The holster for the iPhone 10 is very flimsy. Although I have only had the case for 2 weeks and it has not broken yet, but I expect that it will. My challenge to you is to compare the iPhone 3 holster (which I still have) to the iPhone 10 holster. You can easily feel the difference in the quality.

Hi Jimmy,
Sorry to hear that you're feeling less than confident in the iPhone X belt clip holster! As new devices are released, we tend to update our products accordingly, which normally results in more streamlined case designs. Rest assured, the Defender series is just as tough as ever! Please also keep in mind that we're happy to replace any damaged products under our warranty, including belt clips. Don’t hesitate to call our reliable Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll always be willing to help!
I bought this a few weeks ago and I am glad I did. It’s a little heavy but it protects my IPhone X perfectly. It’s feminine and dainty just what I wanted. You won’t go wrong.
Bought a month ago fir my new iPhone. The side button to turn on and off is very hard to press...it is not an easy task. Also received a Weather Tech cup/phone holder as a gift for the car and the width of the Xs phone does not fit with the Otter Defender cover. Very disappointed
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey Ricky,
Sorry to hear that your Defender is getting a little too loose for your liking! Here at OtterBox, we like our products to hug the sides of the phone tightly in order to provide the ultimate protection, and we would love to get that rubber silicone replaced via our warranty. Please feel welcome to give our friendly Otters a quick call at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll do what they can to help!
Took forever to get my phone to slide into the case. Port overs for on/off switch and battery charger are super hard to open and close -- most likely will have to cut them off. Won't be buying Otter again.

I paid for the case very expensive to transport it to my country via priority mail. No protective case and class on this case comparing it with iPhone 7 case .

Dear Yiannos,
We truly apologize that you're feeling so disappointed by our screenless approach to the iPhone X Defender series case! We deliberately decided to forego the traditional built-in screen protector in order to provide full, undisturbed access to the beautifully curved phone display. If you're still looking for a little extra protection upfront, so to speak, we would recommend our Alpha Glass screen protector, which will pair perfectly with your Defender case! Don't hesitate to check it out via the first link below, and if you have any additional questions, please feel free to follow the second link to submit a support request. Our friendly Otters are always glad to provide assistance!
