Was doing my best to avod buying the Otterbox Defender Pro due to that horrendous asymmetrical gash on the side for the camera button,but after trying 5 other high quality cases at considerable expense,Best Buy had the Black Otterbox Defender Pro on sale so for the price I decided I could try it.Dang it feels just lke my last 5 Defenders on iPhones and 5 on iPads.Yhe gouge makes the camera button the most comfortable to use out of all the cases i tried,and my phone won’t slide of the arm of my chair!

Very sturdy otter box. It makes the side button harder to use. However it looks and feels like it’s built to last. Last one I had for 4 years with no problems. It was dropped several times even rolled under a car once. Get price to protect your valuable phone

Great case. Couple of minor drops only and no damage. Feels solid in my hand and provides a strong gripping feel, not slippery or hard to keep a hold of.
I would recommend this to a friend

Solid case. Tricky to put it on the phone initially but not really bulky when done.

The design around the new camera button seems counterintuitive for a phone case aimed directly at protection and durability. There is a ~1” section of the screen with zero coverage or protection which feels very vulnerable. Its not a cut out for a button, there is literally a secton of the case missing which leaves the screen and completely exposed. The bulk of the case makes the recessed camera button awkward and uncomfortable to press.
Hello! This case was designed to encompass the rugged durability of the Defender Series that you have grown to know and rely on while accommodating the features inherent to the device itself. Please reach out to our CS Team by phone or via chat if further questions arise, as we are happy to help!

We had read the negative reviews about the new side camera cutout being very vulnerable to screen breakage from lack of support. But, my wife wanted to go ahead with the purchase from her longtime positive experience with Otterbox Defenders on previous phones. Big mistake! Sure enough something in her purse hit that exact spot and broke her glass screen protector. Thank goodnesss we had that. Tecommend the Canshn protector instead, although not sold by eBay.
Hello! We are so sorry to hear you experienced an issue with your screen protector. If that screen protector is one of our products, please reach out to our Customer Service Team via chat and we are happy to assist with our great warranty!

OtterBox has the best replacement plan!

The OtterBox Defender Series Pro Hard Shell for MagSafe is one of those cases that feels like a true investment in keeping your phone safe. The moment you snap it on, you can tell it’s built for real protection—not just scratches and scuffs, but legitimate drops, bumps, and those “heart-stopping” moments when your phone slips out of your hand. The layered design gives it a solid, rugged feel without being overly bulky, and the grippy texture helps keep your phone from sliding around on smooth surfaces.
One of the biggest reasons I went with this case is the lifetime warranty, and honestly, that alone makes it a no-brainer. OtterBox will replace the case if it cracks, splits, or wears down, which takes all the stress out of daily use. I’ve had OtterBox products in the past, and they really do honor that warranty—you just fill out a quick form, send in a photo, and a replacement shows up. Knowing they stand behind the product makes it feel like you’re buying long-term protection, not just a temporary case.
The MagSafe compatibility is another big plus. Even with the rugged construction, the magnets are strong enough to work seamlessly with chargers, mounts, wallets, and other accessories. It locks onto MagSafe chargers securely, which is something a lot of heavy-duty cases struggle with.
What I appreciate most is the peace of mind. I don’t have to baby my phone or worry every time it bounces around in a bag, takes a fall, or gets knocked off a table. The Defender Series Pro is built to take hits so your phone doesn’t have to.
Overall, if you want serious protection paired with a lifetime replacement guarantee, this case is absolutely worth it. It’s tough, dependable, MagSafe-friendly, and backed by a company that actually stands behind its products.

As per usual, Otterbox provides top notch protection for my husband’s phone. He’s quite happy with this model. It’s not quite as bulky as his last one, but his last phone was in absolute pristine condition even after 4 years. He self-applied a screen protector, and was good to go with the new phone. He likes that the cover adds grip in his hand and that it doesn’t easily slide off of smooth surfaces. It’s a bit pricey, but after so many years using Otterbox with no issues, he feels okay about paying a bit more. I have a clear Otterbox on my iPhone, and am happy with mine, too!

This is durable and keeps the new iPhone safe even if you drop it from high. It's a little bulky but worth the size for the safety. This is a repeat purchase when we get a new iPhone,

Loving this case. The sagebrush green is a beautiful color and i love the grippiness. Feels very protective without adding too much bulk or weight to the phone.

This case protects my iPhone very well and looks good.

Having bought Otter box products before this one was a no brainer. Protects my phone from falls has a little port for the battery charger which is great because I recently had an experience where my phone didn’t charge due to lint from being in my pocket. This now protects me from that as well. Oh and it comes with a belt clip that acts as a stand to watch videos on. Definitely a 10/10

OtterBox has been my choice for phone cases for over a decade. They consistently keep my phones safe, screens have never been broken. This case is rugged and will do the same for you! Easy to put on super comfortable in hand.
