Highly disappointed!!!!!!

I can not believe what a disappointment this case has been. All of my apple products are protected by otterbox products, but the fact that it didn't protect my husband's Samsung phone, has made me rethink purchasing anything otterbox in the future. My husband dropped his phone on the ground, and his phone landed on the corner of the otterbox. The glass on his phone shattered. Now, his phone has trouble working correctly. I would not recommend this product.
Cons: Low quality, Not durable
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is a very good case. It gives excellent protection to my phone. I accidently dropped my phone on pavement. I was very nervous I had killed my phone but to my surprise it was fine. The case didn't even have a scratch on it.
Pros: High quality, Durable
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love the case. Very durable and sturdy. I wish it came in more colors for this particular phone. My son really wanted a blue case, but it didn't come in that color. There are only 2 colors available for this model phone.
Pros: High quality, Durable
Cons: only comes in 2 colors
I would recommend this to a friend!

I'm not super hard on my phone, but I do drop it... a lot, and my Otter Box has kept my phone safe and sound. It's nice being able to not freak out every time my phone flies out of my hands or pocket for some unexpected reason.
As always, there is a trade-off for great protection, the power on/off button is more difficult to push (not like this really hinders life in any way).
Also, if you want to text using the "swipe" way (slide your finger from letter to letter and let the phone decide what word you're saying) you have to push harder because the screen protector pushes up a little and if you don't put enough pressure you'll end up with a bunch of short words that make no sense instead of the long word you were going for because your finger will have lost contact with the screen and your phone will have thought there were spaces where you intended none. (I hope that made sense) However, this problem gets exponentially better the longer you have the case because you break it in and get used to the new feel of everything. I hardly have this problem anymore after having my case for two weeks.

Overall, totally worth it! I just went outside, threw my phone above the roof of the second story of my house straight up, watched it land, and had no worries it would be fine. And it is!
Pros: High quality, Durable
I would recommend this to a friend!

The latch on the clip does not line up with the phone protector very well you have to fiddle with it to get it to latch. The case protects the phone well.
Pros: Durable
Cons: the latch does not line up with the case very well
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is my second Otter box. i hope to never use a different brand. It is durable and looks nice. The phone gets dropped regularly and both cases from Otterbox have kept my phones well protected. i also like it that i don't have to push the buttons hard to get them to respond.
Pros: High quality, Durable, looks nice. not too bulky.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The case is good. The only problem I have is how it fits with the holster. I had an Otterbox for an Iphone 4, and with that, you could clip or unclip the phone without having to look at it. With this one, I need to look at it each time I take the phone in or out of the holster, otherwise it will fall out when I'm walking. It also doesn't clip in all that easily, and sometimes will feel like it's secured when really it isn't.
Pros: Durable
Cons: awkward holster
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
