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.
This product was very disappointing. The outer case and pop socket were great. But this comes with a loose cheap plastic screen attached making the phone impossible to use.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey Mam O,
We're bummed to hear this Otter + Pop Defender Series case didn't work out for you. It may not look like much, but we assure you we put forth every effort to ensure this case will provide some of the best protection available to safeguard your investment. We really hope this experience doesn't turn you away for good. If you need further assistance picking out a new case, please feel free to contact us on chat!
Awesome phone case that offers a lot of protection while feeling great in your hands. I drop my phone quite often so I needed a case with good protection without to much bulk and this case is it! I am able to use my wireless charger even with this case on so that's an added benefit. Love the pop socket too! The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because I'm not a fan of the color combo (Winter). I wish the interior color was either white or a better matching blue/green. Purchased for my iPhone Xs and it fits perfectly!
Having to remove the pop to wireless charge my iPhone on my pad is a hassle. The pop idea is a good one. I just don't think it's a good fit for phones with wireless charging.

Hey there DrTek,
We apologize that this Otter + Pop Defender series doesn't seem to be getting along well with your favorite wireless charger! With this particular case, if you are experiencing interference with wireless charging, we do suggest removing the PopTop. Doing this usually helps the device align seamlessly with the charger. If you have any additional questions or comments, please feel welcome to call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll be glad to further assist you!
I love otter box and was so excited to get this but the pop blocks the spot where it needs to connect to a cordless charger. They should include that in the description

Hi, Ellen!
We're sorry to hear about any frustration with your Otter + Pop Defender Series case! While that case is compatible with Qi charging, we do recommend removing the PopTop for the best charging experience. If you run into any other issues with your case, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Customer Service Team here: https://www.otterbox.com/en-us/support
I am not happy with the thing on the back. I like a plain flat back. The case is not bad. I like things plain and simple.

Hi, Fredster!
We're sorry that you're not liking your new Otter + Pop Symmetry Series case!

Hi, Terry!
We're sorry to hear about the issues that you're running into with your Defender Series case! We sometimes see issues like this while using an additional screen protector on your device alongside the Defender. If you're not using any additional screen protection, then we may want to get your case replaced. Feel free to reach out to our Customer Service Team here: https://www.otterbox.com/en-us/support
Case is too slippery, and the pop socket is located too high on the case. Full rubberized corners would go a long way.
