Love the Case. Light colors get dirty really quick

I love this style of case. This is now the third case I have bought and the third phone it has protected! I have always bought the black cases, but I decided to go with the mint color this time. I love the color, but it got dirty almost immediately. And I haven't been able to get it clean. So that's disappointing, and probably means I'll be buying a darker one when it gets too bad. I recommend the case, but not the color.
I like the Otterbox but, not as much as my previous one. The rubber shell was a lot harder than my previous one.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fingerprint sensor does NOT work 90% of the time

I hate that this case has a protector over the screen. I used an otterbox on my iphone 5 for over three years and loved it, mainly because I can't afford to get my screen fixed every time I drop my phone and I am EXTREMELY careful with my devices to begin with. But since I picked this one without realizing that it had a screen protector film thing on it I was annoyed to find that the fingerprint reader does not work very well at all. I can 10 out of 10 times use it for unlocking my phone without the case on but only 1 out of 10 times with the case on. If that. It is so frustrating. I have tried cleaning the inside and outside of the case frequently, including my phone, with every method imaginable. I am so aggravated!
I had a defender series for my iPhone 5 and it worked great. For the iPhone 7 the protection is still there but now it's difficult to hear. Both when holding the phone to your ear and during facetime. Not real happy with this case for the iPhone 7
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Unfortunately my dad had a great deal of trouble pressing the home button on his iPhone (big thumb) and couldnt use the volume buttons either. Hoping to send to back but no idea how.
