    A welders story

    I have always liked the OtterBox phone protectors and have been using them since owning my first iPhone which was a 5 or a 6. I have never damaged my phone since using the OtterBox protectors and I work in a brutal environment for a cell phone. I’m a contract welder and work all over the United States, I’m from San Diego but have worked in California, Arizona, Florida and now in Virginia. My environment is dirty,many times hot and other times freezing. There metal dust from grinding steel to drop hazards. When you work repairing a navy ship and your phone falls, it’s not a soft landing, it’s going to land on hard steel and I have dropped my phone with the OtterBox from a height of 30 feet more than once and my iPhone 8 has survived without a defect. I’ve had this phone for 4 1/2 years. I’ve had it long enough that my battery had worn out but I had a new one installed because my phone worked fine. I normally replace my OtterBox every year because my job is so hard on a phone but the OtterBox gets worn out because of the abuse it gets on my job but my phone has never been damaged. Here’s a photo of my phone on Friday, April /15/2022 at 4 1/2 years old.

    The OtterBox is a well-established company with really good products. The iPhone case that I have is working out so far so good. I haven’t been able to drop the phone a bunch since purchasing it but on the few occasions where it does fall out of my hands I worry a little bit less about the back or the front of the glass being shattered. Sometimes you have to spend good money to protect the products

    I bought this for my rambunctious teenage niece. She is accident-prone. I appreciate the Otterbox quality regarding shock resistance. The only thing I am worried about is dust and/or snow going in the opening near the front and rear cameras. It has a screen covering, unlike some of the Otterboxes where you order a separate screen protector.

    Easy to put on and looks great. I followed the directions on you tube, which helped a lot, since it was my first smart phone. The Otterbox you tube channel has all the instructions. The written instructions have tiny letters and aren't as complete.

      Posted .

      Hey there Thumper,

      We're genuinely sorry to hear that your son's iPhone retained a catastrophic crack while working with this Defender Series Pro. The Defender Series Pro is one of our most rugged designs, and is tested extensively to ensure that it provides high-caliber device protection. That being said, every drop or fall is subject to myriad different variables, some of which are beyond our control, and we cannot always guarantee that our cases will prevent every single risk.

      While our warranty does not extend to the iPhone itself, we would still love to set you up with a brand-new OtterBox so that your son can get a fresh start once the device is repaired. If this sounds like something that you might be interested in, please feel free to call our friendly representatives at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be glad to set up a warranty claim for you.

      Sincerely,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team OtterBox

    Excellent Shock Protection but Bulky

    The case is very well made and fits the phone nicely. The "walls" are quite thick and feel like they would provide excellent protection if you drop your phone. There is a much slimmer case by Otterbox that some might prefer if any of the following bother you: 1) the screen protector is plastic and will probably get scratched up after a while; 2) the port/switch covers do a good job, but make it hard to plug in the power cord or reach the iPhone's mute switch, and 3) when the power cord is plugged in, the fingerprint reader on the iPhone 7/8 does not work (I assume because the stiff port cover being held open bends the plastic screen protector a bit). Overall a nice case with a very good swivel belt clip that can also double as a stand.

    I love the durability and protection that the OtterBox provides for my iPhone. I'm no longer nervous about the slightest "Oopsie" that happens with my phone or even with major incidents with my phone like I was before I purchased the OtterBox Defender Pro Hard Shell Case. I have had many other brands and types of cases for my phones but this is my 2nd OtterBox Defender Series Hard Shell Case and nothing else can compare to the great protection and durability that the OtterBox Defender case provides for my phone.

    I am a fan of the Otterbox brand and at least every year I replace them due to wear and tear. If you dropped it a lot, the plastic cover tends to wear down faster and the tough plastic cover starts losing its shape around a year or so. It can be pricey, but I prefer that extra expense rather than go and get another phone. It is wonderful protector and surely it puts me at ease to know my phone will be safe from drops.
