Protects phone, however small particles such as pocket lint can get in between the screen protector and the screen. Over time these particles made permanent scratches on my screen around the edges. I would recommend a case with no built in screen protector.

Hey Hodgi,
We're so sorry for any frustration with the Defender Series. Our Defender Series case will offer dust protection, but isn't completely dust and debris proof. If you're looking to use a case and a separate screen protection, we recommend picking up the Commuter Series and the Alpha Glass or Amplify. The Commuter Series is a two-piece case that features a silicone layer that goes around the iPhone and a hard plastic shell that goes on top of that. It features port covers to keep dust and debris out of your phone's ports. The Alpha Glass and Amplify are completely compatible with this case for premium screen protection. If you have any additional product questions, please call us at 1-855-688-7269.
Sincerely, OtterBox Customer Service Team

The Phone is more secure but way too large. Armor of the OtterBox makes the phone so much bigger that it does not fit in any of the other accessories that I had purchased for the phone. Very frustrating and much heavier, too.

My husband is a brute when it comes to cell phones. Unfortunately this one only lasted for a few months...
Others out there are much better, and worth the few dollars more.

We are simultaneously sorry and surprised that your husband's Defender Series Case wasn't able to keep up with the demands put upon it. Just so you know, we do have a really great warranty that can help to get him set up with a brand-new replacement to address whatever issues his current unit is struggling with and restore maximum protection. Just ping our handy Otters via the link below and we'll have things all fixed up in no time!

This was the only "color" option in Best Buy, but I am pleased with it. It is very sturdy. Has a good grip.
