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.

    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

      Yikes. That's definitely not supposed to happen, and we are very sorry that you've had such an unnerving experience with the Defender Series Pro Case. We're confident that a brand-new warranty replacement will be better able to keep your iPhone secure by your side going forward, so please feel welcome to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 and we'll be glad to help get one in the works!

      Hi there!

      We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review! Keep in mind, that Defender Series is our most rugged case option, so it'll be a bit more robust than some of our other case offerings. If you're looking for something a bit sleeker, we'd suggest checking out our Symmetry Series case. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to give us a ring at 1-855-688-7269, and we can get you helped out.

    It’s a great case, but it causes gaps in the screen that looks like air pockets. You can’t smooth them out.

      Hi there!

      We're sorry to hear about the troubles you're having with your Defender Series Pro! While that case is compatible with OtterBox screen protection options, we can't guarantee that it will work with a third-party screen protector. If you are using an OtterBox screen protection option, feel free to call us at 1-855-688-7269, and we can get you taken care of.

      Sorry to hear the lines across the outer slipcover of the Defender Series Pro case aren't to your liking. If you'd prefer a simple and smooth appearance, our standard Defender Series (non-Pro) would fit the bill! You can take a closer look over on our official website, and feel free to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions, and we'll always be happy to help!
