If the evaluation were limited to great protection, the Otter rates at 5 stars; however, the weight added by the case made my iPhone SE more cumbersome. The SE charge connection is covered by the Otter's flexible "flap", which may keep it dust-free, but recesses the phone's opening about an 8th of an inch making it difficult to connect in dim light or a dark room (i.e. on a nightstand).

This case fit my iPhone se perfectly. It’s a little bulky feeling but provides great protection. No need to mess with a sticky screen protector because the otter box has it built in.

Good protection. A bit thick, but willing to put up with it.

The Otter Box is the best case. Look no further you won't get any better. My last one is still on my I phone 5c. Protected my phone for 7 years. Still looks great.
I like to give the staff member who helped me in the store Mathew was wonderful. Smart, patient in his explanations and no rush answer all my questions thoughtfully. I will ask for him when I am in the store next. Thanks for having him there.
Appreciate your staff working so well with the dispensing of products. GREAT JOB!!!!!

My husband needed a new phone and we knew he would need a case. After checking several choices this seemed like the answer. It is sturdy and does a good job protecting his phone. OtterBox has a good reputation.

I like the case. Its great quality and it doesn’t interfere with touch screen. My old case, a Ballistic, was nice but I couldn’t use the fingerprint option because the case interfered with the button and being able to place your thumb on it properly. No issues with that in this case and it’s just as tough.
Highly recommended

We really like the OtterBox phone case, and feel like it was a great buy. I have heard multiple stories from other people about how they have dropped phones but because they had OtterBox cases everything was always ok. What a great feeling of security to have for a very expensive phone.

I’ve used the Otterbox Defender series of cases as my go-to solution for years. The product provided contained the necessary features to ensure the installed iPhone 7 would be appropriately safeguarded. While it’s a YMMV from the elasticity perspective of the cover (based on historical experience), this case is working exceptionally well!

Great case!
Have used OTTER BOX since I first got a I phone 5.
They are bigger than most but they are stronger.
I dropped a phone from the 4th deck on a scaffold and it handled it perfect. Now this doesn’t mean they’re indestructible but when you spend a lot of money for a phone I’m personally gonna make sure I have it protected!

I had an Otter Box on my previous smaller iPhone for several years. I never had any damage to the phone and it still physically looks like new. I expect that my new larger phone will stay equally protected in the new Otter Box. I’ve seen a lot of people who have had phones get broken so I recommend Otter Box.

Protects your expensive cell phone from damage when you drop it. And you will drop it! Don't try your luck carrying your phone without an outer cover to protect it from damage. OtterBox is the best protective cover for cell phones of all types. I highly recommend it.

Very last OtterBox case for my iPhoneSE in the store --- whew, lucky me! And even better luck for my iPhone whose earlier case HAD to be replaced due to its age . . .

A good solid case from the leader in protective cases. It’s more expensive than others but if you need a good case, you got to get the best.

Never worry about dropping your phone. It will be more than protected with this case. Yeah it’s bulkier than others, but if you spend $500 on a phone, you want it to last.

I really like the otter box covers very protective but the price of the cover for iPhone 8 is outrageously expensive - Apparently since it is iPhone 8 the only choice you have for color selection is black and purple - should at least have one more color choice. everything today that has to do with cell phones is way too costly!!
