    Old one was better. This one feels cheap, was hard to put on. Uncomfortable after one day use. I’m pretty sure I can’t get the case off without breaking my new phone. Will have to get pop socket to tolerate this case and will return the wireless charger. Do not buy this case.

    The case is beautiful but it is not compatible with Apple wireless chargers. I removed the case and the phone charges, however, it does not charge with the otterbox magsafe case. Very dissappinted.

      That's so odd that you're having trouble keeping things amped up with the Defender Series Pro XT case and an official Apple wireless charger. Is it a MagSafe-specific charger that you're using? The case was designed to allow for seamless use with that accessory ecosystem, so it should definitely work with those items.

      Feel free to give our supercharged Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 so we can get a better understanding of all the dynamics of your experience, and we'll be glad to dig in and figure out the best path forward!

    Been with OtterBox since I got my 1st smartphone. I have always trusted and been happy with their products and always will be. The only thing with this case specifically is that it is a pain to put on. But once u get it on it’s the best case for the phone

      We are so sorry to hear of the damage your iPhone sustained to its backside while under the watch of the Defender Series Pro XT case. Although we put our case designs through rigorous testing to ensure they'll provide the best protection available to help limit the potential for such outcomes, unfortunately, any given incident is still subject to a variety of unique dynamics that prevent us from being able to eliminate all exposure to risk.

      Unfortunately, our warranty won't be able to help with any device repairs or replacement, though we would like to get you set up with a new OtterBox for a fresh start on that side of things. Please feel welcome to reach us at 1-855-688-7269 and we'll be glad to assist you further.

      Warmly,
      OtterBox Customer Support OtterBox

    New Case, Same Otterbox Quality

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

    This is the third time that I have purchased an Otterbox case, and the first time I have purchased an Otterbox case from Best Buy. I typically purchase my Otterbox products through the Otterbox website itself (where you can make an account and register your products so that getting them replaced when they break/wear out is more streamlined) but that was not an option this time as this case was sold out almost as soon as it was released. I have been using this case all week on my new iPhone 14 Pro Max and it is of excellent build quality. I am glad that the Defender Series cases are available in this Black/Crystal color because Otterbox stopped production on all of the clear plastic Defender Series cases for the iPhone XS Max (the phone I upgraded from) shortly after that phone was released. I am glad to purchase a product that is guaranteed by a warranty from retailer that I trust.

    Great case but not as protective…

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

    Good Case, I had no issues installing it with my neatly trimmed nails. Definitely will need a screen protector as it doesn’t offer as much protection for the screen when dropped front first (same goes for the camera when dropped from the back). If phone is dropped on a flat surface there are no issues, but we all know that’s not the case when accidents happen.
