I bought this case in blue with the swapable pop-socket for my iPhone SE (2nd gen). I am super clumsy and tend to drop my phone a lot but Otter Box Defender cases have saved my iPhones in the past. The case color selection could be better but the blue case is a good color. I really do love having a pop socket on my Otter Box defender.
I like it for the protection for sure but I don’t like how easy stuff gets under the screen cover. It’s not easy to take on and off (For protecting the phone from impacts) all the time to clean it out. That is the only negative I have found. I would buy another one just like it but doesn’t have the screen cover
I bought this case for my new iPhone SE. I like the built in pop socket. The case is durable but a bit bulky. The Touch ID does not work at all with the phone in this case which is a major issue for me. Simply because of that I’ll have to find a different case.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Judd,
We're so sorry this Otter + Pop Defender Series case isn't delivering the seamless interaction you were hoping for.
This is strange because we designed this fingerprint film with careful precision and thought, so functionality shouldn't be an issue. If you're game, we'd love to look into this below before you give up on this Defender!
This is my second OtterBox purchase, the first one protected my old phone so even after five years, it looks brand new! This has saved my phone multiple times from disaster! This will always be my phone case purchase!!!!
I bought my first Defender series in 2014 and that’s the model I’ve always stuck with. Cause I’m a klutz and I drop stuff I needed a case with great protection. This was it. LifeProof is also great but you get the fishbowl effect when you talk on the phone because it’s water resistant. Everything is sealed. Most leading phone technologies are water resistant so the Defender series is still a great product. I use it on all iPads and iPhones I’ve had. Although maybe make one for iMacs???
