Customers are delighted by the Defender Series Pro case's excellent protection and secure fit for their Apple iPhones. Many appreciate its ease of use and the quality of the case material, along with the added grip it provides. However, some customers note that it is a bit bulky and lacks a built-in screen protector, and that wireless charging may be affected. The price point was also mentioned as a potential drawback by some users.

Excellent case. Been using OtterBox Defender on all our cell phones and it holds its reputation. Stays on your grip and protects the phone when dropped numerous times. The belt clip is great. When I’m the purse it gives double protection on the phone screen. Also stays in place when clipped on the belt. Can also be used to keep the phone standing vertically when watching or taking pictures.

Tough as nails! Love otterbox! Tough enough to keep a phone protected against and 11 yr old. Prevented any damage from the many drops, falls, etc. Def saved the phone time and time again.

Phone case provides great protection and has good gripping edges making it harder to slip out of one’s hands. Only drawback is the expense. But I was able to buy it on sale.

This is a very well designed product. Excellent protection for my iPhone 12, and it was easy to put together. I also really like the "grip feel" that it provides.

Fits like a glove, the phone does not move. The material is good and does not slip out of my hand. I must say it protects the phone very well. However, please please note the following:
1) With the case on, my wireless charging pad no longer works. I don't have magsafe so I don't know if that still works.
2) Full screen protectors do not work with this case. The corners push up against the protector and creates air bubbles. I bought a screen protector that has a cutout for the notch which is a little smaller and it works with this case.

I love my new OtterBox. Glad I could find one for an Apple iPhone 12.
I also bought a new screen protector. The Best Buy staff replaced my protector and put my new OtterBox on for me. I received Great Customer Service.

I have always used Otterbox Defender cases for my phones and they are built to last. My wife had to recently replace her phone due to a cracked screen after dropping the phone, she did not want to use a case like this because its “too bulky”. After paying for a new IPhone, it was a non-negotiable to put it in an Otterbox Defender and a Zagg Invisible Shield, so far she has dropped the phone a couple of times but with the protection offered by this “bulky” case the phone stays in pristine condition.

The black iPhone 12 Otterbox is a perfect blend of style and protection. Its sleek design complements the phone's aesthetics, while the rugged construction ensures top-notch defense against drops and impacts. It's the ideal choice to safeguard my precious iPhone, providing peace of mind without compromising on looks.

Nice case
Pros: Otter offers good shock protection for your "investment".
Got it on sale for $35, so it was a good deal
Cons: Does not have built-in screen protection. Unlike previous Defenders, you will have to purchase separately.
The screen protector you purchase will lift up on the corners as you put on this case protector
Solution: I recommend you put on the case 1st, then, using the case protector as a line-up guide, carefully install the screen protector (use scotch tape on the back side of the screen protector to act as handles to install - do a trial run before hand to get used to it). MAKE SURE, a MUST, you clean everything very well before you start the process....it cost me $15 to find out this little detail

Love this case! Although it is a bit bulky, I never worry that my phone is not protected. I love that it came with the belt clip, so that I don’t have to shove my phone in my pocket (us women know our pockets are too small for that!) I wouldn’t call this case “pretty”, but I’d rather be protected than have an attractive case. Overall rating, 10/10.

Otter Box Knows iPhones

I owned an Otter Box for my previous iPhone and in the five years I had them together my iPhone survived any number of drops without a scratch. So when I invested in a new $1000+ iPhone I immediately ordered a new Otter Box to go with it. Instructions for marrying the two were pretty weak but once I got them together the tight solid fit gave me the same feel and confidence that I had with my previous iPhone/Otter Box pairing.

this is my 3rd otter box, and they continue to provide good protection on my iPhones, I was worried about the iPhone 12 and the need for a glass screen protector, but the glass protector in combination with this otter box has been good for the 6 months and counting since getting my i12, I use the belt clip and holster a lot and it has held up so far, past otter box belt clips have broken, but this one so far is holding up

The case provides the protection that my phone needs I work in construction. This one is a replacement. The latch that holds the phone in the belt clip wore out. I buy the same clip/ case for every phone I get. I’ve done this for the last 10 years. I like the Otter box cases

Excellent Strong protection.
Actually makes the iphone less likely to slip out of your hand.
The camera lens on the back of the iphone protrude out quite a bit. When setting the phone down on its backside, the case fully protects the camera lens. Without a case the phone does not sit level since it is resting on the lens.
Depth wise it is less than the Otter case I used on my previous Galaxy S6 phone.
Highly recommend!
