Customers are saying

Customers commend the Defender Series Pro Hard Shell for Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 12 Pro Max for its excellent protection, fit, grip, ease of use, and overall case quality. Some customers find the belt clip unfashionable and the case a bit bulky. Others mention the price is a little high compared to similar products, and some would prefer it included a screen protector and better wireless charging compatibility. Despite these minor drawbacks, many appreciate its lightweight design.

    Drop phone on my driveway from chest level. Phone in case with Sagg screen cover. Impacted the opening for the ringer on off& literally bent the one of 2 plastic tabs and shattered the whole back of the phone sagg screen protector & front display. Sent in to Apple They said it's a new iPhone full replacement. Could nor be repaired. Phone was less than a month old.

      Hello, Jason! We’re sorry to hear about your damaged device. Our cases are very protective, but some variables can’t be predicted. We’re happy to send a new OtterBox product under our product warranty, but we are unable to extend our warranty to the device itself, as we are not the manufacturer. Please give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions or if you’d like a new case. OtterBox

    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!

    I prefer the old style with the screen cover. I've already gotten a crack on the screen protector I have. I had the old style OB with the screen protector attached and it lasted many years.

      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.

    "Terrible product"

    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.

    I purchased an Otter box defender series case. To my dismay there was no Steen or camera protector like on previously purchased models I had acquired in the past. This product is of no use in my line of work as a construction supervisor. It is more an offender than a defender especially since the price was much higher and offered much less protection I will be returning this case.

      Hey there! We're very sorry to learn the Defender Series Pro case wasn't quite what you were expecting. Our engineers determined that a built-in screen protector would hinder the use of the phone's screen. Since we didn't want you to be without the option of screen protection, we ensured that this Defender Series case is 100% compatible with any of our trusted screen protectors. We also have our fully enclosed waterproof FRĒ case available right here on Best Buy's website that might suit your needs a bit better. Please feel free to give our CS team a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any additional questions or concerns.

      Cheers,
