I won't buy anything other than otter box. Has protected all my phones from drops, bumps, etc...however, my last case came in black and yellow and living in Pittsburgh, that was a special feature. The limited color selections, not representing team colors, not a well thought out marketing plan in my opinion. You don't need NFL licensing, just color combinations. Not having that with the 8, is a let down. Otherwise, 5 stars for quality of product. Black and yellow.
Sturdy, love the colour. Pricey, wouldn't buy from website again.. would've been cheaper in store here in Canada.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Dear Bonnie,
Although we're thrilled to see that your iPhone feels ready to take on the world in the Defender series, we apologize that you're feeling a little hesitant about the price point. True, if your shipping address is located in Canada, it would be cheaper to purchase the case from one of our retail stores located there, due to shipping costs and the conversion rate. However, we can assure you that the cost is always worth the ultimate protection, wonderful customer service, and limited lifetime warranty that all come along with the case. If you have any future OtterBox questions, don't hesitate to ring up our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be glad to further assist you!
My phone feels super secure in this case. It will definitely protect it from any damage. BUT the screen protector is awful to use. It makes typing on the phone and using the touch screen extremely difficult. I'm starting to get used to it, but it's not fun. I wouldn't recommend the case for that reason.

Hey JamesB,
That certainly does not sound like fun, and we apologize that the Defender screen protector is putting your fingers through a workout! It sounds like there could be a slightly bigger gap between the screen protector and your phone screen than we would normally prefer, and our amazing Otters would love to rectify the situation with a warranty claim. Just give them a ring at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll gladly send you a new lid/base assembly that we're confident should provide functional protection going forward!
I LOVED the colour of this product and the protects my phone so well! Unfortunately, it stained within the first two days and I haven’t been able to wash it off. OtterBox was great about replacing it, although I did have to pay for shipping.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Dear Grace,
Uh oh, sounds like your case had dreams of being a different color and decided to go for it! While we're all about making dreams come true here at OtterBox, we apologize that this happened. We're glad to hear that we already have a warranty replacement headed your way, and while we understand that the nominal shipping fee can be a little unpleasant at times, we feel that it's a pretty good deal for a brand new case! Should you have any further OtterBox questions, please don't hesitate to contact our playful Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll dive right in!
I have used Otter Boxes for all my cell phones. I can always count on the Otter Box to protect my phone. I’ve dropped my phone at work and I never have to worry. I use the Defender.
My husband bought me a Defender case for my phone the beginning of this year. My granddaughter ask for one for Christmas! A beautiful color and easy to set onto phone.
Bought this for my wife for Christmas. People have been commenting about the great color. Fit, finish, and quality of the case is very good. Very satisfied with the purchase.
Have had the case two weeks, and find it very positive in my hand. It is very light really, and I know my phone is safe from bumps and drops. Great way to protect the investment.
