      Thanks for the heads-up on the holster trouble. That's obviously not helping the cause of maximum protection, and we're sorry that you've had such an unnerving experience thus far. The good news is we're confident we'll be able to get things on lock with a brand-new warranty replacement that is sure to keep your iPhone secure by your side going forward. Just give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 and we'll be glad to get one in the works!

    Usually this case is great, however the case will not stay in the belt clip. I have dropped my brand new phone more than three times now due to the clip. I even ordered a replacement clip and have the same issue. I will have to find another case with a belt clip that will work.

      Hey there! We apologize for any disappointment you've experienced with the Defender Series Pro case for your iPhone 13/12 Pro Max. However, the Defender Series Pro is not one of our made for MagSafe cases. If this feature is important to you, we'd recommend checking out our Defender Series Pro XT case right here on Best Buy's website. We crafted that case with an additional magnet imbedded within it to ensure that MagSafe connection holds strong for you. Please feel free to give our customer service team a buzz at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions or concerns.

      We are so sorry to hear your iPhone 14 Pro Max was somehow compromised while under the watch of the Defender Series Pro case. Although we put forth every effort—from design and materials to manufacturing and post-production testing—to ensure our cases will provide the best protection available to help limit the potential for such discouraging outcomes, unfortunately, any given incident is still subject to a variety of unique dynamics that are at times beyond our control and prevent us from being able to eliminate all exposure to risk.

      Our warranty won't be able to help with any device repairs or replacement, but we would like to get you set up with a new case for a fresh start on that side of things. Please feel welcome to reach us at 1-855-688-7269, and we will be glad to assist you further.

      We are so sorry to hear of the damage your iPhone sustained during that lone drop while covered by the Defender Series Pro case. We do everything we possibly can to ensure our cases will provide the best protection possible to help limit the potential for such discouraging outcomes, but unfortunately, any given drop and subsequent impact are still subject to some unique variables that prevent us from being able to eliminate all exposure to risk.

    Fits well on iPhone 13 Pro Max and still allows wireless charging pad to work flawlessly. I would recommend a glass screen protector, as this case doesn’t have a screen protector built in. Overall it’s a great product that I’m very confident will keep my phone safe and sound!
