I was actually waiting for this case since I received an email stating that they were bringing these cases with the pop sockets out. So when they finally came out I bought one right away and I’m definitely not disappointed. Love the defender cases but the pop socket makes it so much easier to hold my phone since I have the IPhone 7plus. I just wish the cases came in more colors instead of just black and blue. Still love my case though!
I don’t know why but pop socket keeps coming off no matter how hard I try to apply it
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I love the defender case it's perfect for where I work. The problem I have is with using the Touch ID on my home button.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hey there Awesomeness,
It's awesome to hear that this Defender series has been the perfect working companion! We apologize that the Touch ID feature has been having a tough time syncing up lately, and our friendly Otters would love to straighten things out with some troubleshooting. Please don't hesitate to give them a ring at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll get things back on track again in no time!
Love the case. The built in pop socket works so much better than putting one on the other defender cases. However it doesn’t stay in place when I use the dash mount. I find my phone spinning or jumping off my dash when I make turns or hit a bump. This didn’t happen before.
I buy the most expensive durable case u sell and I’ve replaced it 5 times.

What's going on with all those OtterBox Defender Series cases that they don't seem to have been able to withstand the pressures of protection while you’re on the job?
Hopefully your iPhone has been kept safe from harm throughout, and we also hope that you’ve been able to take advantage of our warranty to help with those replacement cases. Please feel welcome to give us a quick call at 1-855-688-7269 and we'll be more than happy to help get another new case in the works and try to figure out what the root cause of the recurring trouble is.
I had an Otter Box case before and I loved. When I got a new iPhone 8 plus I got a different case because it was less expensive, but look sturdy. The first time I dropped the phone, the case cracked, so back to Otter Box I went, even though it is costly, it is worth it.
Offers more drop protection then competition. Port is covered, very important (in the past i needed to empty the port by wooden stick every two months or so...). Rubber makes phone easy to hold. Pop-socket is really needed for plus size phone!
