I’ve always used otter boxes with my IPhones. I used the water proof one with my iPhone 5, and have used the defender cases since the iPhone 6 came out. I put my iPhone 6 through heck and back and it has always kept my phone in tact. With my iPhone 6 I always popped off the screen protector from the case because I didn’t like the gap, so having a screen less case is actually perfect. It works well and doesn’t negatively affect the iPhone X experience. Good quality case, as always in my opinion. Would highly recommend to anyone.
