At 83+ I've come to understand what "losing your grip" really means, and my slick smart phone was a particular challenge! I like the grip-friendly surface of the Otterbox case. The bright color (I bought the aqua/plum version) is bright and easy to spot in my purse too, another plus.
Last summer 2017, I was holding my grandson's phone and my phone. His phone was slipping and he has an otterbox protector but his phone began to fall so I moved to catch his phone and my phone that did not have an otterbox cover fell and the screen cracked. My grandson said "La, you should have let my phone fall it has the protector cover on it. Yours has nothing, but as soon as I save up I am going to get you one of these covers." So I purchased a new phone and I purchased my Otterbox protector!! I feel if my phone should take a fall it will be safe from cracking all up...
Bought this product and it's useless. Worst product by Otterbox.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've had this otter box for about 2 weeks. I am glad i have it, but its not as grippy as the otter box case for my Motorola moto E 2nd gen. It's slipped out of my hands and my husband's hands on a couple occasions already. Its a good thing they have shock absorption. Also, i don't like the color combinations available for this model. I can't have black, because my husbands is black. We need to tell the difference between phones.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hey there Lizamae,
While we're glad to hear that your phone is protected from drops, we apologize that the sleek design seems to be the reason that it's falling. At this time, the Achiever is the only style of case that we have available for that specific device, but we are happy to pass along any feedback to our product design team for future consideration! In the meantime, should you have any further questions, please feel welcome to call our awesome Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be happy to help!
