    I have used the Otterbox products for years. When I purchased an iphone for my 89 year old mother I found a case that works well for her need of an easy grip and protection from damage if she drops it.

    I had a life proof case before this but it was very expensive and did not hold up well. I purchased the otter box and so far I'm happy, I just wish it was waterproof like my life proof case.

    I had been looking for a new case for my 5s iPhone and had great difficulty finding it. It is perfect. Easy to find in my purse and in my house. Color makes it stand out and easy to find.

    Excellent case for the iPhone SE (5 and 5s) - easy to install and provides a ton of protection. This color does get dirty fast. Would recommend black if you go with this case.

    This case is nice. But the clip is not as sturdy. I work in construction and the clip does not stay on good at all. Other than that the case has saved my poor phone a lot in the first week alone. I just wish there would be some more protection for the camera areas on both front and back of the phone.

    This fits my iPhone SE like a glove. It was excellent protection from drops! I did replace the plastic screen protector with a glass one.

    The Otterbox case is great protection for the phone. It's easy to hold and if the phone gets dropped I have high confidence it will come through unscathed.

    Great Protection for Teenager's Phone

    My 14 year old daughter originally had a more stylish case on her iPhone 5s. Until she shattered her screen through carelessness. The phone itself still worked, so, we made her use it for months, until she was eligible for a new phone. The condition for allowing her to get a new phone was... it's gonna be in an Otterbox Defender. It's a little bigger. But, more importantly... the phone is now fully protected. Great product. I've had a black one on my phone for 2 years now, on the ranch or on the motorcycle, in different environmental conditions, it's protected.

    I was forced into buying the case and now I'm glad I did! I had a 2 month SE that I purchased a case for at the Apple store - well guess what I'm a dropaholic. It worked till I dropped it just right and it landed on a pebble in my driveway. Luckily, I was able to have the screen replaced. Since, I started using this yes - I've continued to drop the phone as a matter of fact in the exact same place I broke the screen. It does what is says. I don't hold my breath anymore when it falls out of my pocket, my hand or gravity just calls it's name.

    Great Protective Phone Cover

    The phone case works great. We had it on a prior phone and it saved the phone from many drops. We knew that is what we wanted to get again. But the color selection was limited. We had to go to 3 stores before we found the color my daughter wanted. But the Teal Blue is a great color and was worth the search. Just wished it was in stock at the first store where we purchased the phone. Online said it was there, but the store did not have it. So the online system needs to better reflect the store inventory.

    protective case for phone?

    So Far, so good. I've purchased Otter Box Defender cases in the past for my daughter's iPhone's and they've failed her. One broke when she accidentally dropped it from approximately 2-3 from the ground. The otter box people didn't want to stand behind their product and cover the broken phone or even the case. A second case failed to keep water from getting in the phone during a thunderstorm with the phone wrapped in a nylon rain jacket stuck inside a duffle bag at a soccer practice. We were so disappointed we switched over to a Lifeproof case which basically did the same thing in a similar situation. So here we are coming full circle back to an otter box. Hopefully if the phone's dropped this case will be more reliable and do what it's supposed to do, protect the phone. Only time will tell.

    Otterbox cases protect like nothing else. However, I am not a huge fan of the built in screen protector. My screen is not as receptive as it once was. My consider cutting it out and getting a separate screen protector.
