    Repurchasing after 3 years - Definitely recommend!

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have had this case for 3 years now and my iPhone 12 still looks brand new despite me dropping it outside several times. I can’t find any scratches. With past phones I had to replace shattered or messed up screen protectors, but with this case I’m still using the first one I applied. That’s how protective it is. It’s gone through normal wear and tear, so I’ve ordered a replacement. For example, the inner frame no longer fully locks together and is instead held together by the soft outer shell (which is becoming a bit warped/stretched itself). There are also now some chips and slivers of plastic falling off of the inner frame here and there. I didn’t dock stars for this because I think that’s normal given it’s the only case I’ve been using for 3 years straight and I’ve dropped it on concrete and asphalt plenty of times. The port and mute button covers did fall off a long time ago though, if that’s important to you. I don’t think I was particularly rough with them. Those weren’t super important features to me personally, and it doesn’t look too weird without them.

    Just what I needed

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Works well. Is just what I needed as my other case finally started falling apart/ breaking after 2 years. The store rep said they didnt have any iphone 12 cases, but pointed me in the direction of where they would be if they had any...lo and behold! They had one!! I dont expect the reps to know all the inventory available, but don't say you do not have something if you arent sure.

    So Satisfied! Thank you Best Buy!

    Great! I got an excellent price since it was on sale. It’s very protective and fit perfectly. My only advice to those who want to purchase: don’t make my mistake, follow the directions of putting pieces on one at a time. Don’t put them on at once together. That was a dumb thing I did. So don’t do that. Put the squishy part (the actual case) on first, not at the same time as the hard clip on part. :)

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.

      It's not like a Defender Series case to merely wear out, and we're sorry that yours has struggled so. Fortunately, we've got a great warranty in place that will help restore structural integrity to your Otter experience with a brand-new replacement that is sure to stand the test of time!

      Just send word though the following link, and we'll be glad to help get one in the works!

      Hi there!

      We're sorry to hear about your troubles with your Defender Series Pro! It's odd to hear that your case is causing some audio issues, and we'll be sure to let our design team know about your experience. In the meantime, we'd suggest removing your case and re-installing it to see if that gets it seated a bit better. If that doesn't help, feel free to call us at 1-855-688-7269, and we can get you taken care of.

    Great protective case for iPhone 12. Extremely pleased with fit and rubber outside grip. Had question on belt clip. It clips on to the back and can be used or not used. Ended not using it. It is very compact, fits well into shirt pocket. Highly recommend the defender pro case!

    Best Defender case ever

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is the best Defender case yet for iPhone. This newest version is slimmer on the sides than previous versions which makes it look and feel much much less bulkier than previous versions. You still get that great grip which keeps it from slipping out of your hands. Feels solid and protective like previous versions. Also, I have no problem charging on two different wireless chargers, one being a Samsung stand up charger and the other an off brand lay down charger from Amazon. I would say if you're on the fence about this case, go for it. If you've had Defender cases in the past or first time buyer, you won't be disappointed.
