I bought the otterbox defender series with the pop socket. After about two days the pop socket ripped right off the back of the case when I went to pull it out.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Verified Purchase:Yes
This case is too thick to allow wireless charging. I would not buy this again if I had the choice. Get one of the cases without the pop socket built in.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there!
We're sorry to hear about your frustrations with wireless charging in your Otter + Pop Defender Series case! We usually do suggest removing the PopTop for the best charging experience. Additionally, you will tend to find better results when you're charging your phone in the flat orientation, as most non-OtterBox wireless charging stands won't line up properly with the coils of your phone while in a Defender Series case in the vertical position. If you continue to have issues with your charger, give us a ring at 1-855-688-7269, and we can get you helped out.
We purchased it for my new iPhone & I love it. I have been using Otter cases since I started using the iPhone years ago. I am always pleased with the quality, look, and protection for my phone.
It didn't come with an installation instructions and the video on the website wouldn't play. I googled and found a video on youtube from a non otterbox youtuber
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi there!
We're sorry to hear about any frustration with installing your Otter + Pop Defender Series case! We appreciate your feedback about the installation instructions, and we'll be sure to pass your thoughts up the ladder. If you ever have difficulties with a case in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at 1-855-688-7269, and we'd be more than happy to get you helped out.
I got the grey and the lemon pop socket because I got the yellow iPhone. I didn't know it came with a grey pop socket on the case, too. Let's be honest, phones these days are so large and heavy that the pop socket does NOT prop them up either vertically or horizontally. It's more for hand comfort.
So many compliments on the Pop Defender case! I only wish they had a clear case option in this style to show off my new color phone. Instructions on how to install would have been nice since this is my first Defender, had to look up on You Tube. Overall, super happy with my purchase and confident that my case is protecting my investment.
