We are an Otterbox family. My son just got his first phone and it went right from the box into an Otterbox. We always been very happy with their products and we have never had a cracked screen or a broken phone in the 8 years we’ve been using them. Great job Otterbox!
This is my second Otterbox Defender iPhone cover. I work in the wild and accidentally dropped my previously protected iPhone 5 on sharp rocks several times. The only damage was a small scrape on the clear screen of its Otterbox Defender. Since I work in nature, I wanted a cover that would stand out -- the only thing available at the time was a sort of salmon pink cover. I received a lot of grief over the color, but I NEVER lost my phone while other co-workers did lose phones with more "manly" covers. (Seriously, taking a "camo" covered phone into nature is like asking to lose it) So fast forward to the present, when I upgraded my iPhone to an 8, the decision to go with a bright pink phone cover was an easy one. I may get grief from co-workers, but I know my phone won't be damaged by accidental drops and won't be lost in the wild.
This is the second Defender series cover i bought for my phone. The only reason I had to buy another was I bought a new iphone. The cover on my old iphone had been protecting my phone for 3+ years, and still looks great. Never had an issue with any breakage on my phone when it was dropped either.
I bought this case about a week ago, when it came it was a very pretty pink! After about a day the case was noticeably darker on the rims. Then about 5 days into it my phone case is more of a greyish pink. I am disappointed I spent lots of money on it and I barley touch my phone so I don’t know how it got that dirty.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey Rottenpesto,
We're bummed to see that this Defender slipcover went from 'Pretty in Pink' to 'Grungy in Grey!' Occasionally, our lighter case designs can pick up different elements, depending on what they're exposed to on an everyday basis. In the future, we might suggest browsing styles that incorporate darker hues.
Regardless, our stylish Otters would love to get you into a spotless new replacement, so please don't hesitate to call them up at 1-855-688-7269. They'll fashion up a warranty claim in no time at all!
