This case offers very good drop protection at the expense of bulk. I also wish the built in screen protector was clearer and did not scratch so easy. Through use, you also get an oil slick effect from the screen protector touching the phone screen.

Purchased the Otter box for my Google Pixel XL. Needed something durable that could handle the occasional drop. I've had other phone cases that just didn't cut it. Protects the phone perfectly! Already dropped the phone 3 times with no problem. The only downside is the case is a bit bulky. A little hard to fit in a pocket and the rubber surrounding the phone can make taking it out of your pocket difficult.

Had a touchscreen but got a pixel ex.this cover works perfect as I haul the phone on jobsites .won't slide on my dash either. Little bullky and only comes in black, but the belt clip is useful sometimes.can not use fingerprint to unlock while in clip might drill a hole for that.
Dropped phone already and otter protected it nicely

Built like a tank. This like all Otterbox Defender cases will protect your phones. My one problem with this case is that it only fits in the holster in one direction. All other Otterbox cases I have had are designed to fit in the holster in both directions. This is probably due to the locations of the buttons on the phone, but Otterbox could have made it work in both directions.

OtterBox is a great product, it is a bit thick for my purse and would of loved a different color, but I will dress it up, it will not fall out of may purse like my other phone/cover did. My husband has had his for over 2 years and protected his phone!

Good protection. Has probably saved my phone from breaking on numerous occasions. Perimeter fit is a little annoying. Gets dirt under protective screen..

The Otterbox case is solid and protects the Pixel XL from drops.
The case is a full phone protection including the screen.
The only issue I have is that my G Pay and NFC functions seem to be hindered by the case.

As a very clumsy person this case has prevented a good number of accidents on a daily basis. May not be the slimmest case out there, but it's not meant to be. Also it looks pretty nice.

This was bought for my 12 year old son's new phone. It is by far the best protective case out there, but it is a pain in the butt to take apart at first. Still worth it though.

I have had Otter boxes on 2 different cell phones, and it saved both of them from major damage. Having said that, there is one problem with it. Because my Google Pixel cell phone is so big I have caught the edge of the phone on something at work, causing the belt clip to break off. This has happened twice in the past year. But the case does a great job protecting the phone. Just today I dropped my phone while getting out of the car, and it didn't even scratch. And I dropped it screen down. I just have to be more careful walking at work.

Good protection for your phone. I've dropped it from waist height and it's held up fine. The belt clip helps to keep the phone out of your pocket.

Bought this on Black Friday and it protects my phone well. Difficult to put on initially but once that headache is over it protects against drops and more! Not waterproof though!

It's great if you always drop your phone. It is big and bulky and it does provide protection, but it's not for me.
