Customer Reviews for OtterBox - Defender Series Pro XT Hard Shell for Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max - Green

Having been a customer for twelve years, I've had to have my Otter Box replaced more than once because of wear and tear. . . . with never and extra charge. Gravity is relentless but so is the Defender. I dropped my iPhone 6, 12, and 17 more than once and defender did its job every time!
I would recommend this to a friend!

It gets full of dirt in the back. Constantly have to take it apart to clean it.

Color and design are great. Feels sturdy but the case will suddenly be apart when I go to use it.

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

I am pleasantly surprised at how much less bulky this new design is. I have been a defender user for many years and have never had one problem.

I expected more from an OtterBox case, especially given the brand’s reputation and price point. Unfortunately, the back of the case scratched very easily with normal, everyday use. Even more frustrating, the two pieces that are supposed to clip together don’t connect very securely. They commonly separate, which makes the case feel unreliable and poorly designed. Overall, it doesn’t provide the solid, dependable protection I was expecting.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
