On our previous iPhones the opening in back of the otterbox, the circle opening that was used to reveal the Apple insignia was in the proper spot so the insignia was displayed. With this SE case, the opening is a couple of inches too high and therefore does not show the Apple insignia at all, it's completely covered up. This sucks.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi, Vicky!
We're sorry to hear about any disappointment with your Defender Series case. We try to ensure that the details about that vanity window not displaying the Apple Logo on the new iPhone SE were as apparent as possible on the website. We'll be sure to pass your feedback along. Keep in mind, that is a purely cosmetic issue, so you shouldn't see any reduction in the protective qualities of that case.
So far it works. If it is like the last one, the rubber/plastic will eventually harden and start to peel. Haven't tested it yet and hopefully I won't. Phones are too expensive.
I would recommend this to a friend!

On the off chance you do run into trouble, feel free to give our friendly Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269 and we'll be glad to help with a brand-new warranty replacement!
I bought this case about a month ago and the quality is great, just like all the cases I have had from otterbox. However I only gave 4 stars because the color of the case, although very pretty, gets dirty way too easily and does not come clean. Overall I would buy the case again, just in a different color.
There is no buying an expensive phone without having an OtterBix defender to keep it in. The new case for the iPhone 7 may be the same size as the one for the 6, but the material of the box is superior in that it is a bit more firm yet smooth. Easier to slide in and out of pockets...great job!
Good case but after a little bit the home button protector came off so now dust just gets in and makes my screen and makes it hard to see
I would recommend this to a friend!
