Phone case completely covers the phone including the front. Very hard to find these days. Haven't dropped it in the bathtub yet, but it appears this case would protect it. Had an otterbox on my old I-phone 55 and was very satisfied with it.

Finally got a case that is as close to Pelican case. Not a pretty one but very durable. I think it can take a drop and protect the phone screen.I compare it to the Pelican because I have had a Pelican on another phone and it stands up.

Updated finish makes it easier to slip in/out of your pockets than older models. It provides excellent impact resistance in falls and drops. (Slid off my Jeep at highway speeds with no discernible damage to the iPhone)

I like the fact that it has a screen protector. Also the case is very sturdy. I’ve had a few of these cases before for older phones and they last a long time (if you take care of them).

The case is a good fit for the phone, it protects the phone from damage it you drop it, it also has a screen protector built in, as anything, if the phone hits a certain way, I guess the phone still be damaged. So far so good.

The three layer case provides an excellent level of protection for your device.
Pros: Layer of protection, drop height information provided, reliability, lightweight, great style and aesthetics
Cons: Clear plastic glass cover tends to get dirty and impacts the user if she or he has tempered glass, the clear cover over the button is functional but is wears fairly quickly (Depends on user and rate of usage).

Best case protection for iPhone. I've bought several OtterBox products to protect all my iPhones bought the last several years. In fact, I recently traded-in my iPhone 6s and after 4 years it was rated in mint condition.

Ok I have had this one before. Yep do love it. No issues with it. It protects the phone. My only complaint is that I can’t get a pop socket to stick. But that will not stop me from getting it again.

These cases really do protect the phones. I work in an outdoor environment, heavy equipment, and I have run over my phone with a tractor. The phone was fine, clip broke, but Otter replaced the clip.

It is a solid hard case that really protects the phone. I don't need or want the belt clip, but .... My only negative comment is that because there is a plastic cover for the "home" button, the ability to use thumb identification appears to be lost.

This is the third Otter I have used to protect my phones and all have been great. I have a farm and it's easy to harm a phone with my daily work schedule and the Otter has always saved the day.

Never had a bad product from otter from cases to coolers. One complaint, if their needs to be one, is everything they make is a little extra bulky...but maybe that’s why they are so durable and protective

Do you always find Yourself dropping your phone or have it falling out of your pocket, well then this is the case for you. I always find myself picking up my phone and I’ve never had to worry about the screen cracking.
