Many find that the case fits easily in their pocket and appreciate its ease of use.

    It’s a good, rugged case, only 4 stars because of the price. It’s def worth it, but $60 is a lot. My last other box

    Clunky and overpriced. Feels cheap and bulky and I ended up replacing it shortly after purchasing it.

    I like this case a lot, but the clip stopped working after 3 months of use. Other than the clip not working the case is fully protective.

    I have bought several otter box covers in the past. They are still my favorite. This one is more attractive than my older ones. It feels very sturdy, and I feel comfortable with my 4yo granddaughter playing her games on my phone with this heavy duty cover.

    Otter is my preference product for protecting my iPhones since the 5, 7 and now 12. Long lasting, tough and endured the times I’ve dropped my phone even on concrete surfaces. Worth the price. Just wish there were more colors to choose.

    You can't go wrong with an otterbox defender. I use them for drop protection. I'm not hard on my phone but I am clumsy and tend to drop it. A lot. I wish they were more durable. Mine typically last two years to three years. Just in time to pay my phone off lol

      Sorry to hear the Defender Series Pro case is feeling a bit too substantial for your needs and taste. This model definitely sports our most rugged profile, but we do make a bunch of other ones that are more streamlined and might be more to your liking, such as the Symmetry Series case.

      You can take a closer look at that option right here at Best Buy through the link below, and feel free to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions, and we'll always be happy to chat!

    It protected my phone from many drops and by that I mean no cracks or serious damage, but the plastic innards gave the stainless steel corners of my phone nasty nicks. I would recommend another case that does not have plastic inner shell as the last line of defense against drops.
