Excellent protection for my I-Phone. I have used an Otter Box for several of my phones with no problems.

I like otter box cases and this one is better than my previous one as the stand is on the outside if the case so I don’t have to constantly take the case off to use it

Otterbox Defender is as Important as the Phone

Ever since my first smartphone (an iPhone 4), I have used an Otterbox Defender as my preferred case/protector. Even when I briefly switched over to a Samsung Edge for a couple of years, my purchase of the phone was contingent on the store also having a Defender case to match.
I really liked my iPhone 8 Plus, but it was getting sluggish. When I purchased an iPhone 13 to replace it, I knew I was getting an Otterbox, too. With each new smartphone model, Otterbox has found the perfect shell to protect its precious contents. There was a clear plastic shield on the Defender case for iPhone 8, but Otterbox scrapped that on the case for the iPhone 13. Although I have only had the new iPhone and Defender case for less than two weeks, I can understand why they opted to do away with it. The performance of the case is as good as preceding models.
I am a commuter bicyclist. On more than one occasion my phone has become detached from my person and flew 20-30 feet in front of me landing on the pavement in front of my bike. I have never had so much as a scratch on the glass of any of my iPhones or Samsung Edge! Maybe the phones are durable on their own, but I have seen many phone with broken glass without Defender cases. It is a necessary companion purchase with all of my smartphones for this reason alone.

Love it. I won’t activate a new phone without putting it in an otter box first. I just got a new phone and I love the defender series. My phones are all pristine when you take them out of the case for any reason, even after 5 years lol. I wish they still came with screen protectors for the price though. Thanks!

It’s a great case if you want good protection. It’s not as slim as some but they have worked the design to be less bulky. I have seen other reviews mention it doesn’t fit their phone. This case requires you to open it up and snap into place on order to put it on the phone.

It's difficult to pull out the inside rim, but once it's out---it is very easy to insert phone and put rim back in. I've dropped my phone a few times, and so far no damage. Thank you, OtterBox!

Bought the Otter Box Defender for my husband's new iphone 13. It seems to fit very well, much better than the one for the iphone 13 pro max one I have. So far we are happy with the protection it gives the phone.

Otterbox is the best! This is my third phone with one of these defender line cases. After years of use the phones come out of these cases looking brand new. Survives drops like no other. My only complaint is that they changed the design slightly. The cases for my Samsung S4 and my iPhone XR had a ridge all the way around the screen so that you could lay them on just about any solid surface and have the screen protected. The new ones are only raised at the top and bottom with around the middle almost the same level as the screen. Hopefully this is not this case’s downfall.

Fits the iPhone 13 nice and snug cover keeps it safe from drops and falling on face of the phone. Love the fact that all sides are protected from scratches.

For a person who frequently drops my phone, this is perfect!! Not too bulky for my wallet purse, even with the clip cover case on the front!
