I always protect my phone using outterbox products. I have dropped my phone hundreds of times and it has never received damage. The pop socket is just icing on the cake!
I have a bad habit of cracking my screen and my mom kept telling me to order an otterbox. It took me a while, but I’m so glad I did! BEST CASE EVER! Not too bulky, but not too thin. PLUS, the pop socket built in which for me was the icing on the cake. And guess what!?!? No cracked screen! Thank you, Otterbox!
I’m so happy to purchase my OtterBox case that came with my customized pop defender! Once i received it, i have been using it since! It’s been more than a month and it’s serving its purpose. I love it!!!
I love the color, I love the fact that the pop socket is attached so I don’t have to worry about it falling off like it did on my old phone case. What I don’t like is that you have to open the pop socket to get it to sit in the pop socket holder. I thought that the instructions for the base said to not open the pop socket when using the base - but that is impossible with this case. This means my phone flops around a lot when I’m driving. It no longer sits flush with the base and so the angle makes it hard to read the gps sometimes.

I’ve had this case for a few days now. I love the feel of it! I love that the built in pop socket flattens flush with the rest of the case. The flap over the lightening port is VERY hard to open, but I expect that to improve with use, and I would rather it be hard to open than hard to close!
Very Happy with the sturdiness of this cover. It gave me the confidence (I am a very clumsy person). However I find the process of application of the case to the phone is not that easy and the packaging lacks instruction on how to do it. But its not a big deal as I managed to google it. Highly recommended if you are looking for a full protection. A little bit bulky, hence not as pocket friendly as the Otterbox symmetry series.
I replaced my old case with a Defender with a pop socket. Since my last Defender purchase, the home button has been improved and works better with the plastic cover. The cover on the charging port also seems to be more substantial, so it should be less likely to break off. Basically, I like the Defender because phones are expensive and I want mine to be protected.
