Looks and feels sturdy. It is just hard as the dickens to get apart. Which, I suppose, speaks to the durablity.

I ended up returning this phone case to the store. I wasn’t crazy about the purple case, but I needed a phone case ASAP. I just bought a new phone and needed it protected. When I got it home and opened it up, the other side was pink. I just couldn’t do it. It was just to ugly. There wasn’t any other otter box options at the store except for all black, and my son bought one of those. I ended up buying a case from amazon.

This was actually an awful experience. I spent 50.00 on an iPhone case that I thought was new and then I received it.
it was used dirty with food on it and scratches all over the back window.
In addition, it was not even the correct case.
You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Hi Joe,
We're so sorry about this. We'd recommend cleaning the fingerprint film with a q-tip, soap, and warm water. If this still doesn't resolve the issue, please give us a call at (855) 688-7269 and we'd be happy to take things from the top with a warranty replacement case.
Best, obcst
