Hi there!
We're sorry to hear that you're feeling let down with your new Defender Series Pro! While that case is compatible with Qi charging pads, the case is not compatible with the full lineup of MagSafe accessories. That being said, we have a sizeable lineup of OtterBox cases that we designed specifically to interact with Apple's MagSafe ecosystem. Those cases are coming soon to Apple and OtterBox.com! Sign up for email updates about those cases here: https://www.otterbox.com/en-us/iphone-12-pro?prefn1=featuresRefinements&prefv1=MagSafe
not designed well. plastic shell interferes with the screen protector on the phone. should have gone with regular defender or another brand.

Hi Andy,
We're so sorry to hear this. Just to clarify, what kind of screen protector are you using? We don't recommend using third-party screen protectors with our cases just because we can't guarantee compatibility between the two.
We'd like to learn more about your situation so we can figure out the best way to help. Please feel free to contact us through our website under "How Can We Help You?" and select "General Questions." bit.ly/ContactOtter

Hi there!
We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with your Defender Series Pro! While that case isn’t designed for optimal performance with MagSafe accessories, we have a full lineup of cases intentionally built to interact with Apple's MagSafe ecosystem. Check those cases out here: https://www.otterbox.com/en-us/iphone-12-pro?prefn1=featuresRefinements&prefv1=Made%20for%20MagSafe
Keep in mind, that case is designed to be compatible with Qi charging, so a regular wireless charger should lead to better results. We suggest OtterBox wireless chargers for the best experience charging in this case!
I bought this thinking that it would use the the magnetic charging feature of the iPhone 12. It doesn’t. Nowhere in the labeling does it state that a product designed exclusively for a product would not enable its use.
Also the piece of paper included in the box, presumably to indicate regulatory compliance, must be read with a microscope. Why bother including it in the box if it can’t be read.
Clearly you have lost my confidence in your integrity.
The case appears acceptable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Steve,
We are sorry for the confusion with your OtterBox purchase. Although the iPhone 12 Pro Defender Series Case will work with Qi wireless charging, it was not made for MagSafe specific features. Below is a link that will take you to all of our made for MagSafe cases.
Long line of Otterbox cases used on our phones, a go to for us. What we love is the added protection and grip of this case. What we wish were improved or just removed on the Defender case is the charging plug cover now that the phones are waterproof, and then narrow the bezel or remove it from the glass all together so you can easily use all the hand gestures.
They sent me a small box the doesn’t fit my phone But the box has both IPhone 12 and IPhone 12 Pro written on it. They should have known that 12 and 12 pro are not the same size phones
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey there! We apologize for any inconvenience you've had with your recent purchase of the Defender Series Pro case. However, this case is compatible with both the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro. If you're noticing this case won't fit your device, is it possible you have the iPhone 12 Pro Max? This device is larger than both the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro. We'd like to try and help get to the bottom of this for you. Please give our customer service team a call at 1-855-688-7269 for further assistance.
