I absolutely love this case. I had an Otterbox on a previous model phone and liked it (it was the Commuter series) but it was a little bulky. When I got my new Pixel, I got talked into buying a sleek case at the phone store and I stupidly thought that it would be fine. I proceeded to drop my phone a couple times on my cement garage floor and had to have it replaced once. Decided I needed another Otterbox case so I ordered this Defender Series case and love it! Super thankful I switched to another Otterbox as I just knocked my phone off my standing desk! Phone is totally fine! It is not super sleek but it protects like nothing else!
Also - love the color as it stands out better in my purse or workout bag, My husband ordered the black one and love it too!
Had to return item. Defender was not right for iPhone 7; phone rattled around in case not a proper fit. Camera lens slot was blocked for selfies. And once in case there was no access for home button !!!! .No stars !!!!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Chuck,
We're sorry to hear that this Defender series did not end up working out well for you! Unfortunately, the case purchased is actually only compatible with the Google Pixel 5" device, which explains the misalignment and improper fit. We apologize for any miscommunication surrounding this, and we're glad that our friendly Otters have already launched a return for you.
If you are still looking for superior protection for your iPhone 7, we do have a Defender case that is specifically built for that phone. Feel free to check it out via the link below, and give us a call at 1-855-688-7269 with any further questions!
There are so-called rugged cases and then there is OtterBOX Defender. I used to use Griffin cases, bud they had some pretty weak spots in inner frame around charging ports that break again and again on every new case.
