Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the Defender Series Pro Modular Case's protection, fit, and ease of use, with many praising its ability to safeguard their phones and its user-friendly design. The case's quality and grip also receive significant praise. However, some customers express concerns about the case's bulkiness and the slight inconvenience of the charging port cover. Overall, the positive feedback on protection and usability outweighs the negative comments.

    Unfortunately, I was not able to insert my Samsung 9 phone into the metal case. I will have to make a special trip to the Best Buy store ( near Patriot Boulevard and off Willow Road ).

    The case seems solid, but it would be better if it came with screen protection. Also, the case does not work with the glass screen protectors you can buy. It works with the plastic film ones.

    Case is good. But instructions are hidden in package and it’s not clear they are the instructions. Without them you don’t know how to get the case on.

    I needed a case that was sturdy and came with a pocket/belt clip. The case was exactly what I needed but the clip goes onto the front of the phone so you cannot view, or answer the phone without removing the clip. Not an ideal product for me.

      Dear DeeBee,

      We apologize that the holster design for this Defender Series Pro isn't quite matching up with your preferences! The belt clip is specifically engineered to latch onto particular points on the case that do not interfere with the device side buttons. While the orientation of the belt clip does provide additional screen protection, we totally understand why it might not jive well with your style! We'll gladly pass your feedback along to our product design team for future consideration. If you have any additional questions or comments, please feel welcome to call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be more than happy to help out!

      Sincerely,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team OtterBox

      Hi, Scott!

      We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with your Defender Series Pro case! After exhaustive design testing, our engineers determined that the best way to interact with the advanced display of this device was without the addition of a built-in screen protector. That being said, our tests have shown that this case provides the same level of drop protection as Defender Series cases of the past. We'll be sure to get your feedback passed up the ladder to our design team.

    This OtterBox was just to hard to put on, let alone taking it off. I like cleaning my phone completely and this product would just frustrate me operating it. The female Representative in the store could not put it on without taking 20 minutes of both our time. I returned this OtterBox because it was not the one for me.

I had to go to my local Best Buy store to return it and replace it with an Identically packaged one that fit my S9

      Hey Pat,

      We're so sorry this Defender Series Pro case isn't checking off all your boxes!

      This case was designed with specific dimensions to maximize rugged protection. Although a change in specs isn't on our road map, we'd love to pass your feedback to our product design team for future consideration.

      As for the charger port door, this is unusual. We'd like to learn more about the specifics of your situation so we can figure out the best way to help. Please feel free to give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 and we'll dive right in!

While that case is compatible with Qi charging, some chargers tend to work better than others, so you may find that a different charger suits you best.

    Case Holds Up To Reputation

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Otterbox Defender Pro cases are built to last and protect. They give the user a feeling of security and knowledge that the phone it protects will keep its value and stay free from scratches and breaks. I know of a couple of cases that have held up to their reputation as a top contender for smartphone protection. All the drop tests I have seen have been most impressive and the Otterbox Defender Pro holds up well to the competition.
