I am very happy with this Otter case! I love the color and feel confident that I can keep my phone safe if I happen to drop it. It is sturdy and fits my phone perfect and I can easily hold it or stand it up on the back section that pops out.
It’s a really solid case, for sure will keep your (and mine) phone safe. It’s just the little things that take the score down. The photos online of the case don’t exactly match up with the build. The surround ridge on the back side seems way more pronounced in the picture than on the actual case, seems small and petty but I was looking for that style to give such a bulky case some character. The biggest complaint I have about the case though is that the pop is not actually centerer on the centre of gravity of the actual phone, again seems petty but when the phone is in the pop holders sold by pop it slowly leans and finally flips upside down...if you try and start horizontal (like to watch a movie) it’s does not stay at all. All that said, if you don’t plan on using the stand that pop sells to hold the case (as I did for it’s minimalist size in the car and work) it’s a solid case, I work as a paramedic and no longer worry about the phone breaking or cracking while at work.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi Mike,
Thank you for the candid feedback.
Unfortunately, even though we do our best to put up an accurate representation of the color and style of the case, sometimes things can get lost in translation, so to speak, due to different monitors, etc. Nonetheless, we're still confident it will provide some of the best protection available to safeguard your investment. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to ping us below and we'd love to chat!
I've had it a for a few weeks, and it's gone through some additional quality control testing since being in my home thanks to my rambunctious toddlers. It's held up with with being thrown, kicked, smack around my home, keeping the phone looking like it's brand new. Great job, OtterBox team!
Doesn’t have any protection on the front screen. If buying from Canada, way overpriced.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Tann,
We're so sorry you're having mixed feelings about this Defender Series case.
We decided to fore-go the built-in screen protector to ensure complete functionality with the curved touchscreen. Our engineers redesigned the Defender Series in order to provide the same drop protection even without the built-in screen protector or an extra glass screen protector. The addition of the Alpha Glass provides your phone with premium protection and outperforms our previous Defender Series designs. Feel free to check it out below!
