For the most part I love my Defender. I don't have to worry if (and when) my two year old gets ahold of it. I know that it is protected from sticky fingers and drops. I even had my 90lb Lab step on it and it was just fine! The only thing I don't like is that I keep getting little pieces of dust/dirt stuck between the screen of my phone and the protective screen. All in all I have been very satisfied.
The case is very protective of the phone and looks great. I bought this cover for a Bosox fan and he loves it. He shows it off to other people, especially Yankees fans.
