    Very satisfied with the case. If you have never owned a case like this, you need to know it comes apart to put the case on. There are no instructions. It's nice that there are covers for the silent switch on the side and the lightning port, but they're also a little annoying.

    Bought the case for my wife’s new iPhone. She always drops her phone so she needs a heavy duty case and this one does the trick. We always buy her Otterbox cases cause they are the best.

    It is absurd that it contains no screen protector. I had to buy one for $69 from Otterbox. What a ripoff. When you buy a phone case you expect to get the whole case

      We appreciate the candid feedback and are sorry that you're feeling pretty frustrated about the lack of an included screen protector with the Defender Series Pro Case. Although an integrated plastic screen protector was a longstanding feature of our Defender Series, we actually moved away from that back in 2017 with the release of the iPhone X in response to consumer interest in either direct access to their device display or a preference for glass screen protectors.

      That said, we'll definitely share your thoughts with our quality and design folks. If we can be of any further Otter assistance, please feel welcome to give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 and we'll always be happy to help.

      Kindly,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team OtterBox

      Hi Starks,

      It's very curious about the packaging stating anything to the contrary because the Defender Pro Series wasn't actually engineered for use with Apple's MagSafe accessories. We'd love to have a look at that, so perhaps you'd be able to reach out with a photo over on otterbox.com.

      In the meantime, if MagSafe is a must for your most recent Apple/Otter experience, feel free to take a look at our Symmetry Series+ with MagSafe right here on bestbuy.com:

    Love the secure feel of the case, but it did not live up to working on my wireless charger. Also, the directions for installing the case on the iPhone are useless. Go to YouTube to be shown how to get your phone into the case.

      Hi there!

      We're sorry to hear about your frustration with your Defender Series Pro! We appreciate your feedback about the included instructions, and we'll be sure to get it passed up the ladder to our design team. While that case is compatible with Qi charging, some chargers will perform better than others, so a different charging base may work better for you. Additionally, we recommend OtterBox Power accessories for the best wireless charging experience. If you run into any other issues with your case, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Customer Service Team here: https://www.otterbox.com/en-us/contact-us

      Best,

      Hello! We are so sorry to hear that you are experiencing sound issues, as we understand how frustrating that can be.

    First day- landlord did not make arrangements for my old fridge to be taken away by the guys. They refused to add it to the order and charge it to his account and then they left. A week later the guys come in(different crew) and it again was not on the order, but he added it. And they took out the old one and brought in the new one. My landlord did pay ahead to have the door handles replaced to the other side of both doors. But this crew did not bring the tools required to do this part of the job. So now I will have to take off work again to schedule the crew to come back again to change the door handles over to the side I need them to be. It shouldn’t take 3 times to get this right

    Love otter box. Little disappointed about the lack of screen coverage on the new models. But I guess it’s due to the change in the screen of the apple phone

    Not the old style defender. It seems to be half of what it was for the same price. Don’t think it will protect the phone that well. I have been using Otter box defenders on all my phones for many many years. I think this will be the last. Not worth the money.
