      Hi there!

      We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with your recent Defender Series purchase! If you're purchasing your case in-store, be sure you're choosing the option labeled iPhone 2021 X-Large to ensure you're getting the correct case for your iPhone 13 Pro Max. Keep in mind, while the iPhone 13 Pro Max case will fit the iPhone 12 Pro Max, the cases made for the iPhone 12 Pro Max will not be forward compatible with the newer device. If you have any questions about this, please don't hesitate to reach out to our helpful Customer Service Team at 1-855-688-7269, and we can get you helped out.

    This is a horrible product. The whole purpose of an OtterBox is to have 360° protection and their new design comes with no screen protection. Don’t waste your money or make sure you buy a glass protector.

      Hey, Scotty!

      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. That being said, that case is totally compatible with Amplify and Alpha Glass if you're looking to add an extra level of protection to your device. For any additional help, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Customer Service Team here: https://www.otterbox.com/en-us/contact-us

      That's a peculiar dynamic, as our cases shouldn't be interfering with any signal. That said, please feel welcome to give our friendly Otters a quick call at 1-855-688-7269 so we can get a better understanding of the situation and see if there is anything that can be done to help.

      Hi there,

      We're so sorry your iPhone 12 Pro Max suffered from such damage under the watch of this Defender Pro Series case. We put forth every effort to avoid such disheartening outcomes, but every drop is subject to a multitude of variables, many out of our control. While we can't help with any repairs to your Apple device, we would love to replace your holster. Please feel free to touch base with us on our OtterBox Support page and we'd be happy to help.

      Sincerely,

      We're so sorry this Defender Series case didn't work out for you. This is strange because this case was designed to fit the iPhone 12 Pro Max seamlessly. Were you shopping for the iPhone 12 Pro Max or do you have another model phone? We'd recommend reaching out to BestBuy in regards to a return or exchange. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to touch base with our Customer Service Team at (855) 688-7269 and we'll dive in with the assist!

      Hey, Mike!

      We're sorry to hear that you're not loving your Defender Series Pro case! While that case is compatible with Qi charging pads, it is not designed for optimal functionality with MagSafe accessories. Keep in mind, this case will perform best with OtterBox branded wireless chargers. That being said, we have a sizeable lineup of OtterBox cases that we designed specifically to interact with Apple's MagSafe ecosystem and that have been through our full gauntlet of tests to ensure they will still offer the protection OtterBox is known for. Check those out at Best Buy, Apple, or our website!

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

    Honestly this is a great case. I was skeptical and wasn't sure about it but the price cut from online is actually a great deal. It turns out that yes, this case adds bulk, but it's not as bad as it used to be. Had this same case for my XS Max, and it's way bigger then this case and that's nice to see improvement on size. Don't get me wrong it doesn't feel any less sturdy though. I also like how the sides are flattened off which allows you to use the gestures on ur phone easier. The held clip thing is also a nice addition. Overall, a great case and very protective and if you can get it for the deal I got it for, ($38.00 roughly) then go for it!

    Slimmest “Defender” Case EVER!!!

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

    I’ve had an OtterBox defender series case for the past four iPhones I’ve had and they’ve all been phenomenal. My only gripe, and I’m assuming most people have it as well is how bulky it was. Seems like this year they re-designed the case and it’s now extremely slim, which I love. I work in the law-enforcement field and absolutely trust this case to protect my very expensive phone!

    This case is wayyyyy thinner than what I’m use to. I’ve been an otterbox fan since I had my iPhone 5. & each time I upgrade my phone I get an otterbox. however, this otterbox is way thinner than any other I’ve had. I compared it to my daughters 11 case.... it’s still a very cute protective case. I have it in black , the pink & purple one & also the blue.

    I bought the Otterbox Defender case when I received the iPhone 12 Pro Max. I’ve used Otterbox for years. I was pleasantly surprised by the thinness of this case. It doesn’t feel big and bulky like the other ones I’ve used in the past. I feel confident the case along with a screen protector will provide the protection I need.
