I purchased this phone case and I’m totally disappointed with the quality of this product. I dropped my cellphone once and the case broke from the edges and I only dropped once. So please don’t waste your money buying this product even though it’s an otter box this product lacks quality and durability.

Just bought this item and already the clip’s edge has broken off, it appears the Otter box is making cheaper products but yet charging a higher mark up.
I will be returning this item to find a better product. Zero stars for Otter Box

I usually have my Otterbox for the life of the phone but this one is already broken. The top of the plastic cover snapped in two places. I went to remove the cover one night to change as we have wireless charging and it was broken in 2 places.

Great to know the Defender Series Pro has your vote of confidence in terms of protection, but we were sorry to hear that your current unit has run into some aesthetic and structural struggles. Fortunately, we've got an awesome warranty to help get things back on track with a brand-new replacement. You can set things in motion using the following link and our friendly Otters will take it from there!

Been using defender for my previous 2 phones but this one did not protect my phone. No camera lens protection. Phone fell from lap while sitting and the floor and camera lens broke even with tempered glass protector.
We're sorry to hear about the damage to your device while it was in a Defender Series case. While our cases are tough, there are still some variables that our engineers are unable to predict. Though we can't extend our warranty to the device itself, we'd be more than happy to get you a replacement case.

Awful Attitude towards an elderly customer.

I had finally talked my elderly mother into a new phone. I took her to Best Buy as I have always had wonderful care. From phones to TVs. This time, I can’t say that. The gentleman, was in a hurry, no patience at all. Got upset with her when she couldn’t remember her passwords. He was just all around nasty attitude. The bad thing is we won’t be back to buy her TV. I’m sure you don’t care but you have lost my business. Apple IS NOT to blame. Phone is what I expected! Your employee, needs a lesson in dealing with all types of customers. Not just young beautiful things!

Broke in less than a month.

I bought the OtterBox to protect my phone. The frame broke in less than a month, so I'm returning it for a refund. Not impressed at all...
Not to discount the frustration that comes with any possession breaking, but for better or worse, the Defender Series Pro case wasn't actually engineered to be indestructible in and of itself so much as it's intended to absorb the brunt of any impacts that might otherwise compromise one's device.
As long as your iPhone has emerged from any and all drops unscathed, we'll call it a win and get straight to the part where we gladly help get you set up with a brand-new warranty replacement to make sure the protection continues in full force! If you haven't already returned the item, please do feel welcome to give our handy Otters a quick call at 1-855-688-7269 or click on over to our online support and we'll be more than happy to help get this all fixed up in no time!

Case is protective but very thick and bulky. Makes charging with a wire difficult and charging on a pad almost impossible.

Hi there!
We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with your Defender Series Pro! We appreciate your feedback about the size of your case, and we'll be sure to let our engineers know about your experience. Keep in mind, that Defender Series is our most rugged case option, so it'll be a bit more robust than some of our other case offerings. While that case is compatible with Qi charging, we do suggest removing the PopTop to improve charging functionality. Additionally, we recommend OtterBox Power accessories for best wireless charging experience, though there are plenty of non-OtterBox charging pads that perform well with our cases. If you're still having trouble removing that PopTop, feel free to call us at 1-855-688-7269, and we can get you helped out.
