Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the excellent protection, grip, fit, and build quality of the Defender Series Pro Hard Shell for MagSafe for Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max. Many appreciate its MagSafe compatibility and the overall feel of the case. However, some customers have expressed concerns about the case design and bulkiness, while others have mentioned issues with the screen protector and consider the price to be a bit high.

    Over priced at BB; "kickstand" has to be ordered

    A major retailer puts these on sale every year just around Thanksgiving time for a small fraction of the retail price; and Best Buy will NOT price match from November something until December 3rd because they are consider "Black Friday" sales. Best Buy's "sale" price on these are lots higher than the major US retailer (more than double). I will be returning the one I purchased from BB for refund. Also, starting this year, Otterbox has stopped including the outer kickstand case saying it is for planet sustainability reasons (lol), but they will mail you one with a code inside the box, and there is a price and shipping that they "waive". I am sure that will change next year.

      We are for any inconveniences you have experienced with the retailer. Please feel free to reach out to the retailer you are working with on this to get further assistance with the sales. Regarding the holster, you are correct with our ongoing sustainability efforts, we have made the decision to remove holsters from the packaging. However, we still include a coupon code in every box to redeem for the Defender Holster accessory. This is not going to be changing in the near future. If you need assistance with getting a holster, please contact our customer service team and we are more than happy to assist with this over the phone, or via chat! OtterBox

    Not My Favorite But It Will Suffice

    I don't see where this case has a lot more to offer than other cases out there - I believe it was on sale and that's why I purchased it. One thing I absolutely don't like is the case doesn't protect the button on the lower right hand side where you can instantly access the camera. I went to 5 different stores to look for cases and the selection was slim to none - not many choices and/or out of inventory so my hands were tied - I needed a case and went with this one.

      Hello, Danny! The new and improved designed cases work seamlessly with Apple's new camera control button on the Apple iPhone 16 line of cases. Our engineering team not only found that the new notch does not diminish the drop protection of the case, we also re-engineered these cases to be Drop+ 7x rated. Please give our CS Team a call, or reach out to us via chat, and we are happy to help with any other questions or concerns you may have. OtterBox

    Doesn't provide ANY cushioning. Previous models were much better. Don't know why they changed it. My phone screen broke the day I got my new phone. Fortunately, I have insurance but I'm going to have to provide more cushioning for my phone before I get it fixed.

      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 reach out to us via chat with any questions or if you would like a new case. OtterBox

    Great BUT, the industrial designer was either scared, lazy, or didn’t know what they were doing. Having cut off the frame and bumper to accommodate the new camera control was sophomoric at best. I will replace this when I find a vetted product that knows what it was doing.
