I purchased the outter box for my granddaughter. iPhones are very slick, easy to slip out ot their hands. Preteens or teens like to carry their phones in their hands. Protecting the phone will save on repairs and replacements.
I am pretty clumsy and a friend told me about this Defender Case. I am so glad I purchased one. I have dropped my phone a couple of time and my cat has knocked it off a table several times. So far, no scratches, no nothing wrong. I would recommend this to anyone.
