Shattered Screen
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I dropped my phone while painting on a ladder and this case shattered. My phone screen protector now has cracks all through it. This case is supposed to protect against these things. Waste of money.

While we can't help with any repairs to your device, we'd be happy to replace your OtterBox case if needed. Please don't hesitate to visit our Support/Warranty page on our OtterBox website, and we'll get on that right away.
Sincerely,

Otter box
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This case was suggested to me because I kept breaking the glass protector on my phone. Because there is an additional protector on this case I could not use the keys on my phone.

Posted .Hi there!
We're sorry to hear that you're having trouble using the screen of your phone with that Defender case on!

Oops! Item “feature” was hidden from sight.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Otter cover had a belt clip attached; not what I wanted. And not what I could see through the packaging. I will be returning it when we can travel after the snowstorm.

Thumb print spot could be improved
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was super pleased with the sleekness of this case, but one annoyance is that my thumb print doesn't always recognize. The sheet of plastic over the thumb seems to interfere a bit.

Posted .You're not wrong to expect a clean interaction with the Touch ID button of your iPhone while using the Defender Series Pro case, and we're sorry things have been a bit wonky. Let's take things from the top with a brand-new warranty replacement that is sure to smooth things right out so you can enjoy consistent thumbprint recognition going forward!

Did not love this phone case
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This phone case was difficult to use. It was hard to open and I did not like the fact that there was a cover over the mute button since I turn mute on and off often.

Posted .Hey, Judith.
We're sorry to hear about the issues you've had with the Defender Series Pro case. If you're looking for a case that allows for easier access to your mute rocker, you may want to check out the Pursuit Series case, as it has a switch built into the case for easy access. Check that case out here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/otterbox-pursuit-case-for-apple-iphone-7-and-8-black/6137624.p?skuId=6137624

Too bulky

Posted .Hey, Jerry!
We're sorry to hear that your Defender Series Pro was giving you some screen sensitivity issues! We appreciate your feedback, and we'll be sure to get your thoughts passed up the ladder to our design team. Keep in mind, additional screen protectors can cause similar sensitivity issues to what you're experiencing with your case.

A little too much
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great case, but it's a little overkill. To be fair, we only bought this one for my mom because we couldn't find another color case that she liked and I've had good luck with my Otterbox (a different series though). The little flaps over the power plug-in and the weird plastic cover that went over the screen had to be removed to make this thing more functional. Unless you're looking to completely encapsulate your phone for some reason, I'd go with something different.

Posted .Hey, Darren!
We're sorry to hear that your mom didn't love her Defender Series Pro case. If she's looking for something a little more sleek and easy to use, we'd suggest taking a look at our Symmetry Series, as we have a large number of colors and graphics available, and the ports are left open for ease of access.
Check out some of those cases here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/otterbox-symmetry-series-graphics-case-for-apple-iphone-7-and-8-mod-about-you/6144098.p?skuId=6144098

We're sorry to hear about your frustration with your Defender Series case! That slipcover should have a port cover that opens to allow for direct access to your mute switch. If that's not the case, then please reach out to our Customer Service Team here: https://www.otterbox.com/en-us/support

Posted .Hi there,
We're so sorry you're not exactly loving this Defender Series Pro case. This case includes an integrated screen protector to maximize protection, but we understand how it's not for everyone.

Posted .Hi there!
We're glad to hear that your Defender Series case is getting some daily use! Many of those flaps should get a bit easier to use over time. If that belt clip is looking damaged, please give us a ring at 1-855-688-7269, and we can get you helped out.

Posted .Hey there Track,
We are genuinely so sorry to see that your iPhone screen retained a catastrophic crack, even while under the careful protection of this Defender Series Pro. We put that case through a number of intense tests to ensure that it meets our high standards of protection, but unfortunately, every drop or fall is subject to myriad different dynamics and angles, some of which are simply beyond our scope. In the end, we are unable to guarantee that absolutely all exposure to risk is eliminated through the use of our products.
While our warranty does not extend to the Apple device itself, we would still love to send you a brand-new OtterBox so that you can get off to a fresh start once that screen is repaired. If this sounds like an option that you might be interested in, please feel welcome to call our friendly representatives at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be glad to set this up for you.
Sincerely,
OtterBox Customer Service Team
