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!
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.
I've always bought and believed in the defender series, especially after one of my phones was run over by a car... Had to replace the otter, but my phone was protected... That was a couple otters ago... This new otter is great... Able to charge my phone wirelessly without removing the popsocket and still have the benefits of the pop... Great combo.
This case is not for me. It’s bulky, heavy, and if you are a photographer, the built in screen makes it hard to see if the picture is in focus. Returning it. Don’t recommend unless you really want water protection.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
