Poor quality and security on iPhone 12 Otter Box

The otter box for iPhone 12 does not have the protection for your phone that older versions had. We had to return the first case for a replacement because the clasp broke that holds the phone to the base in less than a week. My husband has now lost his phone twice because the clasp on the second case does not hold securely! For a product that costs $60 and for the brand name I am extremely unhappy with the quality of this product. The otter box my husband had on his old iPhone lasted for 5 years with no problems ever! What has happened to your quality Otter Box!
We're sorry to hear that your husband is having troubles with the holster on his Defender Series case! That's certainly unusual, and we'll be sure to let our engineers know about his experience. In the meantime, we have a great warranty, so 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.

I've purchased several Otterbox Defender cases in the past. They have ALL come with a full frame inner casing (including a screen protector). This case does NOT include a screen protector. This is not clear when looking at the product details either. The case is very large and bulky (similar to past Otterbox Defender cases I've purchased in the past). I will probably try to find a case that has a smaller frame since this does not have the built-in screen protector anyway.

Brand response from OtterBox Customer Support
Posted .
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. 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#subCat

Great case but I’m giving it only two stars because the belt clip don’t hold the phone securely. Otterbox claimed they fixed them but the store stocks still have the bad ones
We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with your Defender Series case! It's certainly odd to hear that your belt clip isn't securely holding onto your device, and we'll be sure to let our design team know about your experience. The good news is, we have a great warranty, so give us a ring at 1-855-688-7269 or file a claim online, here: https://www.otterbox.com/en-us/warranty-claim
