This slip cover collects dirt. Not sure if it's the color or the material.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Jvcomfy,
We’re sorry that this slipcover is getting dirty. This is understandably disappointing and we certainly want to help out!
We always suggest cleaning our products using mild soap and water (never with abrasive or corrosive cleaners that may damage the case). If this doesn’t clear things up, please feel free to give our color-conscious Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 and we will be happy to assist in any way that we can!
Previously, I had the Defender Shell/Slip Cover/Holster with my iPhone 6. So, when I upgraded to the iPhone 7, I had to have the same Defender Case. The rubber Slip Cover and Holster (both sold separately) have saved my iPhones from damage, more times than I can count. In addition, there's no need to purchase an expensive screen cover because the Plastic Shell (case) incorporates one in its design. Though it's not waterproof, I clip my iPhone to my motorcycle (while riding) and the Defender Shell (and rubber Slip Cover) do a great job at protecting my iPhone from the elements. Bottom line: I wouldn't own an iPhone without the Defender Plastic Shell, Slip Cover, and Swivel Holster to protect it.
I bought the defender build your own case for my granddaughter. I was very disappointed with what I received. I think the otterbox website should point out that there will be no packaging such as you would see if you were buying from a retailer. No guarantee materials either, altogether it looked like trash

Hey SanPM,
We're truly sorry to hear that the packaging for your newest OtterBox Defender caused some uncertainty! Occasionally, some of our separate case parts are packaged differently in order to save on materials and reduce a negative impact on the environment. The good news is that, even with different packaging, that case should keep the iPhone safe and secure for a long time to come! If you have any additional questions on this, please feel welcome to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be thrilled to help out!
