I am generally opposed to large, plain phone cases, but after breaking my third phone in a year, I decided I had to go for function over looks. I love that this provides protection but also lets me customize it. I had a case similar to this material once and a regular popsocket just would not adhere for more than a couple weeks. This is awesome that it’s built in, can be changed, and doesn’t stick out far when it’s not in use!!!
The pop socket piece is very flexible and does not support the full weight of the phone and case together (when used as a stand, tilted). Perhaps if you put a different pop socket on it would be ok. The case itself is great and I have been happy with previous Otter Box cases.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there!
We're sorry to hear about any disappointment with your Otter + Pop Defender Series case! We usually suggest pulling out the PopTop all the way, then pushing down one side. This allows you to use the side that's still popped out as the stand for your phone. We see that a return has already been started for you, but we do hope that you're able to find an OtterBox case that suits your needs. If you have any questions about our cases, please don't hesitate to give us a call at 1-855-688-7269, and we can get your questions answered!
I just replaced my iPhone screen due to a cracked screen. I drop my phone frequently. My phone has a layer of protection with the otter box. I am still not sure about the pop up feature. I continue to try it in different situations.
I like it. Feels sturdy, haven’t drop my phone yet so maybe when i do I’ll have more input. I just didn’t realize how annoying the pop thing would be. Other then that no complaints.
I’ve had this case for almost a month now, and I must say it’s the best case I’ve ever owned! It’s cute, comfortable, and protects my phone! I love the pop socket feature. I have a two year old, and this case really does the job for drop protection. Worth every penny!
I bought the Otterbox defender without the pop a few years ago and it’s great. But I wanted to try the Otter + Pop so I purchased it a few weeks ago. Best decision ever. I love the way the pop allows me to use the kick stand feature. Thanks for this wonderful innovation.
I have been using Otterbox products for a while and my old one was getting wore out and the clip broke. But I saw they were now offering the finger grips and decided to try it. Super product and I love that they can be interchanged.
