    I must say that the case itself works good if you drop your phone but small debris can still enter the holes between the screen protector and the phone screen itself causing small scratches on both.

      Hi Shaun,

      We’re glad that the Defender is protecting your Galaxy S5 when it is dropped. We are sorry that debris is finding a way past its perimeter though. This is not typical and we certainly want to help out. Please give our helpful Otters a call at 1-855-419-7417, and we will be happy to replace that OtterBox through our warranty.

      Best,
      OtterBox Customer Service Team otterbox

    The plastic glass cover allows trash to get in and I can't get it removed in order to clean it. I'm going to have to take it into Best Buy to get them to help me get it off. I think I broke the glass trying to remove it.

    Bought the otter box with phone and sheild. The seal for the otter box on the bottom, fell off and is not covered under warranty or by best buy. Don't. Waste your money on otter box

    I had high expectations for this phone case after reading the reveiws, but it does not live up to the hype. After a month of everyday use my cute pink case is absolutely filthy, stained and uncleanable. I really thought otterbox made a better product. It will do a great job protecting your phone, as long as you don't care about the looks!

    The case would not fit the S5 active because the phone is bigger than the regular S5.

      Hi linamedina,

      We’re sorry that this Defender is making it difficult for people to hear you. This is not at all normal and we certainly want to get to the bottom of this problem. As long as there isn’t any debris blocking the microphone port people should be able to hear you loud and clear!

      Try removing the phone and make sure there is no problem when the case is not installed. If there isn’t an audio issues without the case then reinstall the case and check if there is any improvement after the re-installation.

      If the problem persists please give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-419-7417, and we will be happy to get a warranty replacement arranged for you.

      Best,
