I love Otterbox, great product typically. But I’m not really impressed with the design of the defender w/pop socket for the iPhone 11. It protects the phone great, but with the embedded pop socket isn’t usable in the holder and falls repeatedly.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi there!
We're sorry to hear about your frustration with your Otter + Pop Defender Series case! We appreciate your feedback, and we'll be sure to get it passed along to our design team. Since that PopSocket was inset further into the case in order to lay a bit flatter with the back of the case, you may find the best user experience if you pop out that PopTop halfway when using the car mount.
If you run into any other issues with your case, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at 1-855-688-7269, and we can get you taken care of.
I put one of the removable pop thingies on my iphone X cover and it worked great. I figured a built-in pop socket would be perfect. NOT!! Not only is it uncomfortable and causes pressure points on my fingers, it also does not work as a kickstand. The phone just falls over.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there!
We're sorry to hear that your Otter + Pop Defender Series case has left you feeling unhappy! We appreciate your thoughts about the PopSocket being uncomfortable to hold on to, and we'll be sure to get it passed up the ladder to our Case Design Otters in the lab! When it comes to using that case as a stand, we usually suggest pulling the PopTop all the way out, then angling one side up. This allows you to use the side that's still popped out as the stand for your phone. Additionally, we recommend having the camera-side of your phone down and close to the stable surface.
Please give us a ring at 1-855-688-7269 if you run into any other issues with your case.
I bought this case and was super excited to use it one my iphone11. However, when I use the pop socket it does not prop up the phone. Huge disappointment considering how expensive this product was. I will not be purchasing your product or recommending it any further

The biggest thing I noticed Is the pop socket doesnt feel like a regular pop socket. It doesn’t open up as far as a regular one would. If you have larger fingers may feel like a tight fit.

Hi, Daniel!
We're sorry to hear about the frustration that you've had with your Otter + Pop Defender Series case! In order to have the PopTop sit more flush with the case, it was inset a bit more than if it was simply adhered to the back of a case. We appreciate your feedback, and we'll be sure to get your feedback passed up the ladder to our design team. If you run into any other issues with your case, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at 1-855-688-7269, and we can get you helped out.
Really like my otter box! Once I found them, I always get them when I get a new phone. They are very sturdy and colorful and don’t slip in my hand. I’m giving this one a 4 because the pop is not centered on the back. It is off balance when I try to use it as a stand for my phone.. Other than that it is just what I wanted.
When I ordered my new iPhone 11 I got a clear case so you could see the color...didn’t feel like I had any protection so I went back to Otterbox Defender as I’ve always felt secure with it! Love the built in pop socket, adds a bit of security when holding the phone and texting, viewing email, etc. I do wish the defender would be offered in cuter colors or patterns
I bought two of these for my children. I've been buying and supporting otterbox cases for over ten years. Their cases cannot be matched. The price is a bit steep and to not include a clip, I feel isn't fair.
