Otter Box iPhone Case

I sometimes have the dropsies. And this Otter Box Case does a great job of protecting my iPhone. It has saved the screen from breaking on more than one occasion when I have dropped my phone on a concrete floor.
It also provides me with a much better grip on my phone than is possible with just the bare phone itself.
The only thing I might change about it would be to eliminate the clip on feature. I don’t happen to use the clip. But others may. For them, it would be a bonus.
Overall though, I love it.

This product is so good that I have purchased it three times for the same phone. I know that sounds like I'm being sarcastic, but I don't expect a rubber phone case that gets constant use, with flippable components, to stay in mint condition. The first replacement was more esthetic, so I wouldn't look like a scrub to chicks at the gym or the brothel. The second component was because the side button did something, and I couldn't screenshot my restaurant espionage without the phone case off. But both issues were due to a lot of use. I have had this phone for 4 years, and it is the last iPhone model that has the home button. And I want the home button. So I keep buying this product in order to keep my phone protected. Otherwise, I will have to pay an overpriced amount for a phone that doesn't have the home button---and they say to dream big, so I am sticking with the phone that I want, no matter how many OtterBox phone cases I need to buy

The Otter Box is a fabulous protection for my iPhone. It fits well, and isn't bulky but totally protective. There are no gaps, it creates a very snug fit. I appreciate the flap that covers the female connection for the charger. Not only for the charger but also for the accessories for the iPhone.

More durable and stronger version

The case feels stronger and more durable than previous Otterboxes. It feels like it is made out of a harder rubber rather than the soft rubber of previous versions. I like this version better. It does not feel like it will stretch out and become loose over time like my previous Otterboxes. I’ve dropped my phone a few times and no cracks or breaks. It still has good grip so it won’t slip out of your hands or pockets. As always, very pleased with this brand. There is a thin film of plastic that covers the home button. I have not had any problems with it reading my fingerprint. Of course over time, this will become worn and torn and then it’s like previous versions without the film but still functional as a whole. I like it because you can wipe your phone down and not worry about water getting in between the case and the phone. Because the case is made of a harder, sturdier rubber, it is a title difficult to take the case off. However, because it is easy to clean and water doesn’t get into the phone, there is no need to take the case off.

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.

This case offers a secure fit, and protects your phone against nature's elements and any accidental drops. As a plus, it has a built in screen protector. This is my third OtterBox Defender case for an iPhone, and I've never been disappointed.

Fit my wife's new SE 2nd gen. perfectly, and she really likes the grip that the outer case texture provides. Thinner profile than the older version for the original SE. Looking forward to many years of good protection (just like the old model).

Great protection for the cell phone. It protects against drops as well water. I also like the fact that the screen protector does not stick on. This avoids the air bubbles. The one down side is that it does make the phone larger as it is not a thin case.

It does the job as intended. Feels comfortable in my hand. Too bulky to fit in my wallet as before but it provides greater protection for my phone. It wins in benefits versus risks.

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 bought this iPhone case when purchasing a new iPhone. It fits the Iphone SE 2020 better than any phone case has for past phones and the material seems sturdier than older phone cases. The only negative is that The button covers are a bit stiff and require more force to use them.
Overall a very good protection for my new phone. I recommend it for iPhone SE owners.

This is all about keeping that expensive cell phone protected. This case will do exactly that. It’s light weight but very sturdy. It incase the whole phone so not even your hands will never come in contact with your cellphone. It was a little hard to open the case to install the cellphone, but maybe that’s just me.

I drop my phone frequently, so I always get the Otterbox Defender cases. I've been using a Otterbox Defender to protect my iPhone SE for years and it has kept it in perfect condition. For my new iPhone SE 2nd edition, I decided to upgrade to the "pro" version. This case fit the iPhone SE 2nd edition perfectly and feels sturdy in hand. I also like the modular design on the back of the case and am confident my phone will be protected for years to come.

Absolutely in love with this case, does not cover earpiece microphone with screen protector. That is my only con for case.
PROs:
-Non-slip grip silicon outside lining (major plus for driving setting down on sleek surfaces)
-Dual encasement protection (hard inside piece/outside silicon)
-STURDY easy flip protectors for buttons and ports
-For this price.... TOTALLY WORTH IT.

Nice snug fit, definitely better than previous otter box I had. Material seems like it will last longer and not deteriorate. Good clip that comes with it as well that snaps onto the case. Was a bit tough to get the outside cover on since it was so snug, but just keep trying at it and it will go. Came with a bunch of free Apple subscriptions. I did buy during Black Friday sale.

I have been using the Otterbox Defender for my iPhone for almost ten years. I like how the Otterbox protects my iPhone and also how it feels in my hand. A bonus is it has a belt holder that I can use when I want to conceal it on my side. This product extends the life of my iPhone by keeping it looking new, without scratches, dents or cracks. I highly recommend it to anyone who ever has dropped their phone and wished they had a protective cover on it. The Otterbox protects your phone from damage when you drop it on any hard service.

Still Great After a Year of Use

I have used Otterbox since having the iPhone 4S, and when I needed to get another case for another iPhone (8 model), I went with the Defender Series Pro. I can honestly say, this Defender case has been a different experience from the 4S model that showcased improvement.
For the 4S Defender case, the main issue was the plastic around the case, as it would wear out over time. My phone was protected, but I would have to replace the case a few times over the years. For this case for the iPhone 8, the plastic has been very durable and strong! It has been over a year, and it is still feeling well around the case.
Another thing about this Pro case is the width - I enjoy the fact that it is slimmer, while still being protective. I have dropped the phone many times, but has still protected the phone well.
I will say, be sure to clean the case and the screen protector - I noticed that over time the lack of cleaning on the screen protector caused issues with Touch ID, as it was not fully feeling the touch of a finger. After cleaning, Touch ID works smoothly.
After having this for over a year, I have been very pleased with this case. It has my recommendation if you have the iPhone 8 (or SE) and want to protect your phone.
