Let’s face it...it’s a case. It’s dull but does what I needed it to do...protect the phone. It is really bulky. I spoke to someone on this site ahead of time and they assured me that the pop socket version allowed for wireless charging....this was absolutely incorrect. This case may connect for a split second to a wireless charger, but it will not charge your phone. If anyone tells you it will...they are not correct. I probably would not get this case again as I am not happy that 8 can not use my wireless charger
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there!
We're sorry to hear about any frustration with your Otter + Pop Defender Series case! While that case is compatible with Qi charging, you may find the best interaction after removing the PopTop. Additionally, some chargers tend to work better than others, so you may find that a different charger suits you best. We'll be sure to get your feedback passed up the ladder! If you run into any other issues with your case, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Customer Service Team here: https://www.otterbox.com/en-us/support

I purchase the Defender Series case and found it to be too bulky and hard to operate my phone. I was not as pleased as I was with my first Otterbox case. I should have done more research. It didn't fit into my WeatherTech cup holder due to the size and it doesn't fit well into my pants pocket.

Hey Anthony,
So sorry to hear your Otter + Pop Defender Series wasn't quite what you'd expected! If that case is a bit too substantial for your taste, we do offer a wide variety of options that are significantly slimmer, as well as a 30-day return option. Feel free to ring up our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269 to get the ball rolling on a return and we'll help you pick out just the right case for you!
This case is huge, ugly, and a pain every time you need to access the mute button or plug your phone in to charge. I wouldn’t buy this again.

We appreciate the candid feedback and are sorry to hear that you haven't enjoyed the time spent with the Otter + Pop Defender Series Case. Not sure how long you've had the case, but if you're within 30 days of purchase, we'd be glad to help set up a return.
And we do have a number of other, more streamlined case models to choose from, so maybe take a look around the website to see if something else strikes your fancy!
