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.

    I’ve been using OtterBox cases for years, and the one for my iPhone 12 Pro Max is another solid choice. It fits the phone well, installs easily, and all the buttons and ports line up the way they should. The buttons are still easy to press, and the case adds a little grip, which helps since the phone can be slippery without one. I work outside most of the time, so my phone sees a fair amount of dirt, dust, and the occasional drop, and this case has held up well in those situations. The raised edges around the screen and camera are also a nice feature because they add a bit of extra protection. Because of the type of work I do, my cases tend to get pretty worn from daily use, so I usually end up replacing them about twice a year once they’re beat up. When that happens, I normally just buy another OtterBox because they’ve been reliable for me. Overall, it’s a practical case that protects the phone well and has worked out great for my everyday use.

      We weren't entirely sure of what plastic strip you were referring to with this Defender Series Pro case, but we'd love to hear more about it and see what might be done to help thwart those pesky air pockets you mentioned.

      Just give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269, and we'll get right on the case!

    I really love this phone case. The quality is excellent and it fits my phone perfectly. It provides great protection without feeling bulky, and the design looks clean and stylish. The grip feels secure in hand, and all the buttons and ports are easy to access. Overall, it’s a well-made case that does exactly what it promises. I would definitely recommend it.

    Purchased in Oct, 2024 & needing a new one. It’s a really good case however, the bottom part of the hard plastic did break off on me and the charger port cover didn’t last long either :/ In the end, the case provided the needed protection for my phone and although we are needing a replacement, my phone is without damage :) The case is thick (def added weight), doesn’t slide out of my pocket easily & it’s got a good grip. I would definitely recommend if that is something you are going for. Thankfully Otterbox offer’s warranty’s and I have a replacement on the way!

    I have a very expensive, names brand, phone case but it is so slippery and I have dropped my phone so much. This new case is the perfect fit, not slippery and was so easy to put on my phone.

    In store buy, box is iPhone 12 X-Large!!!!!

    Just like all the defender pros. Best protection imo from any case. Hands down. It fits iPhone 13. Read Bought in store, box said iPhone 12 X-Large. If it says XL then it will fit. Hate when people write stupid reviews. Like the doup that says it doesn’t fit. Now they did announce 12 fits 13 so I can see how this could happen but I research everything I buy since you can. I watch you tube videos and that’s how I found out the 13’s are thicker and bigger lenses. Then I became weary but then saw on another review that it had to say X-Large. Tho I thought it would be helpful to tell people from buying in store that the box didn’t mention 13 at all but had X-Large so I got, and employees weren’t 100% but I could return it so no biggie. Worth it buy it. You want best protection this is it. From droid to apple

    My husband loves the case. Has protected it well and has a charging port cover which is very important to him as he’s had issues with charging ports not working after a while from lint & dust.

    Otterbox Defenders Series Pro Shell for iPhone's is the bullet-proof choice for protecting your hardware investment from shock, drops and moisture. If you can afford the phone, you can afford the right case. Go with an Otterbox, you won't be disappointed. One disclosure: I am not able to use the Mag Charger with this cover on my 13 Pro Plus. Only a small annoyance.
