After having a few days of using the phone without the case, sweet freedom are the joyful words that came after putting the case on the phone. The phone is protected and so comfortable in the hand with the Otter Case in use.
I bought this case for my new Google Pixel XL and it fits perfect. My only concern is that I just hope that Otterbox fixed the silicone around the phone so it doesn't warp like all previous cases.
Keen to preserve my expensive new phone I decided to invest in the Defender. I wanted a case that would last as long as the 24 month contract I have just signed and I had specific misgivings about my phone's lack of waterproofing.
After my first week with the Otterbox Defender I am very happy with my choice. The case is cleverly designed and well made. It feels tough and secure without looking like a piece of military field equipment.
I'm not sure if I'll ever use the clip/stand thing but I'll keep it handy, just in case.
For every phone I've owned it is wrapped in an OtterBox case. Recently I purchased the plum/coral box for my new Google Pixel XL 2. I also purchased a black box for my old Google Pixel XL which I'm giving to a family member. I had a pink case for it but ordered the black since he isn't into pink, lol! Obviously, I love my OtterBox's! Seems that the OtterBox always outlives my cell phone, so you know it's great! Just a suggestion to OtterBox...it would be fantastic if a screen protector came with every box. I wouldn't mind paying extra for it personally. On a personal note: The Google phone is the only phone to own in my opinion. Between a Google phone and an OtterBox you will have the greatest combination! For me...I only buy OtterBox and have found nothing that even comes close! I hope this helps! Cheers! ;o)
this is my second otterbox, loved the first one, was finally able to get a second one. Never had any issues with my other one. Looks nice, good and sturdy.
