Unlike Otterbox cases I have had in the past, this case does not have enough of a lip to protect the protective glass screen I purchased at the same time. A drop on a flat smooth surface & the $50 glass protection must be replaced. Now I need to find a better case and glass screen for my new phone. An expensive case that didn’t work.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

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 reach out to us via chat with any questions or if you would like a new case.
It does not come with a protective screen so wasn’t full protection.

Hello! Our engineers removed the built-in screen protector from our Defender Series case to ensure complete functionality with the newest devices. Our Defender Series was redesigned in order to provide the same drop protection even without the built-in screen protector. The addition of one of our amazing screen protection options provides your phone with premium protection and outperforms our previous Defender Series designs.
Really great protection for my new phone! Fits like a glove, and all the function buttons are still easily accessible and easy to use. Love that it came with a QR code that allowed me to order a free phone clip for belt use or to attach to anything else, even has a built in kickstand!
