I received many compliments on this case within just days of having it. It seems to do a great job protecting my phone, which is what I am most worried about. Although I like the case, I have only had it for a week and it looks extremely dirty. I wear a lot of dark jeans and put my phone in my back pocket often. The color seems to be wearing off onto the phone case. Obviously besides for protection I bought this case for the look so it is a bummer.

Hi Emily,
Thanks for your feedback! We’re glad that the Defender is taking care of your iPhone 7 but we are sorry that it is collecting a bit of dirt. We always suggest cleaning our products using mild soap and water (never with abrasive or corrosive cleaners that may damage the case). If this doesn’t clear things up, please feel free to give our color-conscious Otters a call at 1-855-688-7269, and we will be happy to help out in any way that we can.
This is my third defender case. The first was for my iPad. The second was for my iPhone 6 and when I turned in the iPhone, it looked like it was new. The third is for my iPhone 7. It looks great and fits very well. My apple products can stand up to my tough lifestyle thanks to Otterbox! Great company! Bill C Medford Ma
I bought 4 defender cases for the new iPhone 7 of the family. Right away we noticed the difference, this new case comes now with a harder rubber covering the plastic shell. It has a rough feel in your hand which makes it perfect to avoid slips out of your hand. The only suggestion to otter box would be to provide a wider range of colors to choose and the belt clip needs a redesign and be free including with build your own case.
I have had 3 iPhones and 3 Otterbox cases. Love them all! The Defender is an excellent product. Great extra protection. Just a lil too big to fit in my pockets comfortably. I ended up getting the Commuter instead. Love it!
Love the color and durability of my new case, HOWEVER I put it in my back pocket at work, and the dye from my jeans turned the edges navy. It looks kinda cool, I guess, but still.
The Otterbox fix comfortably in my hand, and the light color makes it more visible in my bag. When I first got my phone, I felt as if I were carrying around a crystal vase --- almost afraid to use it in the event that I might drop it, but now I can use this new tool with confidence and ease because it is so well protected. Thanks!
