Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the Defender Series Pro Hard Shell's protective qualities, comfortable fit, and ease of use. Many appreciate the grip and overall quality of the case. Some customers find the belt clip unfashionable, the case a bit bulky, and the price somewhat high. Additionally, a few wish it included a screen protector and had better wireless charging compatibility.

    OtterBox Defender series has been my "GO TO" case for many years. Very durable and protects costly phone VERY WELL. OUTSTANDING warranty if & when needed.

    I used to love these, it was the only one I ever bought for years but now they are so thin and was not compatible with screen protector on. First time I ever return an otter box. I wouldn’t recommend buying this if you have a screen protector on your phone

      Hi there!

      We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with your Defender Series Pro! Rest assured, that case has been through hundreds of hours of design testing to ensure it will provide your phone with the protection OtterBox is known for. Additionally, we have designed all of our cases to be completely compatible with OtterBox screen protection options. We're sad to hear that you ended up returning your case, but we hope you choose to give us another chance in the future.

    I have been extremely satisfied success with Otterbox Defender series in the past....which is why I bought this without hesitation. BAD Decision! The phone has fallen out of this holster more times in the two weeks I have owned it than the total times for all other phones and holsters over the last 7 years. I am not talking about rigorous action or activity (like running, jumping, climbing, etc), I am talking about getting up from a chair and out of the car! I thought the first i got was defective so I took it back after a couple days and got a new one....no change! A huge disappointment. Poor design -- the holster is not deep enough for the phone to sit securely in it.

    Not much to say, it’s an otterbox defender. They do their job for about two years, then things like the silicone sleeve expands. Or hard case part cracks. But for those two years it’s fantastic.

    The phone won't go in the belt clip as the previous versions have.... You have to have the face of the phone out to get it to clip and why would you want that....

    Absolutely horrible! Have had a defender series case on all my IPhones and loved them! Never had an issue. I purchased this case for my new 13promax and it constantly falls out of the clip. Clip is very loose. Tried contacting otter box and it was useless. Now have to buy another case before my phone get either lost or broken. NOT HAPPY..

    Used to be a real avid otter box user but eight the purchase of my newest phone and case it’s obvious that they redesigned them a bit and the case doesn’t hold very secure in the belt clip anymore and I dropped my phone the next day after buying it I returned this case and check other cases to make sure it wasn’t a defect and they’re all the same way. It’s disappointing because I love otter box because they have always kept my phone secure
