Customers are saying

Customers frequently mention the excellent protection and ease of use offered by the Defender Series Pro Case. Many appreciate the case's good fit and quality, along with its attractive colors and inclusion of a belt clip. However, some find the case bulky and heavy, and the lack of a screen protector is a common complaint. The installation process is also mentioned as a potential point of difficulty for some users.

    I thought that this was a waterproof case being the Defender Series Pro. I am very disappointed that for the price I paid that it is not waterproof. I am looking at the Lifelock series because I know they work and are cost less than the Otterbox

      Hi there.

      We're sorry to hear about any disappointment with your Defender Series Pro case. None of our cases are currently waterproof. We try to ensure our case descriptions accurately inform you about the features of the case, so we'll be sure to pass your feedback about the confusion passed up the ladder.

      Best,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team OtterBox

    The description on the Best Buy website is misleading. The front of the case is open, not enclosed. It is a good case otherwise. I would recommend it if you don't want the front covered. It is a solid case and easy to install.

    I don’t like that it doesn’t protect the screen, I have always gotten the Otterbox Defender series cases and they’ve always had a screen protector or cover before.

      Hi there!

      We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with the design of this new Screenless Edition Defender Series case. After extensive testing, our engineers determined that the best way to interact with the screen of this device 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 its predecessors did. Additionally, the Defender Series is now compatible with Amplify and Alpha Glass to leave your phone protected in a way no Defender Series of the past could! Give us a ring at 1-855-688-7269 if you'd like to learn more about those screen protection options.

      Best,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team OtterBox

    Ibgotnthis screen protector because the online description said this one came with a screen protector as well. But there. Was no screen protector with this one. Disappointed and wasted time to go pick up the item and then also had to make a second trip to return it. Bought a separate screen protector from online and also awesome Spigen case with kick stand. All for less than the cost of this screen protector.

    My husband recently replaced his iPhone 6 with an iiphone XR (after an unfortunate accident). He purchased this Otterbox to avoid future damage. We have always used holster phone cases with a front and back - you can find relatively inexpensive ones on Amazon. He decided however, to give this pricey Otterbox a try. He is already regretting this choice...it just makes an already larger phone too clunky. We'll be replacing this with our inexpensive Amazon alternative in the near future.

      Hi Manelady,

      We apologize that this Defender Series Pro ended up being just too cumbersome for your comfort level! This case is specifically designed with multiple layers in order to ensure the best phone protection possible. While the thicker style might initially feel a little larger than life, you can rest assured that your husband’s phone should stay safe and secure for a long time to come!

      That being said, if you’re looking for something that offers sleeker security, we would recommend our Symmetry series. The Symmetry does not include a belt clip holster, but it does provide premium protection in a slimmer style. Feel free to check it out via the link below, and give our helpful Otters a ring at 1-855-688-7269 with any further questions!

      Hi Mike,

      We apologize this Defender Series Pro case left you looking for more! We decided to fore-go the built-in screen protector to allow clear-cut, direct access to the curved display. Although we understand how this may feel vulnerable, rest assured, we're confident this case should safeguard your investment for a long time to come.

      If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 and we'd be happy to chat!

      Sincerely,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team OtterBox
