Brand easily. This is my third replacement. Holster clip breaks. Holster crwcked. Third time corner of holster broke and phone could not stay inside holster. Screen crwcked when phone fell from holster.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

That's a rough string of experiences with the Defender Series holster, and we're very sorry that recurring damage to that component has somehow been a thing. Not only that, but the ensuing result involving your iPhone's display is obviously the most regrettable aspect of all this.
Unfortunately, our warranty won't be able to help with device repairs or replacement, but we would definitely be happy to work with you on a new case solution going forward. Please feel welcome to give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 and we'll go from there.
Though it was advertised for an iPhone 12, it was way too large for my iPhone 12; had to return!

It's really odd that you had such trouble with the fit of this Defender Series holster, as it's definitely the one that was engineered for use with the iPhone 12. Well, we should clarify that it was designed to hold the Defender Series case that holds the iPhone 12 within. You weren't by any chance attempting to use the holster without the case, were you?
Regardless, you've moved on, but if we can ever be of any Otter assistance down the road, please do feel welcome to give us a call at 1-855-688-7269, and we'll always be happy to help!
The recent shield protectors are slightly larger than iPhone

Thanks for the heads-up on the Otter struggles you're currently having. We were a bit confused about if you were trying to use the Defender Series holster from the picture directly with your iPhone rather than with the rest of the case. That would certainly explain the wonky fit, but perhaps we're misunderstanding the situation.
Please do feel welcome to give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 so we can get a firm grasp on what's what, and we'll be glad to help make sure you have a great experience going forward!
Poor quality. Definitely not the same as 2 years ago
