I've had an Otterbox for over 7 years but ever since the 16 Pro Max case came out with the cutout for the action button, they completely damaged the case, leaving that area unprotected. When I bought the 17 Pro Max and saw that there was a physical action button, I thought it was the end, without thinking twice. I bought it before the iPhone 17 Pro Max came out but when I had the phone in my hand and put it on, I saw that every time I picked it up, the action camera button was activated, which was not normal. That has a problem and OtterBox has to fix it, which I hate terribly, which is why I returned it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I had one of their old cases with this type of print. This new one def holds its form better than some of their old defender cases. I’ve taken it to work, many miles of hunting trips, in and out of pockets and still looks brand new.
Thus Defender case has the build quality of the Otter Box types from a few years ago, which is to say fantastic! Wish for the price it came with the belt clip.
I get a new otter box for each new iPhone that I purchase. It has saved my phone countless times when it’s been dropped. Even on cement. I am sure it’s saved me a few replacement iPhones over the years. I use it with a holster so carrying g the phone is quite easy. I even carry it on my belt when motorcycle riding
The price point is decent was hoping for a bit better quality and overall performance. Wish the magnetic back was stronger to actually use for something.
I would recommend this to a friend!
