      Hi Lully!

      We're so sorry to hear that the Defender is a little too bulky for your preference! The added layers add a little bit of extra protection, but we know that sometimes this can add a lot of weight to the phone. Fortunately, we do make a couple of different styles that are a lot slimmer and might match your tastes better! If you follow the links below, you'll find the Symmetry case, which is lighter and slimmer with excellent protection. Please don't hesitate to ring up our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269 with any further queries!

    Cased did not work well with Samsung S7 Edge

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

    Using this case with the S7 Edge was problematic. Characters on the edge of the screen would have be tapped a very specific angle to be entered. Also, sometimes even characters in the middle of the screen did not work consistently, requiring multiple key presses. Rugged case, but not worth it due to frustration in using the phone keyboard.

    Screen protection protects the screen from interacting with the user XD you won't be able to use your phone. I tried taking the screen protector off and for the most part it works ok but the whole case becomes lose and causes you troubles hitting the buttons correctly.

    I've had an otterbox for my old phone and it protected it well; typing was good. But this case with the s7 I felt was punching the phone for it to type; lost complete sensitivity. Kept skipping some letters. In my opinion not worth it, look for another case for your S7.

    I purchased the Otterbox Defender for my Galaxy S7 edge. I dropped it and the S7's screen cracked. I called Otterbox and they told me they would replace the Otterbox if there was a defect, but would not warrant the product it is supposed to protect. What good is it if doesn't work??

      Hey there marvp,

      We are genuinely sorry to hear that your Galaxy S7 Edge retained some fatal damage after a fall in the OtterBox Defender. Truly every effort is put forth in our engineering and testing operations to ensure the best device protection possible, but unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that absolutely all danger can be avoided through the use of our products. Each drop or fall can be affected by a number of different dynamics and angles, some of which are simply beyond our control. While our warranty does not extend to the Samsung device itself, we would still love to set you up with a new OtterBox in the event that your current case was also damaged during the incident. If this sounds like an option that you might be interested in, please feel welcome to contact our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be glad to further assist you!

      Sincerely,
