Hi Zeb9,
Yikes, this doesn't sound like the epic experience that we envisioned for the Defender series! We apologize that the belt clip broke so quickly, but not to worry - our awesome Otters are ready to hook you up with a brand new replacement. Just give them a ring at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll process a warranty claim in no time at all!
While the phone enclosure is excellent, the belt clip is a weak point. I've already placed it once and it's broken again. The second time it broke, I was just getting in the car and it brushed up against the seat and snapped. I doubt I'l spend the money to replace it again. If you're going to do any work with it clipped to your belt, I strongly suggest you take it off before doing anything that involves working on the ground, or remove it before getting in your vehicle.

Hi JB42,
We're bummed to see that you've experienced two broken belt clips for that Defender series! For future reference, please keep in mind that we are willing to replace any damaged products under our warranty - including belt clip holsters. Just call our awesome Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be happy to hook you up!
I bought an Otterbox for the 1st time when I picked up my X, I like it but a couple of months later one of the ears broke off the belt holster, disappointing.
Same quality as I have come to expect from Otter Box. I have never used anything other than otter box. DOES NOT include a screen protector. For the price one should be included. I will not be buying another one without a screen protector included.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hey Txcheddar,
We apologize that you're not totally loving the screenless style of this Defender series! We purposely decided to not include a built-in screen protector on this design in order to offer full, uninterrupted access to the curved display. Any sort of integrated shield could potentially cause a decrease in touch response, which is not the sort of seamless experience that we're going for!
For those that are looking for additional protection and peace of mind upfront, so to speak, we do offer an Alpha Glass screen protector that matches perfectly with the Defender case. Please feel free to check it out via the link below, and give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any further questions!
The phone doesn’t fit in the holder. It’s an IPhone 10 and it’s too small for the holder. You didn’t say you had to gave an IPhone protector made by otter to fit in the holder.

Hey None,
Our sincerest apologies for any miscommunication surrounding this Defender series holster. True, that belt clip does have to be used in conjunction with the Defender case itself in order to fit the iPhone X/Xs, since the holster clips into either side of the case to create a secure connection. The belt clip does come with the Defender, but we also sell it separately since customers occasionally like to customize their case or buy spare parts. Feel free to follow the link below to check out the full Defender case!
If you have any additional questions or comments surrounding this, please don't hesitate to call our awesome Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be glad to further assist you.
I’ve always used otter box, this case has a good grip as to not fall out of your hands when using, very protective, and I drop my phone ALOT, never had damage to my phone
