I love these cases and always buy this specific one when I get a new phone. I'm clumsy and work woth small children so my phone is constantly being dropped. Never have had one break in one of these cases! I wish they came in cool designs or could mix and match colors but oh well they are worth what you get still.
I'm a very clumsy person, so obviously I need a TOUGH case. OtterBox has always protected my phones. When I bought the Galaxy S23 Ultra, choosing the case was a no brainer. The case fits perfectly with my screen protector and the edges are raised enough on the front and back that I know my precious phone will be protected from my clumsy ways.
I have been buying the Defender cases for many years whenever I get new phones but this particular one for my new Samsung Ultra 23 is different. Not as heavy so I don't think it will be as protective and the edges on it are not smooth so they feel rough on my fingers. Not happy!

So sorry to hear the Defender Series Pro case for your Galaxy S23 Ultra wasn't quite what you were expecting. We're constantly working to improve our cases with each new release, so although this case may seem thinner in comparison to a case you had in the past, we've thoroughly drop-tested and confirmed this Defender Series Pro case offers a DROP+ rating 4X the military standard (MIL-STD-810G 516.6). We appreciate your feedback on the texture of this case, and we will be sure to pass that along to the proper teams for you. In the meantime, if you have any other questions or concerns regarding our products, feel free to give us a ring at 1-855-688-7269 and we would be happy to help. Best, OtterBox Customer Support
