Did my research and looked up reviews for this case and it's competitors. Great protection from drops, water, and dust. The phone is entirely encased. Included strap is good when sight-seeing and using the phone primarily as a camera. Snap on case is simple and easy! Rubber portions can show dirt. Fingerprint sensor can miss sometimes. Unplugging ports for charging and headphone jack can be a bit difficult. Sound can be a bit distorted at high volume. All these drawbacks are overcome by the price!

This is a nice case and has kept my phone protected.
But i noticed after about a month the buttons on the side's of the phone started tearing/wearing down, being me i just put some glue over it to keep it from getting worse and left it at that
one other thing is that sound is extremely muffled and i found that a little annoying.

It definitely is durable and waterproof but a couple of things I believe are design flaws. If you are talking on the phone without a headset, it's difficult to hear. If you are talking on the phone without a headset, the screen sensitivity is increased and buttons are pressed when you don't want them to be pressed. This doesn't happen when the case is off. The case itself is a little clunky but its durable and water proof...which is PLUS.

I haven't tried getting the phone wet or dropping it, but the case seems to work really well. The screen protector makes it hard to type sometimes.

Just hard to use the side buttons and open area for charger when you have long nails.

I bought this for my daughters phone. She loves the color & it is very sturdy, I actually like it better than my life proof case. The price was great, too!

I purchased this to replace my Life Proof case that last a year. I have to say I love the Otter Box over my old case. It seems like it's stronger and fits the phone better. I do have one issue the case is a tight fit so when you put your phone in it sometimes turns it on to vibrate or mute.

I did a little research before hand b/c I wanted to have a case that would protect me fall not only from falls but from water as well. This case is great! I keep my phone with me when I go kayaking - no leaks and my phone looks like new!

I bought this case to replace my Lifeproof case that died. Seems bulkier than I had hoped. Easy to take on & off which makes me concerned about just how weather/water or off it is.

You can't plug in a car charger. You can barely hear people talking. Others say you sound like you're in a tunnel talking. Just awful! I had the otterbox rubber case for years, and although it is a chunky case it kept my phone in mint condition. Needed to replace and tried this and will never buy a hard case again!
