I was surprised it did not have a screen cover like the cover for my i6. On a very major plus side, I can plug my non-apple charger cables into the phone without taking the case off.
I knew exactly what I was getting with this purchase since I have 3 other otter box cases. I once dropped my phone over 10feet at the gym and not a scratch on my phone. No need to look any place else. Stylish, durable and affordable.
This is my second OtterBox for my iPhone. The first held up so well and took a beating but kept my phone safe that I purchased it again. This case has a very firm/stiff right side button. I can’t press the button with a finger but rather I have to use my thumb with a firm grip... and I’m a young adult... not arthritic! Also, the back doesn’t have the window for Eve’s apple. I was kinda disappointed because I have a picture that fits the window perfectly and would like to have used it. It’s why I chose this case since the photo in the description had the window.
I am pretty rough on phones. I also work in a very dusty environment. The case itself allowed a lot of dust to accumulate between the phone and Mylar cover, so much so that it would require removing from the case every couple of days to clean. I have somewhat solved the issue, I keep it in a zip-loc bag now.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
