Customers commend the Defender Series Pro XT Hard Shell for its high quality and excellent fit. Many appreciate the case's durability and how well it protects their iPhone. However, a significant concern is the lack of full screen protection, with users reporting cracked screen protectors due to exposed edges. The absence of a screen protector and exposed camera button are recurring criticisms.

If I could give zero stars I would. Didn’t think about the section on this case that is cut out for the camera button. It exposes the edge of the screen and have already cracked three screen prootectors right where the edge is exposed. Terrible design!

Too expensive given the level of support around your hand. I would not bet this case.

Usually I have nothing but great things to say about otter box, hands down most durable cases I’ve used. However, the cutaway for the camera button is the Achilles heel of this case. I’ve broken two screen protectors in two weeks in the same exact spot because of it. All because the phone gently bumped my kitchen table.
Hello! The new and improved designed cases work seamlessly with Apple's new camera control button on the Apple iPhone 16 line of cases. Our engineering team not only found that the new notch does not diminish the drop protection of the case, we also re-engineered these cases to be Drop+ 7x rated. Please reach out to us via chat, and we are happy to help with any other questions or concerns you may have.

Free Holster is a scam

When I upgraded to the iPhone 16 I purchased two of these from Best Buy. They didn't include a holster. When I get home the details for the free holster listed on the back of the box were not included in package. Otterbox site wants to charge me. Deceptive
With our ongoing sustainability efforts, we have made the decision to remove holsters from the packaging. However, we still include a coupon code in every box to redeem for the Defender Holster accessory. If you need assistance with getting a holster, please contact our Customer Service Team via chat and we are happy to help with this!

Horrible, I would not recommend this to anyone. It has a big gap where you use for the camera on the right side, which I do not like. they need to do a much better job to create better where you will feel your phone is being protected by this outbox case

This case does not match the description. It’s supposed to be grippy. It’s slick, like all other hard mag safe cases. Useless

No explanation given for not installing a screen protector I ordered when I purchased a phone case protector.
It was agreed that I could return to the store when the order arrived and it could be installed there. I arrived and the department manager requested $8.
The ordeal left me frustrated and I returned the screen protector. It’s your loss after the shipping cost and loss of customer loyalty.
We are confident that the retailer will help with this issue. Please feel free to reach out to the retailer you are working with on this.

Really do not like the case. I have dropped my phone a few times and each time I drop it, my screen protector breaks. I’ve had to replace the screen protector 3 times. If I had not had one, my actual screen would be broken and I have a new phone.
We are happy to hear that your device is being protected properly. We have a great warranty, and we would be more than happy to get you a new product via warranty replacement. Please give our CS Team a call at 1-855-688-7269, or reach out to us via chat, and we are happy to help with this!
