I like this slim down version of the Defender. I have used their Defender cases for years but wished they could find a way to vut down on the bulk and the have with this model. Still a bit bulky in the pocket but no where near as bad as before. You're going to have a tough time breaking your phone in this case, which is exactly why I buy them. If I have a gripe it's that I really have to dig deep to get to the mute switch. Other than that is a very good case and when you can get it on sale, it's a no brainer.

I've used Otterbox cases for years. I have never had a damaged phone, despite multiple drops. The case for the iPhone 12 disappoints me compared to others. It did not include a protective cover for the screen - I had to buy one separately. Also, it does not feel as secure when clipped into the holster. Black was the only color choice - I was used to many more options from Otterbox.
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 your holster continues to give you issues, 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.
Best, OtterBox Customer Service Team

Great case as all the otter box defender series are, just wish it was a little bit bulkier (peace of mind knowing it’s super safe!)

This is my second Otter Box. 1st one lasted 7 yrs. Never had a scratch, crack or breakage.
Bought new iPhone & purchased 2nd Otter Box. Other protector brands do not protect your iPhone like Otter!!

Is there any other way to carry your phone on your belt and protect the value of your most hated monthly bill. No!!! Who needs one of those expensive insurance plans? Otter box has been my insurance plan for 10 years now and I have never broke a phone even after thousands of drops not a scratch. So year get a otterbox yo!!

Fantastic phone case. I drop my iPhone relatively frequently so I wanted the best possible protection. My iPhone has been fine since I got this case and dropped at least 100 times.

Great product, durable. I’ve owned 4 iPhones, for each phone I’ve always purchased the otter box for protection of my devices. This product helps retain the value of the phone. When trading in my phones I always receive to highest trade-in value because the phone in good condition due to the protection of the otterbox

Whenever I buy a new phone I always buy an otter box. Its great protection for my investment in a phone. I think their quality has went down though as usually a year to 14 months in I have to replace it to keep the drop strength

The Otter Box Defender does what it’s supposed to do: Protect your phone from the day to day hazards anyone might encounter. It’s tough enough to stand up to my daily routine as a Nurse and as a homeowner. Don’t expect your phone to survive a drop in the lake or having someone run over your phone in their SUV. But it projects your phone very adequately from butter fingers drops, falls out of pockets or bags, and the occasional falls into puddles.

THE BEST!! protection for any iPhone. Have used OtterBox Defender on every iPhone I’ve had. Guess that’s over at least three or four models. Only down side was lint would get between clear plastic of the case and actual iPhone screen. The one I just purchased doesn’t have the clear plastic so problem solved.

This is my second Otter Box for the IPhone 12 Pro. This seems to have been updated compared to the one I bought a year or so ago. There was nothing really wrong with my old one except the rubber was wearing and fitting loose around the camera corner.

I love the color of my iPhone cover! Plus it is super strong and has protected my phone from accidental drops. There is no other phone cover I’d choose to protect my expensive investment!
I would recommend this to a friend

Our family has had serval phones, androids and iphones over the years. The best case for them is any of the Otter boxes. Over the years as we’ve dropped our phones we’ve never had them damaged because of the OtterBox. I highly recommend these to everyone as our opinion is they are the best on the market.

Great protection for iPhone 12. I really like the belt clip, can wear it through all seasons and have it readily available to use. I’ve always had good experience with OtterBox phone protection and feel it’s worth the cost.
