      Hey there Luis!

      We're so sorry that our screen protector has made using your touch screen feel like Mission Impossible! Here at OtterBox, we don't believe you should have to sacrifice protection for full functionality of your device. Sounds like there might be a bigger gap between your screen protector and phone screen than we would normally prefer, so please don't hesitate to call our secret-agent Otters at 1-855-688-7269. They'll crack the code and get a new warranty replacement sent out in no time!

      Cheers,

    Hard to carry in your pocket it's too big and bulky. And if you clip it on you pants it feels even bigger.

      Hi Ron,

      We’re sorry that the Defender case is a tad too bulky for your comfort level. Maybe our Symmetry case would be a better fit as it is slimmer than the Defender. Check out the link below for more information on that OtterBox case.

      Hi Kelse,

      We're sorry to learn that you're experiencing some trouble accessing your device ports with this Defender series! The rubber port covers can occasionally be a little stiff at first, but after some time and use, they should start to relax and move more smoothly. If the issue persists or just becomes too frustrating, please don't hesitate to call our playful Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll gladly dive in to help out!

    I recommend this case only to those who are extremely hard on their phones or for those whose phones are regularly subjected to heavy wear and tear. The clear plastic screen cover severely hinders touch responsiveness and the bulky size caused me to exchange this case for another. Might I regret returning this if I drop and break the phone using the replacement case? Yes, but I only paid $240 for the phone, so I'll take my chances.

    I bought this for a new Samsung S7 edge. I found it bulky and hard to clip in phone. The cover makes it have less tactile sensitivity. So it is harder to use the phone. Phone fell out of belt clip holder but I got lucky and someone turned it in so I got it back. Then I returned this case back to best buy and bought a platinum case that is much better !

    The cover makes the touch screen almost unusable. Sometimes I have even resorted to banging on screen with my finger....still no response. Scrolling is difficult. The very center of screen is most responsive, but not reliably so. The case is bulkier than I like. I felt that my Note 4 in a Caseology was easier to fit into purse pocket

      Hi GalaxyGal,

      We are sorry that the Defender case is a bit too bulky for your comfort level and that this screen protector is hindering your touchscreen experience. Perhaps you would be more interested in our Commuter or Symmetry case as they are both slimmer than the Defender. Check out the links below for more information on those products.
