    Not worth It

    I bought the otterbox protective case and from the beginning I did not like it. The screen cover that goes on top reduced my ability to use the touch screen. I had to tap 3-4 times to perform a function on the touch screen. I would not recommend this product.

    Had my phone for months without a cover. Got this, within a month, dropped my phone. Screen shattered. Case is just as worthless as the warranty. OTTERBOX ONLY WARRANTIES THEIR CASE, NOT YOUR PHONE. Bait and switch company.

      Hi Skeletor,

      We are genuinely sorry to hear that your Galaxy S7 Edge took a spill and emerged with this damage to the screen while under the watch of the Defender series. We perform extensive tests on the Defender to ensure that it will meet our high standards of protection, but unfortunately, every drop is subject to a multitude of variables, some of which are beyond our control, and we are unable to guarantee that all exposure to risk will be eliminated through the use of our cases.

      Although our warranty cannot be extended to the screen of your phone, we would very much like to send you a new OtterBox to ease the sting, even if just a little. Please feel welcome to reach out to our friendly representatives at 1-855-688-7269, and they can set this up right away.

      Sincerely,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team OtterBox

      Hey Jeremy,

      We're so sorry to hear that your experience with the screen protector on this Defender series caused you to take drastic action! We typically do not recommend removing any part of the case, since the unit is specifically engineered to protect that particular device. Rather, if you run into any touch sensitivity issues, we're always happy to set you up with a warranty replacement. Modifying the case can sometimes void the warranty, but we're positive that our friendly Otters would be willing to make an exception so that you can use the case as originally intended. Please feel welcome to give them a call at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll get you into a brand-new replacement as soon as possible!

    The BEST protective clip-on case for Galaxy S7Edge

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

    The case is easy to put on, take off, it protects the screen, has a good grip and feels solid. I can use a wireless charger with this case and because rubber backing is flexible, I can use a magnet on the inside of the case to securely attach my phone to my car's dashboard (which has a magnetic phone holder in a vent). I really like my S7 Edge, I take it out to use GalaxyVR quite often and it's very convenient. I honestly tried 4 different cases, none were as good as this one. I am keeping this one because I can sense that if I drop my phone it will be protected, the others were flimsy, too slippery and inconvenient (I bought cases that cost between $15 and $30, all a waste). My advice - forget about how much this costs, just get it and enjoy your phone for 2 years.

      Hi there,

      We're so sorry some wires got crossed here. This is strange because this Defender Series case was specifically designed to fit the Galaxy S7 edge seamlessly.We're wondering if you have a different model phone? Nonetheless, we'd like to learn more about your situation, so we can figure out the best way to help at our official OtterBox website!

      Hey, Dream!

      We're sorry to hear that your case broke so rapidly. We design our cases to be durable enough to survive the daily rigors of life, so we're bummed to hear that yours hasn't lived up to the hype. The good news is, we do have a great warranty, and that's definitely something that would be covered under our warranty. Give us a call at 1-855-688-7269, and we can get you helped out.

      Hey NTOP99,

      We're so sorry to hear that your Galaxy S7 Edge was making it feel impossible to type on your phone! Sounds like there was a bigger gap between the screen protector and your touchscreen than we would normally prefer. Had you contacted us, we would have been happy to send out a warranty replacement, but we also completely understand your decision to return the product. If you have any additional OtterBox questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at 1-855-688-7269. We're always happy to help!

      Hi Chris,

      We’re sorry that the Defender case is a bit too bulky for your comfort level and is hindering your touchscreen experience. Perhaps you would be more interested in our Symmetry case as it is slimmer than the Defender. Check out the link below for more information on that OtterBox case.

    Pros: +Plenty of protection from drops, and leaves plenty of room between the screen and the surface. + Built in screen protector, which is extremely rare for the S7 edge. + Retains full functionality of the edge feature. + Protects the headphone and USB ports from debris. + Screen protector is quite thick, providing ample screen protection. Cons: - Decreased screen sensitivity. Hard to type by tapping, can only use Swype. - Bit bulky, which is expected, but some might not find it desirable.
