I am using an iPhone 8 running iOS 12+.
The algorithms for the iPhone 8 have been changed to require a lower starting spot on the screen to access the "control panel."
The Otterbox has a piece of plastic covering the starting spot.
Called Otterbox customer service looking for a solution. They were of no help.
Buyer beware.

Hi there!
We're sorry to hear that your Defender Series Pro case is giving you issues with your control panel. We've noticed that trying to slide that control panel up from different locations at the bottom of the screen can make it easier if you're having trouble doing it directly from the middle. If that doesn't help, reinstalling your case can help get things lined up properly.
Best, OtterBox Customer Service Team

Disappointed with screen cover

The case itself does serve as good protection for the iPhone. the plastic screen cover was disappointing, there always seemed to be smudges on the screen. I like the glass screen protectors much better. Purchased a different style case.

Wrong case for Iphone7

This is gathering dust. It caused feedback while using IPhone 7. It blocks the bottom openings the phone needs to have open. After removing the phone from the case, it worked fine. I purchased a different case with openings at the bottom and the phone works without feedback.

Hi there!
We're sorry to hear about any frustration with your Defender Series case. That OtterBox isn't designed to be waterproof, so it won't be able to seal any moisture out of that case. We'll be sure to get your feedback passed along. If you run into any other issues with your case, give us a ring at 1-855-688-7269, and we can get you helped out.
