I'd like to start by saying that the box and screen are not bad, but that said, I was truly devastated when I found out my new phone didnt have a defender class case. I work in an industrial factory around a lot of heavy machines and sharp edges, I'm a very clumsy person, I wanted my otter box defender. But my phone is a J3 emerge and it doesn't get the defender. Call me insane, but I didn't think one of my phone requirements had to be check if this has a defender otter box or not. Sorry, but I hated tut, and I'm still not quite happy with the current box. Too slick and not enough protection.

Dear Lisa,
We so apologize that we do not carry the Defender case for the Galaxy J3 Emerge, and we're happy to pass your feedback along to our product design team for future consideration. Rest assured, the pairing of the Symmetry and Alpha Glass is still a very protective combination! Regardless, if you have any additional queries, please feel welcome to call our wonderful Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll always do what they can to assist.
The Otter Box screen was sold out during the holidays when I received my phone. I chose an available substitute. Three months later... I was able to order the Alpha Glass to compliment the Otter Box case I purchased with my phone. The Otter Box system for my J3 is HIGH quality, durable, and are designed to protect my phone.
I purchased an Otter Box for my S3 about 6 years ago. My phone finally died and when we went to buy new phones for my wife and I, I was insistent in getting an Otter Box to protect my new phone. When I take my S3 out of the Otter Box I purchased 6 years ago, it surprises everyone I show it to. Even though my phone has been dropped several times, the S3 still looks like it is brand new and I owe that to the Otter Box it has been safely protected in for so many years.
Bought last week.. broke the next day with a minor drop on the rug!- son has phone so I can’t send image
I would recommend this to a friend!
