    Very great case for drop and scratch protection, and doubles as a stand. Small opening over home button (which allows fingerprint scanner), but dust and things get under the screen protection. Still recommended for excellent over drop protection and ease of use.

    I purchased this as a gift. I had an otter box with my previous phone an loved it. I think you could throw the phone out the window and it would be fine. The gifted is very happy with the case.

    I have always for the most part loved otterbox cases and this defender case for the Galaxy S-5 is no exception. The case is well-made and sturdy and even the rubber outer case seems firm and a much better fit than the one for my older Galaxy S-4 was.

    When you are investing so much in a phone, it makes sense to protect it from every day risks as best you can. This is the best one we have seen, and it does its job well. It is somewhat fiddly to get on and off, but you don't need to do that that often.

    I originally purchased the defender because I liked the color. I now love it because it not only looks good but keeps my phone very well protected. I've dropped it, accidentally banged and other accidents and the phone is still perfect. Thank you!!

    Got this for my husband's s5 and he loves it being a construction worker. He has dropped his phone several times and is happy to report that his phone is in perfect condition. Heck, he has even dropped it off a roof! Great product will buy again!

    The Defender series Otter Box provides great protection for your phone. My only criticism is the screen guard does not provide a clear surface to see through. If you are looking for an invisible screen protector, this is not the choice.

    Otter Box the Great Protector

    This is my second Otter Box Defender case. It kept my old phone looking like new. It also protected the phone from dings and dents from accidental drops. As rough as I am on phones this is very rugged and can handle rough situations. Any future phones will have an Otter Box Defender case protecting it. This is the best case for the price. The redesign of the holder belt clip makes getting in and out of vehicles a lot easier, not as bulky.

    Expensive but quality is good and the protection of the phone is excellent. Only drawback is that charge card accessories -- like the square or from other common services -- will not fully fit into phone unless the cover is removed.

    Phones can be very expensive! This is the best phone case that money can buy. The one and only phone case that I will buy. Very happy and still happy with the product. They even have a nice warranty from the manufacturer.

    I've had this case for about 2 years now and its still going strong! Regular cleaning and you'll keep this looking like new. Glad the S5 is at least a bit water resistant as this case does not fully enclose the phone.

    This is definitely a great protective box when the device is already water proof to an extent. This helps keep the device from being chipped or damaged from bumps!
