Great protection for my phone, good fit, charging wire plugs in no problem. Haven’t had it long enough for a longer review.

I purchased the OtterBox Defender case for my iPhone SE (2nd generation). The case fits perfectly and offers excellent protection. I have purchased OtterBox cases before and have found that their cases are durable. I am happy with my purchase.

Otterbox is mandatory for phones I’ve used these since my first phones and it keeps me from having to worry about damaging my phone

I had the Defender case on my iphone6 and appreciated it. An important benefit beyond protection is that this case significantly improves your grip on the phone. The bare phone is a slippery eel.
I like how the case's sound ports mold directly to the area around the casing perforations at the bottom of the phone. It seems that they improve your voice transmission to the phone and keep debris from getting between the case and phone.
The fingerprint unlocking on the iphoneSE seems to be unimpeded by the case's flexible cover membrane and it also helps keep debris out.

Purchased the otter ox defender case for my wife’s new iPhone se.
I’ve owned a few otter box phone cases and every case is well made. The otter box case that was used for the iPhone 5s is still in excellent shape just the the phone that was in it.
I would recommend the otter box case for anyone wanting the best protection for their phone.
Note: The phone does not have to be removed from the otter box case when using a charging pad

I tried to go less expensive and save money- though I have been a loyal otterbox customer since i started getting IPhones . I wear my case out and keep it 3 - 4 years. I wasn’t too surprised that the comparable less expensive case I purchased - looked like a piece of junk when you got it- and probably wouldn’t last a month.
I LOVE THIS UPDATE- it looks more professional - thinner and sleeker - and I like that you don’t have to worry about the caps or covers for the earphone or charger - as it has a built in protective casing... I usually have to have the rubbery case so it doesn’t slip out of my hand when running/ exercising- this is a great product for style and functionality combined - definitely worth the extra you pay to have a product youblove- that you know you will get more than your money’s worth !

Great case if you need to protect your phone. A bit bulky, but worth it for the protection.

I had a life proof case before this, aside from the tab on the life proof case that stopped clicking in after a couple months which wasn’t a big deal to me; people at the other end of the phone had a hard time hearing me when I was speaking clearly into phone. I figured I’d try the otter box cases again even the they’re bulkier, problem solved. Also my phone feels much more protected.

OtterBox is still the standard for protection. The hard case is a little bigger than competitors but worth the extra for the protection. I had multiple OtterBox and tried other brands. Otter is still the standard.

I needed a good solid case for my extra iPhone that I use for my Podcast call-in line and wanted one with built-in screen protection. I normally buy Lifeproof cases, but I have been very disappointed with how they hold up over time and they cost $89.99. I found this Otterbox Defender series in my local store and was very impressed. It is not water-proof like the Lifeproof cases are, but I didn't need that level of protection for this phone. I was happy to see that the box could easily be slid open to look at the actual case. To my surprise, it had a built-in screen protector that is actually part of the case. There is no cover over the rear-facing camera, but that is okay for my needs. It also includes a belt clip holster, all for $49.99. You can't go wrong with this case for solid protection for usual everyday use.

I use Otterbox cases for my iPads and iPhones. I've dropped both devices and the cases saved them. I unbox a new device and put it directly into a case. When I trade in the devices they look brand new. This 'Pro' case looks even more secure than the case I bought for my iPhone 6s. Best Buy cases were less expensive than cases from other vendors. Once you get used to 'double wrapping' the phone in an Otterbox case, you can forget about it while it protects the phone. The company even honors free replacements - you only pay shipping. I got new iPad cases due to the home button cover wrinkling over time.

I JUST PURCHASED A NEW "OTTERBOX" FOR MY IPHONE. THE REASON I PICKED "OTTERBOX" IS QUITE SIMPLE. THE OLD "OTTERBOX" THAT THIS NEW ONE REPLACES WAS AT LEAST 15 YEARS OLD. I DECIDED THAT SINCE THE OLD ONE SERVED ME SO WELL AND FOR SO LONG, I WOULD SIMPLY REPLACE IT WITH THE SAME BRAND. GREAT PRODUCT!

I love how well this protects my phone. I’m ridiculous about dropping my phone on concrete while watching it either smack down on its face or bounce around a little. People around me will Gasp as I pick it up and keep on going as if nothing happened... because I KNOW from multiple experiences that my phone is ok. I’ve bought the OtterBox Defender for 4 different generations of iPhones. Same clumsiness on my end and same protection from the OtterBox, Every Time. Yes it’s bigger than most covers but I love it and I get my money’s worth by not worrying about what my phone cover looks like. Peace of mind.
