An Otterbox is a must to protect a phone! It’s worth every penny to protect an expensive phone!

Great protection for an iPhone. Several drops of the phone, no damage to the phone whatsoever. A bit bulky, but the case comes with a holster that can be worn on your belt.

The case works great. It is solid and rugged. The only thing I wish is that you had an option as to whether to put the plastic shield on the front or not. I hate that. But, knew it when we bought it.

Kind of hard to get case apart but then when I put case back together with phone in it case snapped together easily! Have had other Otters and have always been happy with there level of protection.

I'm a fan of Otterbox cases. That being said, this model uses a plastic film as the screen protector. That plastic film turns into complete junk over time, scratching and deforming. The case does not prevent all particles from getting in, resulting in a lot of dust/dirt that get between the glass and the plastic overtime. That particulate matter ruins the plastic as you use your phone. The plastic also offers minimal shatter protection.
It would be better to omit the plastic film altogether and make it as easy as possible to install a tempered glass protector to get the job done right.
I'm using this on an Iphone SE, which I use exclusively for work - the belt holster is AWESOME for this.
I also feel like my phone is very secure in the case, despite the screen protector issue.

I absolutely love these Otter Defenders. I cannot tell you how many times I have heard a phone being dropped (sometimes down stairs) and find them perfect.

This case has saved my iPhone from breaking on many occasions. Very solid and durable case with a clip that allows me to wear on my belt instead of in pocket or laying around where I cannot hear the phone ring.

This defender case is terrific. I have dropped the phone 5 or 6 times so far, both in the front and back and the screen has not shattered. Some of the drops were 4ft off the ground. None intentional. Worth the extra money.

They should have an option to buy the clip portion separate the main protection case will need to be replaced after a while but the clip is going to break way more easily so I feel it will eventually balance out the profit margin and keep the customer even more app to continue being a loyal customer for a way longer time I have always bought the otter box sincerely a loyal customer!!!!!

Hi Marty,
Thanks for being so supportive of the Otter experience! We're bummed to hear about that broken belt clip. For safety reasons, our holsters were engineered with a safe breaking point, so our customers don't get into any sticky situations. The good news is we have an awesome warranty, and we're happy to send you a brand-new holster. Feel free to give us a call at 1-855-688-7269, and we'll set that up!
Kindly, OtterBox Customer Service Team

Great case, I’ve used otter box for years since I am in construction. If I wasn’t in construction I’d probably use something different, definitely overkill if you wear this for your office job...
