    It's an Otter Box

    It's an Otter Box, it's not like it comes with many options or features. If you have a smartphone you've more than likely had some version of one at some point in time. I prefer the one's that have a belt clip that way when I am working and my phone rings i don't have to dig it out of my pocket. I deducted a half star because they are expensive and the design hasn't changed much since the beginning. The other half star was deducted because it seems like it doesn't clip all the way in and falls out of the clip a couple times a week. Other than that Otter Box has been protecting my phones for many years.

    This case fits like a glove, yet is not too bulky, still fits in jeans and coat pockets. The belt clip comes in handy too.

    This is my 4th - 5th time buying, securing my cell phone with OTTERBOX DEFENDER & I am still greatly satisfied with the protection it provides while still not making it a brick phone to carry. I even more so like the new tabs on the hard shell inner portion making it easier to remove from phone for cleaning / other matters.

    Feels sturdy. Give you a nice grip. Can we please start getting wrist strap connections on these phone cases? I would feel 10x better filming from high locations with a wrist strap. And there's no screen included. They could at least include some plastic screen protectors for this top of the line price. I buy top of the line stuff because they usually included more than the cheaper products. The phone case doesn't seem any different from others and they used to include so much more.

    Fits great and looks good. The one thing that I see a lot of people complaining about is the lack of a plastic screen that came with the older versions of the Defender cases. Honestly it doesn't really bother me. I don't believe the cover really protected my screen and ended up just being a trap for dust and other issues. The case feels sturdy and I think it'll last a long time.

    I just purchased the Samsung galaxy S21 and after the sticker shock of the phone was gone, I knew that I couldn't and I would not walk out of the store without the best protection on this phone. I have always used otter box to provide great protection for my devices. I am Retired now and probably don't need the protection for my phone that I did when I was a journeyman lineman climbing poles and steel towers, but I was involved in a pretty serious car accident a couple of years ago, and my phone survived without a scratch because of the otter box defender it was in. I had to be cut out of the truck, but my phone was ok. Lol

    I used to get OtterBox all the time for my phones. I had skipped Otterbox for my last few cases because as I had moved to wireless charging I saw friends that had trouble charging through a thicker case. The reviews for this case said it worked fine for wireless charging so I gave it a shot and I'm glad I did. The look is rugged and masculine which is not the case for every case I've seen. It is very rugged and I have a lot of confidence that it will protect my phone well if I do break it or have an accident. I also like that there is an edge that is raised noticeably higher than the screen so I don't feel like there is a risk of scratching, damaging or getting the screen dirty if I place my phone screen down. I have gotten in the bad habit of opening and closing the cover for the charging port as a type of fidget toy, but it hasn't broken off yet and seems to be taking the abuse really well. I would recommend this case to anyone and now I just need to find a screen protector that I really like.
