Some customers find the belt clip unfashionable, the case a bit bulky, and the price somewhat high.

    I returned this item to the store. It may be ok for others but not having any protection over the camera lens is a deal breaker for me. I knew it wasn't water proof but thought it would have been sealed to cover the camera.

    Did not like the feel of the case, very unpleasant in the hand. The magsafe did not work very well and on a normal wireless charger it had issues kicking in. I think ill stick with the tried and true defender case.

      We're sorry to hear the Defender Series Pro case isn't quite working out for you. This model doesn't have any internal magnets to help achieve a secure connection with Apple's MagSafe accessories, but our Defender Series XT case has a unique design that will lock things into place and help with wireless charging!

      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. If you were using an OtterBox screen protector, we'd be more than happy to get you taken care of with a warranty replacement. Simply call us at 1-855-688-7269, and we can start that claim.

    The case itself is awesome. The only drawback is the holster clip doesn’t hold the phone like it used to. The previous one I had from a year ago held much better. Would have given 5 stars if not for the holster clip issue.

    I have been using the OtterBox defender for a number of years and never had a problem with it till I bought my new one to fit my iPhone 13 Pro. The case fits fine around the phone without any issue. Where the issue comes into play, is when you try to put the case into the clip itself. The clip mechanism does not hold the phone inside of the clip mechanism. Therefore the phone is always falling out. I have had to use a rubber band to hold it in place. I would not recommend this product.
