I’ve had this for a week now – and it’s pretty nice! I’ll admit, I’m a bit nervous that there’s no screen protector, but the way this had been designed should prevent anything getting to it. I’m also concerned about the power cable flap; I hope it lasts a couple of years of daily open/close.
I bought this case a few weeks ago for a family member. They saw my case and wanted the same one. I’ve had mine for a year and have dropped my phone several times. I’m very happy with how it’s held up. It’s not just a great protection for my phone, but showcases the beauty of the phone.
I've always used the Defender series cases for my iPhone but since the phone got bigger I wanted to try a slimmer case so I went with the Pursuit series. It still allows the phone to slide easily in/out of pockets, bags, etc.. It also provides a little bit of texture so that the phone doesn't slip out of my hands so easily. I was nervous about the lack of a screen protector but one of the things I hated about the Defender series was that if I did any kind of hiking, biking, running and got sweaty then the case would always end up with some moisture between the screen protector and the screen making the touchscreen almost impossible to use. This didn't happen for me yesterday when on a sweaty hike.
I ordered the clear case so I can still show off the color of the XR. All in all I like this case.
Bought this as an alternative to the defender case for the iPhone XR. Was great being a slimmer fit on the phone but the clear back scratched too easily and the pursuit case wasn’t very grippy. Ended up buying the defender case although it is a tighter fit in any car mount due to the width.
I wouldn’t recommend the Pursuit case if you want to put it down and not have the back of the case marked or scratched.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Nick,
Thanks for your feedback! Although we are glad that the Defender case is working out for you, we’re sorry that the Pursuit didn’t meet your expectations. We will pass your thoughts on to our design team for future consideration.
Hopefully it offers the protection as advertised. It seems too thin to do so, but I've always had great success with otterbox. Very, very expensive case and the clear backing scratches easily - not really happy with that.
The cover is fine, but for 80 bucks, Otter should include a face cover.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi fitz,
Sorry to hear that you're feeling slightly let down by the screenless style of the Pursuit series! Historically, the streamlined design of the Pursuit has not included any sort of integrated screen protection, but we certainly understand why some might be expecting one. Although this case is meticulously engineered to provide the best drop protection possible, if you're still interested in a little extra peace of mind, we would suggest taking a look at our Alpha Glass. This screen protector is destined to offer fortified display security, and should be the perfect companion to the Pursuit.
