      Hi there!

      We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with your Defender Series Pro! 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. If you're looking for something a bit sleeker, we'd suggest checking out our Symmetry Series case here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/otterbox-symmetry-series-case-for-apple-iphone-7-8-and-se-2nd-generation-black/6028008.p?skuId=6028008

    Haven’t even had it for a month and my Touch ID doesn’t work with the case on it anymore, I’ve recalibrated it and cleaned it but still nothing. I’m upset, spent $50 for it not to work anymore. As I use Touch ID for everything.

    Not as good as my previous three Otter cases. The on button is hard to press as well as to turn it off. It wasn’t easy to put it together. You get what you pad for. I paid $25 now is $15.

    I just got the iPhone SE (2022), and I go running and hiking with my phone so wanted something that would protect it. I had an Otterbox Defender for my last phone (iPhone 5S), and it kept it safe. This one seems less chunky but still very solid.

    Don’t like it. Where the finger print is suppose to go is to thick making it difficult to read and swipe up. Called otter box and they can’t replace it with nothing better. I’m going to return it.

      Sorry to hear you've had some trouble swiping up from the bottom of your iPhone's display while using the Defender Series Case to help keep it safe from harm. Maybe check out our streamlined Symmetry Series Case right here at Best Buy as a potential alternative. Other than at the outer edges, it doesn't cover the touchscreen in the same way, which should alleviate the issue you’ve experienced.

    As always received it quick form Best Buy. This is a durable and well constructed case. It fits my Iphone 8 perfectly and protects it from the outside elements. The case has a good feel and appears to be able to last some time. So far so good.

      Hi, Charley.

      We're sorry to hear about the damage to your daughter's phone while it was in her Defender Series Pro case. While our cases are designed to greatly reduce the risk of damage to the device, there are still some variables that can't be predicted. Though we can't extend our warranty to the phone itself, we'd be more than happy to get your daughter's case replaced. Feel free to contact our Customer Service Team here: https://www.otterbox.com/en-us/support

    Big Improvement

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

    I bought this case because I often drop my phone from my pants pocket onto the hard floor of my office. I broke 3 screens and chipped off pieces from my previous case within one year. So far, I've dropped this one twice and it's undamaged! My one criticism is that I needed to keep my old screen on under this case. I couldn't remove screen that this case came with and now I have to press very hard to get the phone keys to respond.
