The part you have to pull open to charge your is quite stiff but I assume will "wear" over time making it a little easier to open. But overall I'm always satisfied with OtterBox cases. I drop my phone often and its never been damaged.
Great case. Would recommend to anyone, but when it comes to individuality they need to come up with more colors to mix and match with.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is by far the best case for protecting your phone. I've dropped it several times on concrete with zero issues (not possible with those glass screens). However, the touch screen loses some sensitivity and the touch home button/fingerprint touch ID function is pretty much useless with this case so be prepared to manually type in your password every single time for the phone itself and any apps
I always use the defender series to protect my phones and tablets. I was not disappointed. The color is beautiful and just how it's pictured online. My daughter was very happy to receive.
