Fits nicely. Except for the fact that it has no screen protection. That must be purchased separately.

protects phone, but screen cover is often non-responsive. Difficult to use phone features near edge of screen.

great protection. Looks nice and feels good to hold. I wish it weren't quite so pricey, but if it protects the iphone investment, it's worth it!

It is the only case I will consider for any iPhone I own. Because of Otterbox, I have never ever had to replace any screen etc. Well worth the expense.

Good, well made option for phone protection. Replaced a LifeProof case that provided water proofing at the expense of sound quality.

Brand response from OtterBox Customer Support

Hey foxy,
We so apologize that this Defender Series Pro feels a little more cumbersome than expected! It is definitely odd that the fingerprint film is having trouble working seamlessly with your Touch ID feature, and our friendly Otters would love to take a closer look to try and troubleshoot the issue. Please feel welcome to call them at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be more than happy to help out!
That being said, if you're looking for something that provides protection in a sleeker style, we would recommend the Commuter series. The Commuter still offers that stellar security, just with a slimmer design. Don't hesitate to check it out via the link below, and call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269 with any further questions!

When it comes to full protection over my phone, I don’t see how this could t be the only option. It works great, comes with usable clip, and helps keep my phone protected from life.

I really like otter box cases. I have an extremely dirty and wet job that requires a tough case. Otter box always comes through.
