I bought the defender pro for iphone 17 pro max. The inner case is flimsy as it moves when u hold it hard like it is not very strong. The quality has depreciated immensely for the price we pay for Otterbox
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have been using Otterbox products for my mobile devices for years, and continue to go back to them whenever I upgrade to a new device. As expected, my current device is doing what's expected with regard to drop protection. The problem I am having with it is; inconsistent connection to qi charging devices. I don't know if the case I have is defective, or not. I have to be very precise with placement, but even that is no guarantee off consistent connectivity. I have been using Magfast charging devices and have never had this issue before.
there's not gonna be anything better out there....

I just traded in my iphone 12 pro max, with the otterbox screen protector & a defender case. It's been dropped, alot, over the years that I had that phone. Not a scratch, chip, crack, nothing different about that phone than the day I got it. I wouldn't go with any other case & screen protector.
Not a tight fitting case. I can pull my phone out of the case without unclamping the inner case. Was expecting something more Taylor fit to my device.
