Being hard on phones, I wouldn't put my phone in anything else. Ive had a smartphone since they came out and everyone of them had had an Otterbox protecting it.
This is my third defender pro case from Otter box and it is awesome. I don't panic if I drop my phone because I know this case is going to provide the maximum proteciton I can get
My outer black clip case broke in under a month of use

We're sorry to see (literally) that the holster of your Defender Series Pro Case has sustained such damage during its first month on the job, but the good news is that it won't be a problem for our handy Otters to help fix things up with a brand-new warranty replacement to make sure everything is properly dialed in going forward!
Just drop us a line at 1-855-688-7269 or through the link below and we'll be glad to help get one in the works!
