    My husband had this case on for 5 minutes before it broke. He paid for it then clipped it on his pants and when he went to sit in the car the clip broke right off! We went back into the store and exchanged it for a different type of cover.

    Belt loop rocks like a rocking chair when screen faces up, one hand texting a no go. Flap over charging port fights back hard when try to hook up cable. Way un-necessary. If I could think of something good to say about this case I would. Don't think twice about buying it, think a hundred times about it, and still don't get it.

    Worst case I ever had. The plastic broke on one corner within a couple months of indoor use and no drops. I guess the pressure from being in my pocket alone was enough to break what used to be the world’s best cases. It also left tons of scratches all over my phones bezel. This case ruined my brand new phone.

    The case creaks while using it, drove me nuts. Same thing with my S21 FE Defender case! OtterBox isn't the brand they once were - I expect flawless function for $65. Avoid OtterBox until they improve the quality of their products.

      Hi there! So sorry for any inconvenience you may have experienced with the Defender Series Pro case for your Galaxy S23 Ultra. This is a bit surprising to hear though. Is the case assembled around your device correctly? If so, we'd expect that squeaking to subside after the material has gotten some use. As far as pricing goes, we think the cost of the unit is well worth the high-caliber protection, outstanding customer service, and limited lifetime warranty that all come along with the product. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and experience with us though. If this issue continues, we'd be happy to dive a bit deeper into things to better understand what's going on here. Please give our CS team a ring at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions, concerns, or if we can be of any additional help to you.

      Warm regards,
      OtterBox Customer Support OtterBox

      Hey there, David. We're sorry to hear the Defender Series Pro case for your Galaxy S23 Ultra wasn't what you were expecting. While this case does feature raised edges around the screen to assist with drop protection, our engineers removed the built-in screen protector from our Defender Series cases a few years back to ensure complete functionality with the newest devices. Our engineers redesigned our Defender Series in order to provide the same drop protection even without the built-in screen protector. If you're looking for 360 degree protection, we'd recommend pairing this case with one of our trusted screen protectors.

      We'd also like to mention that the holster accessory that's included with this case can double as a kickstand for your device. If you rotate that clip on the back of the holster, you'll be able to prop your phone up for handsfree viewing. Please feel free to give our CS team a buzz at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions, concerns, or if we can be of any additional help to you.

      Cheers,
      OtterBox Customer Support OtterBox
