I have always used Otter Box ever since I discovered how durable and dependable it is. I work at a job where phones can get beat on very easily and with the Otter Box I have no worried. Prior to this new one I had a Galaxy 3s and kept it encased in an Otter Box, when I finally upgraded my phone was still in mint condition as if I had just bought it.

This case offers excellent protection. The phone has survived a few drops to the ground from 2-3 feet without a mark. The holster grabs the phone securely. It would be a nice touch if the case had a retractable stand.

I love this case. It's pretty, functional, and reasonably priced for the features. Will definitely not have an expensive phone without one of these cases! I had it stepped on by a full grown man with combat boots and it wasn't even phased. Highly recommend these!

This otterbox is a good case, had a very good design which caught my eye to buy it in the first place! Very durable, strong, sturdy, and protects the phone. Unfortunately I have a galaxy s5 which is a great phone! The otterbox does make it quite heavier, and very bulky! It is also very hard to get off if needing to get to the memory or sim card. I didn't like this at all! It also seemed to affect my bluetooth and wifi connectivity! Not bad but noticeable! I did end up getting another case that is smaller and easier to come off! I would recommend this to someone who works in a factory, or construction site but as for me working in the hospitality field, and the phone already being pretty protective itself the otterbox is not needed!

I highly recomend the protective case and holster clip. Both do everything as advertised. The screen protector is attached to the case framework and is impossible to get rid of air bubbles. The first impression you get after installing the case on your smartphone, a Samdung Galaxy S5 in my case, is that the screen looks terrible. I removed the screen and added a Zagg Glass Screen Protector which fits perfectly and along with the case gives the phone an overall profeesional look.

when I purchased my samsung galaxy s5 it was recommended from a coworker that it buy an otterbox. I understood it to be an expensive purchase but a worthy investment. I chose the glacier which is an aluminum grey. the added protection is definitely worthy . Simple assembly ang very satisfied with the purchase.

This is my 2nd otterbox case. It protects my phone so well that I am never worried when I accidentally drop my phone. It does bulk up the size of the phone but I feel it's well worth the trade off. The built in clear protective face also means I don't have to buy screen protectors.

Needed a new OtterBox case for my phone since my old one was all wore out. I honestly didn't realize they carried this color until I saw it at my local Best Buy. I purchased it and have been very satisfied with it to be quite frank. Will surely buy again once this one wears out.

I love this phone case it was recommended by a sales associate her name is Pamela in the riverhead store in best buy mobile. I wanted something durable for my phone where if I dropped it or were rough with it that it didn't break or fall apart. Definitely recommend this case for everyone.

There are 4 Samsung galaxy S5s being used in my house & we all have this otter box in different colors to protect them. It works really well & feels good in your hands. 2 of these phones are used by 11 & 13 year old boys & I can comfortably say that the otter box is sturdy!

I've dropped my phone so many times and it works perfectly.The screen protector work great and it doesn't make swiping feel any different. It's a lil bulky, but you expect that.

This is my third Otterbox case, I even purchased a couple for family members.The case feels good in my hands and it never feels slippery even when wet. The silicone case will start to stretch after it has been removed several times for cleaning. But overall I love this product!!!!

Otter Box makes two seris of cases, The Commuter and the Defender. I like the additional protection of the defender with belt clip. The commuter is much more compact. Neither advertise water protection like Lifeproof does but they are twice the price of an otterbox

Just upgraded phones from the original iPhone to the Samsung galaxy s5. Had an otterbox on the iPhone from day 1, took it out for the first time when I purchased my s5 and it was still flawless and looked brand new. Had to get one for the new phone to keep it flawless!

I decide to upgrade to the otterbox because I heard that it was a great case . I have been using this case for sometime and dropped my phone several times. I recently pulled the phone out of the case and it looks the same as the first day I got the phone.
