    Is it the iPhone Pro Max or the cases? I’ve been disappointed with the fit with three different Otter Box cases. I’ve never had this issue before.

      We're sorry to hear you're having some trouble keeping your iPhone amped up while using the Defender Series Pro XT case. Are you using a MagSafe wireless charger? This case has internal magnets that are specifically configured to line up with Apple's accessory ecosystem, so that will definitely be the preferred method for optimal performance.

      Feel free to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 if we can be of any further assistance and we'll always be happy to help!

    $$75.00!!! Really. When ordering online I couldn’t tell or even think this had hard shell on it. Being a defender series had hard shell on the outside. Grip is crap. This is a mix of a Pursuit case and a Commuter case. I get it’s mag but this shouldn’t be in the defender series. It should be in a new series, cuz on the inside there is no padding on the back! The commuter actually has better protection imo! How you insert the phone is the same as the pursuit. With plastic straight on the back of the phone for one, plastic is right up against the back of the iPhone, and 2nd is less protective. Idk how anyone would give this five stars. If it said it had a hard shell in any description I wouldn’t have bought it. I mean it’s personal preference but idk why anyone would want a hard shell. I couldn’t even set this on the arm of my couch without sliding off. Oh last thing hard shell scuffed in less than 24 hours.

      There's definitely a difference between the outermost layer of this Defender Series Pro XT case and the standard version in order to accommodate the use of Apple's MagSafe technology. We do still make the original Defender Series case as well, it just doesn't have any magnetic properties to help facilitate a "locking" connection with MagSafe-enabled devices and accessories. So that's kinda the trade-off between the use of MagSafe or having a bit more grip.

      Feel free to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any further questions, and we'll always be happy to talk shop!
