Disappointed
on January 13, 2017
Posted by: Ohcouurt
I've had this for a couple of months. Worked great at first but then I started to notice that my phone would die a lot faster, resulting that I would need to use the case more often. Then a month of so later, I noticed that when I turned the case on, my phone battery would go from 40% to 1% then would cut off. When I would turn the case off my phone would then turn on. Since then I have taken the case off my phone. My phone now needs to be changed multiple times throughout the day because it doesn't stay changed. At 40% the phone cuts off and then will turn back on after being plugged in. I believe this case sucked the life out of my phone because I had no issues until I started using the case. Save your money. It's not worth it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The good and bad

The case looks nice and has protected through a few drops already. The reason I have dropped my phone is because the case is slippery and I am used to the stickiness of the Defender case. It does give you an extra charge to use later, but when you charge your phone through the case, the phone charge doesn't last nearly as long as if you charged your phone without the case. I want to charge my phone outside the case but since putting the case on my phone, I CAN'T get it off!!!! Still trying:) The resurgence gives you extra time to use your phone over and above a regular phone charge but it's not TWICE as much because of the phone charge being lessened.
Pros: looks sharp
Cons: hard to get case off

The case is great for power and good for protection but thats only if you can hold on to it. It is so slippery, the protection better be good because you keep dropping it.
Pros: recharging
Cons: slippery
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We appreciate your feedback!
We take drop protection very seriously and our cases go through a variety of tests to ensure they are drop proof. We recommend checking out our YouTube video which shows the iPhone 5 version of Resurgence case.
We perform the same tests on the iPhone 6 version of the case.
See Video: http://youtu.be/BjVmyo_H_OM?list=PL6EHkFIg0sfa5tdwxPhMLHonoVI6lzEMC
If you have any further questions about our cases, our customer service team would be happy to help! They can be reached at 1-855-688-7269.
My review numbers boil down to, I can't believe they didn't use the lightning connecting to charge the case. I mean I have all these accessories in my vehicles and at home with apples lightning connection and none of them will charge this case. I have to carry 2 cables now. Such a simple solution would be to use the same connection that charges the phone to charge the case. That would take this product from average, to the best.
So Disappointed.
Pros: High quality, Durable
Cons: connection
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Deestrong,
Thanks so much for the great feedback. We will definitely get this passed to the design/engineering department for future consideration. Charge connections aside, we hope you get electrifying enjoyment from your new OtterBox Resurgence Case for the iPhone 6!
The unit I received was an OBF and I had to return it which was disappointing because I was looking forward to using the device. It's very nice looking and added less bulk/weight to my phone then I expected. On a positive note, the return process was very easy.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi atrek12,
We were sorry to hear that the OtterBox Resurgence for the iPhone 6 didn’t work out for you, especially considering that you had great anticipation about the case. Was there something specific that was, or was not happening, that caused you to return it? Anything that we could possibly address, or even see if we could get you into a different unit? Please give us a call at 1-855-688-7269, and we’d be happy to try and turn things around for you on this.
Best, OtterBox Customer Service Team

JUNK!

I was excited to see the words MIL SPEC on this item. Lets just say the excitement subsided very quickly once I got it in my hands. First off, NO belt clip included or even made for this case. Second, NO screen protection with this case. Third, NO covers for any of the ports on your phone. This may be a great case for people that work in an office environment but if you work outdoors or in dirty conditions do your phone a favor and avoid this case at all costs.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Chief730,
Sorry to hear that you’re, well, let’s say, underwhelmed with the OtterBox Resurgence. Given what it seems you were looking for, we would definitely suggest the OtterBox Defender Series over the Resurgence for your needs. Here’s a quick link to that model right here on our site, and if you purchased the Resurgence directly from us, we can set up a return on that item. Just give us a call at 1-855-688-7269, and we'll see how we can get you into something that will turn this around for you.
tough rugged durable dependable the reputation of otterbox is unapproachable and on top of all this, it will recharge your phone? i must have died and gone to technology heaven this is the best $100 i have ever spent and it will be for you as well...
