us/contact-us

      We're sorry to hear the Berry Potion (Raspberry Wine/Boysenberry) colorway of the Defender Series Case wasn't quite what you were expecting, Phil.


      Although we try and make sure accurate images are posted online, the vast number of different device screens and their subsequent settings make for quite the challenge when it comes to making sure everyone is seeing the same thing. Perhaps one of the other colors we offer for this specific case would be more to your liking? Feel free to take a closer look at those options right here at Best Buy or over on the official OtterBox website, and let us know if we can be of any further assistance and we'll always be happy to help!

    I bought this to protect my new iPhone 12 Pro Max. Within six weeks I dropped the phone off the couch onto the carpet and the screen was shattered. So if it’s trying to protect that, It didn’t do a good job at all since this is the first phone I’ve ever broken the screen on, ever.
