I ordered the wrong size for my phone and sent it right back, so this is not a performance review. I might not have kept it if it had been the right size. It's much thicker than the Otterbox I'm replacing and would be a tight squeeze in my pockets or fanny pack. For those who want a heftier and stronger case, this might be great.

Great protective case for an older phone. This is my second purchasing this product. The prior case lasted about 5 years with no issues.

Been using otter box cases for over 15 years saved my phone from many drops and scrapes. The holster works great also

Great fit. A little tight at first but seals well. Good protection for phone (case and screen). The control buttons (volume and power) are stiff at first and require deliberate activation. They do loosen up a bit over time.

The cover makes actually typing difficult. No matter how light or firmly l touch the letters, l have to do it over and over and keep watching what l've typed bc of it not typing the letter.

This is my fourth otter box purchase for two different phones, the only reason for the second phone is that otter box kept the phone in such pristine condition but couldn't save it from becoming outdated.

This is my 2nd Otterbox. Handsome case! The first one lasted 10 years.

This case is just what I needed to protect my phone. I seem to be dropping it less since this case is not slick and is easy to hold on to.

Great service and great product! Also had a Defender for my iPhone 6S. It was perfect protection for doing forestry work!

solid protection against drop and moisture damage. It's the second one that I've owned and it lasts and lasts.

I have worn out my old Otterbox as the charging port seal finally just broke off.I got a new cover and am not as happy with the buttons on it. I am 80 years old and my wife and have a extreme hard time pressing the power and volume buyyons!

A little too thick and heavy, but otherwise great.

Very good case, but don't care for the "plastic" screen protector! Cut mine out and installed my own screen protector.

I once inadvertently tested how well OtterBox works. I've got one of my iPhones on the trunk of my car was going about 50 miles an hour when I realized what I had done just in time to see it fly off. The phone survived and I went bought another otter box.

All Good; Service was great and the case was much improved over past Defender cases.

Good case, although I chose the wrong one! I was thinking I got the same case I had personally. Just clicked the button to quickly. Not realizing I got the defender case.

The design is defective since unless you cut off the tab which covers the charging port, it destroys the case. Specifically the opening and closing of the tab loosens the gasket around the base of the phone and within a short time causes the case to break. You would think that otter would know that but if your warranty is just a Ponzi scheme you probably don't care

Very useful and protective wrap for my 2020 SE iphone. The soft hinge at the base of the phone for charging seeks a re-design, in my opinion. The bend-up/push down of the soft hinge will likely break off with time. I have no solution for that suggested improvement.

Love my new Defender series otter box for my SE 3rd generation. I had one for over 7 years, really protected my phone. My first defender series was in 2015, my phone was on the bumper of my F150 and was run over a couple of times while my husband was backing our boat in. The only thing on that phone that was damaged was the screen, the shell of the phone was still intact, the otter box was scuffed and scratched, got a new Pink one (Real Tree). I tried to find a PINK defender for my upgraded phone, none available, so I got blue! Miss the PINK though.

Good phone case but could do without the additional screen protector attached to the case. Makes it hard to type on the phone.

Great case, very protective, but the power port cover doesn't open wide enough, which makes it difficult to plug in.

Pretty and durable. When it comes to protecting the one thing that keeps up with you and contains all your information, why would you get cheap on that? Get something that will actually protect your phone from drops bops and thuds. Get an otter box.

Was surprised upon receiving as this was much different than my old otter but quickly adapted and the protection is awesome!

Great product, wish I had bought one sooner.

Really like this product. Control buttons are so much more responsive than previous product. Touch screen is also more responsive. Product seems to offer almost complete protection. Everything but being water proof. I still feel confident using it outdoors in the elements. Previous cover was waterproof, but I feel otterbox is superior in design.
Great case!

Accidentally left phone on trunk and drove off. The phone stayed on the car for a time then flew off and landed on the side of the road about a mile from home. The case was hardly scratched at all and the phone is perfectly fine!! Wonderful case and thankful for it!
