      Hi there!

      We're sorry to hear that your Defender Series Pro has left you a little disappointed! It's odd to hear that your case isn't fitting well, and we'll be sure to let our design team know about your experience. If you give us a call at 1-855-688-7269, we'd be more than happy to get you taken care of with a replacement case. As for the wireless charging, that case is compatible with Qi charging, though 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.

      Hey there!

      We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with your Defender Series Pro! After exhaustive design testing, our engineers determined that the best way to interact with the advanced screen of your display was without the addition of a built-in screen protector. That being said, our tests have shown that this case provides the same level of drop protection as past Defender Series cases. Additionally, that case is totally compatible with Amplify and Alpha Glass if you're looking to add a level of protection never available with our older Defender Series design. If you run into any 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

      Hi, Fred!

      We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with your Commuter Series case! While that case is compatible with Qi charging pads, it is not designed for optimal functionality with MagSafe accessories. That being said, we have a sizeable lineup of OtterBox cases that we designed specifically to interact with Apple's MagSafe ecosystem.

    This case is fantastic! It offers outstanding protection for my iPhone 13 mini. I have been using OtterBox Defender cases for years. I love how OtterBox has made them thinner and sleeker over the years, while still ensuring top-notch protection. 10/10.

    Love these cases. Prices over the years have gone up, while included features have disappeared. Have to pay $40+ for an additional screen protector?! Not cool.
