I am very fortunate to have the OtterBox Defender Series Pro Case protecting my Samsung Galaxy S20 5G Ultra for about four years now. It had its bumps and falls through the years which my cellphone survived it all. Most impressive since my cellphone survived them all even when I was sure that my cellphone couldn’t survive that one or that one, but it did and kept on working like nothing happened. Unfortunately, the Defender Case was badly damaged, so I had to have the Defender Pro Case replaced while my cellphone was oblivious to what has occurred to my Defender Case and kept on working like nothing happened (There was no damage to the cellphone at all. I found that most amazing.). Yep, the Defender Pro Case did its job and protected my cellphone while it was completely destroyed. Now, that’s the kind of case one would want for a cellphone, a case that really protects which is what the Defender Series Pro Case did. It really protected my Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, to which I am most grateful. This case is truly a Defender. This Sunday was a most regrettable day. It brought sorrow to my heart. After many charges through the years, Sunday was to be the last charge that my Samsung Galaxy S20 5G Ultra was to get. What a sad day. As the cellphone was charging, the battery (Lithium-Ion) exploded. As the shrapnel flew in all directions, the Defender Pro Case prevented anything from coming from the bottom or the top, and from the sides plastic and metal flew out. Needless to say that the phone and case was destroyed, but alot of damage was prevented because the bottom and top of the case remained intact even though it was badly twisted. I didn’t realize that hard rubber (Or whatever substance it’s made of.) could twist like that. What’s left now, looks like something that didn’t survive a war, is twisted metal from the cellphone and material from the Defender Pro Case. Nobody should ever experience something like that. Most shocking. I ordered a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra on the internet that is Unlocked with 1TB (1,000 Gigabytes) and 16 Gigabytes Ram. Unlocked allows you to change chips so that you can call and receive calls as local calls. And I am also ordering the Galaxy S23 Ultra Defender Series Pro Case which will Protect me from another battery explosion if that should occur again. Preferably, this was one and only such occurrence. Wishing all well, Ed.
The product itself is as good as always. Not a big fan of the color combo. I would rather have had a black insert to go with the blue outside, The pale orange is kinda weird.
I upgraded from the S21 Ultra to the S23 Ultra, so of course I had to get a protector case for my new phone. First thought, Ottorbox, the s21 Ultra Otterbox Defender Pro case kept my s21 ultra safe for the 2 years I had it & I know theS23 Ultra Defender Series Pro Case will keep my S23 ultra safe for as long as I have it.
I work as a cameraman and always moving with one hand on my camera. I have dropped the phone many times and can say that Otterbox has saved my Samsung Galaxy phones. I started using them from the Galaxy S3. I have many friends that pull out their phones with cracked screens and cracked back sides. I always say "Get an Otterbox". I just got the S23 Ultra. Within 1 hour. The case was on and the Glass protector was on. I use the Whitestone Dome glass that is compatible with the Otterbox defender case. It is a great combination.
I bought an Otterbox case a few years ago and now i'll never buy a different brand! I'm quite clumsy and drop my phones all the time, but Otterboxes protect my devices amazingly! I trust Otterbox cases 100%
