Otterbox. What more needs to be said? Protector went on easily and is a snug fit. Initially I wasn't thrilled with the hard plastic screen protector, however, it has worked well and does not affect screen touch sensitivity. I chose one with a bright outline (foggy glow) so that it could be located easily in a large pocketbook. Have dropped my phone and can attest it does its job protecting the phone.

In my opinion the otterbox defender provides great protection for my galexy s5. The only thing that is a problem is the volume buttons are hard to operate on the side of the case. This is not a problem for me since I infrequently use them. The rubber case has great gripping power and stays put on slick surfaces in a moving vehicle. The built-in screen protector is an added bonus. The fit of this case keeps the phone dust free and looking like new.

I love this and all other otterbox products I have purchased. My phone has been dropped several times due to small children and has yet to be broken-knock on wood. Easy to put on and take off if needed to be cleansed.

The Otterbox - Defender Series Case with cover is solid and well designed. The case is large in size and has multiple layers of protection for my phone. I feel confident that this case will help to preserve my phone from possible damages.

I had trouble finding a cover for my Samsung Galaxy 5 locally. I found this one online at Best Buy. Love the color, (blue) and it fits my phone perfectly. Price was good too, compared to local stores.

Beautiful blue color with white contrast is amazing. Love it. ❤ Also free from worry of a dropped and broken phone with an Otterbox, I wouldn't buy any other kind.

Like the bright color for ease to find in my purse. Definitely strong, durable, so much so that sometimes it can be hard to push the right buttons over the built in screen protector, which I failed to realize it already had after buying a separate protector. Like the sturdy clip it comes with also.

Phones nowadays break like crackers beneath a hammer. One little drop can erase a several hundred dollar purchase. So cases are almost essential. The price on this one was right, and Otterbox has been around for years for a reason. Would definitely pick up another.

This is a great phone cover. OtterBox is one of the best. Don't waste your money on the other flimsy covers. They may look nice, but don't protect as well. I have dropped my phone a few times and nothing has happened to it due to this cover, Great buy!!!

I purchased this on sale and wish I would've got another. It's protected my phone from numerous drops. Don't really use the clip.

I only buy the Defender series. When I drop my phone - and I do - I don't even worried about the Integrity of the phone. It isn't stylish by any means but it serves its purpose which is protecting the phone.
