The case was defective. I tried to send it back, but I was unable to return it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Seems like a good case. I wish there was a better to address the side cutout for the iPhone camera slider, but I don't know how that could be. It doesn't seem quite as bombproof at that cutout.
Perfect phone protector for me who has Parkinson’s

Sturdy, tough case. I have Parkinson’s and drop things. I have dropped my phone in this case numerous times and the case protects my phone every time. Added bonus the covers are beautiful.
I’ve used OtterBox Defender cases on my last two iPhones and this is the third. The case feels a little less rubbery, especially the back is more of a hard plastic. Not too sure about the camera button cutout on the side and how well it will protect if it were to fall.
A little bulkier than my previous case, but I am confident it will actually protect my phone much better. My previous case sustained both a cracked screen and cracked screen protector (2 different occasions) and I couldn't remember dropping the phone either time.
