Quality case, but to plug it into/or onto a tripod or other device for filming video requires the entire case to be take off, which is not ideal. Ended up tossing it and getting a new one.

Hello! We are so sorry to hear you were unable to use the case with specialty videography equipment. Please reach out to our CS Team by phone or via chat if you still have questions or if we can troubleshoot any solutions with you!
This OtterBox case is step down from previous Defender cases. The edge protection is much shallower, allowing shorter objects to contact the screen. The rubber case is thinner and less pliable. It does allow wireless charging much more easily than previous versions, but it just looks and feels cheaper. (And I’ve scratched my screen. Last iPhone had for 6 years with no scratches.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello! The new and improved designed cases work seamlessly with Apple's new camera control button on the Apple iPhone 16 line of cases. Our engineering team not only found that the new notch does not diminish the drop protection of the case, we also re-engineered these cases to be Drop+ 7x rated. Please give our CS Team a call, or reach out to us via chat, and we are happy to help with any other questions or concerns you may have.
