Customers are saying

Customers are enthusiastic about the Defender Series Pro Hard Shell's protective qualities and how well it fits the iPhone 13. Many appreciate the case's sturdy build, secure grip, and ease of use, although some find it a bit bulky and note the absence of a screen protector. The price point is also a factor for some customers, with a few considering it expensive. While wireless charging compatibility is an issue for some, the overall positive feedback highlights the case's protective capabilities.

    The belt holder is a piece of crap- my new iphone13 pro max fell out of it 3 times!- the holder is hard plastic- which is designed with protrusions on all corners that snag everything except the phone- expensive garbage.

    product is fine, though I would have preferred a wider color choice - black doesn't do it for me. Service was lackadasical , question response was "over on the other side". lesser response when asked if other colors were available.

      Thanks for the heads-up on your interest in more color options for the Defender Series Pro Case. We actually make four different options to choose from for the iPhone 13, as well as a number of other case models in varying colors. You can check out our entire lineup over on the official OtterBox website, and definitely give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions and we'll always be happy to chat!

    Bought this as a necessity to protect my new iPhone 13, but it did not fit properly. I could not use the side buttons to lock screen or activate Siri, and the cutout for the silence button was not aligned properly.

      Hi there!

      We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with that Defender Series screenless design. After exhaustive design testing, our engineers determined that the best way to interact with the advanced screen of your display was without the addition of a built-in screen protector. That being said, our tests have shown that this case provides the same level of drop protection as past Defender Series cases. We'd love to hear more detailed feedback about your experience with the quality of the case, so we can pass your thoughts along to our design team. Give us a call at 1-855-688-7269, and let us know about your experience!

    Sturdy, easy to assemble, allows for a secure grip, not inexpensive but hopefully keeps phone from breaking when dropped. No longer comes with a screen protector like previous model

    Otter box defender phone cases are very good quality. They do make your phone a little bulkier but it’s worth the protection you get. Little pricey and wish they had more color options.

    Otter-box Defender, this case never gets defeated!

    This case is amazing! I have used Otter box Defender cases on all of my phones. They provide superior protection! I am tough on all my phones. They have survived being drop kicked off a cliff, a run through the washing machine, falling off the roof of the car at highway speed. It is the only case I will ever use for any phone. I recommend this case for anyone that wants the best possible protection for their phone.

      Hi, Brian!

      We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with your Defender Series case! It's certainly odd to hear that your belt clip isn't securely holding onto your device, and we'll be sure to let our design team know about your experience. The good news is, we have a great warranty, so give us a ring at 1-855-688-7269 or file a claim online, here: https://www.otterbox.com/en-us/warranty-claim

      While this case is compatible with Qi charging, it isn't designed for optimal performance with MagSafe accessories. If that's something you're needing, we'd suggest checking out our Defender Series XT with MagSafe here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/otterbox-defender-series-pro-xt-hard-shell-for-apple-iphone-13-black/6471478.p?skuId=6471478
