The case provides excellent grip and protection. Phone fits very tight so it will be fun to remove if needed. It fits perfectly with zagg screen protector also!

Otter is is always the way to go when it comes to protection. It definitely isn’t the most slim case and it will bulk up your phone. However, it’s a good quality. Only complaint would be putting the front piece in can be irritating at times.

Best case I’ve had in a long time! Not too bulky!! I only trust OTTERBOX with my phones. This one is very clean and the MagSafe works great! Camera protection is great as well.

Case is solid, feels good in the hand and still allows for the magsafe wireless charger to work. Was about $30 more than what amazon is selling it for though if you dont mind waiting for the case to get mailed to you…

Great case that provides good protection for your phone. It was a little difficult to get on and we found putting the case on before a screen protector was easiest.

Gave it three stars since it did seem to be very protective. The problem though it felt very heavy and the edges are very sharp. I’ve always had defenders on my phone but never this particular version. This felt less like a soft rubber and more like a hard spare tire. Very hard to get on and pretty expensive for a case.

Brand response from OtterBox Customer Support
Posted .
Great to know the Defender Series Pro XT has your vote of confidence in terms of protection, though we were sorry to hear it hasn't been the most comfortable of experiences using the thing. If you're used to our standard Defender Series, it could be that it's just going to take a few to get used to the new vibe; but "sharp" isn't how we'd have expected to hear of those edges, and we'd be glad to help with a brand-new warranty replacement to see if that smooths things out.
Just give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269, and we'll be glad to get one in the works!
Best, OtterBox Customer Support

i forget how great otterbox is. now when it comes to phone cases and protecting mine; otterbox only. its been many years since i last used one but i will no longer shop anywhere else for one besides best buy. i love the case. dropped my phone one time since having it and it didnt crack nor leave scratches norrr did my phone fall out like other cases. it may cost a lot but what do you expect when this case will protect your phone for years? well, as long as youre not consistently dropping it 25/8. if youre wondering if you should get it, then get it. you wont regret it.

I'm really rough on my devices and this thing has held up for a bit over a year with only a corner breaking at this point with no damage to my phone. Additionally, the lifetime warranty claims process with otterbox was so easy and smooth, just make sure you order with your best buy account so that you can look at your order history for date of purchase if you ever need to put in a claim! It was a lot of money for me, but definitely worth it in the long run.

As always OtterBox delivers, not only is this case slimmer to allow for the magsafe charging, but it still protects the phone amazingly well. I switched to OtterBox 2 phones ago and will never own another case. The lone Con is it was a pain to get put apart to put on the phone.

Great case. Fits tight. Rugged for my work in construction. iPhone 14 pro max is a big phone with the case, but still slips in and out of my pocket with ease. Doesn’t get in the way.

Excellent. Adds very little bulk/size but provides excellent protection. Excellent grip. Only downside is it takes a few minutes to put on and take off, but considering it barely adds any size to the phone it’s worth the effort. Otterbox always comes through for iPhone

I've only had this case for a month now. But so far, it is an excellent case. Very robust. It even has a plug to protect the charging port from dust. I only gave it a 4 star because, putting it on was a PITA. The directions were not clear. I did not know that you had to remove the liner from the case before installing.

Nice and sleek and not too bulky in your pocket. I was concerned by bulkiness based on how big the phone already is. This was a pleasant surprise. It is super easy to hold, works great with the mag safe tech and protects my new phone very well.

Very good protection for my iPhone. I like the rubber edge on it. It keeps phone from sliding out of my shirt pocket when bending over to pick something up.

Excellent case, nice fit to the phone and didn’t interfere with my spiguen screen protector I had already installed. That was my main concern after reading reviews. I had another case on but wanted something a little more hefty. This fit the bill.

This case provides excellent protection for my iPhone. It is difficult to install but after watching a video or 2 and fighting with it for a few minutes, I was able to get it.
