I love the color & weight of the case; however I dropped my phone the day after I purchased it & my screen cracked!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey Sherry! We’re sorry to hear about your damaged device. Our cases are very protective, but some variables can’t be predicted. We’re happy to send a new OtterBox product under our product warranty, but we are unable to extend our warranty to the device itself, as we are not the manufacturer. Please give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any questions or if you’d like a new case.
I have had a Defender Series Pro on my last three phones. My phone has been dropped from heights of 8-10ft on concrete, gravel, and grass and had nary a scratch. Most recently, the Defender cover fell into a firepit of glowing red-orange mesquite coals. It stayed in the coals about 10 seconds before it could be removed, and I rinsed it and wiped if off to check for damage. The is a little discoloration and a few pits the coals melted into, but overall, the cover still snaps onto my phone. Worn, but still works. Good job folks!!!
I would love the case if the rubber wouldn't get loose. But I got two of them and at the start they are awesome but after the rubber gets loose then it's annoying. So annoying that I am looking at alternatives to otterbox because these cases are like this year after year.

So far so good! It has a good grip and I like the all around protection. The cover for the charging port is necessary, even though it can be troublesome. That's not the fault of the case, it's "operator error". My son is a paramedic and this is the only case he uses.
