    I've had previous otter box cases in the past and this one is a very good one. No issues as of yet and the black friday deal was a great one for this particular item.

    A little too bolky from my taste, adds too much weight. Definitely try it out in the store before you buy it.

    Good but needs better protection on the sides. Needs to be slightly raised on the sides due to easy damage in some cases

    Great case but, design is abit plain. If it had a more sleek or rugged look it would be more exceptable to pay the 50$.

    For a $65+ case it doesn't last long.

    This is my second otterbox defender case, the reason I had to buy two is simple: the outer rubber skin stretched out and otterbox refused to exchange it. It's a good case but the rubber doesn't even last 6 months before it becomes all loose. There is no known fix for it so I had to spend this huge (for a cellphone case) amount of money yet again. What I don't like about it is that it's very big and yet, when taken apart it's extremely flimsy and, as I mentioned before, the rubber part stretched out very quickly and couldn't be fixed. Keep it out of the sun, don't use alcohol to disinfect it, don't put it in hot water and it may last you about 6 months or so.

      Sorry to hear you've had some trouble with the outer slipcover of your original Defender Series case. Had you any cause to continually remove and re-install your S22 Ultra? That's the only thing that comes to mind of how something like this might have occurred. It was also disappointing to learn that you struggled to get the Otter support you were looking for. We actually have a great warranty to help with replacement cases, except for under a very few circumstances. Feel free to give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 if you're ever in need of assistance down the road and we'll be glad to do our best to help.

      Cheers,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team OtterBox

    Less than a year and it had to be replaced. I dropped it and the hard plastic snapped. Which resulted in the back of my phone cracking like glass. The metal backs of the s22ultra must be just weakest point.

    Not too much to say here since it is just a case, but it feels very sturdy and I like the look of it too. It's definitely done its job so far!

    Yes it will protect the frame and screen of the phone. However, this case scratched the side of my phone so much. It has never left the case and it has really damaged the frame
