I had my first phone in an Otterbox and it lasted through 5+ years of working outside in challenging conditions. I now work indoors in an office environment but I still wanted an Otterbox for my new Iphone 8 as I don't plan on buying another one soon. Case is slimmer than my old one but seems plenty beefy. Only complaint is that the screen protector does not lay flat on the screen so very difficult to text. Never had this problem with old case.

Hi beeg,
It's great to hear that your new Defender series is instilling the same confidence as your previous case! We apologize that the screen protector seems to be sitting a little higher than it normally should, and our handy Otters would love to fix things up with a quick warranty replacement. Please feel welcome to call them at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll get you back on track to smooth security in no time at all!
I like it but I wish this could come in more colors like the others one. I think you should change the area where the SIM phone is, to be able to take out the SIM phone like the on/ off is. That will be a good idea. Overall I like it.
I purchase a new phone and wanted to ensure I made it last as long as I could. So I chose to invest in an otter box case, to give maximum protection. The case is sleek and sturdy. I enjoy knowing that my phone is protected.
I've had OtterBox cases for all of my phones, and they've saved my phone more than once. I recommend them to family and friends, and a couple of days ago was with a relative who dropped her phone in a parking lot with no damage to the phone or case!
