My last defender case keep my iphone from all possible damage, my new otterbox defender case allowed the otterbox screen to crack with in a few days of using it with a iphone 17, new case has no plastic screen cover so damage will happen with the new otterbox defender case! so sad for what I paid for it!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

While the iPhone 17 Defender Series Pro Case doesn’t include built-in screen protection, we offer premium screen protectors that are fully compatible and work seamlessly with OtterBox cases.

The first OtterBox defender that I had was on my iPhone 7, while I was still in the construction field. It was indestructible, always on my belt in a harsh environment. I have since then retired and I am on my latest iPhone 17 standard. The quality on the new defender has lived up to all the defenders that I have had. As long as I have an iPhone, I will always have the defender model, outstanding product.

I always buy Otterbox Defender series. It’s a great investment especially when you consider the cost of the phone. Their products are well made, always fit and last for years. I work in construction and my phones takes a beating but is well protected by my Otterbox Defender cover.

Does not seem to be nearly as robust as my old Iphone XR case (which i loved). Only time will tell if it will protect my new phone as well as the old one.

I purchased an OtterBox Defender series for my IPhone 17. I’ve used them for my last 3 or 4 iPhones. Great quality and extremely durable. It really protects my phone from an occasional fall out of my pocket. OtterBox offers great warranty service if needed. A great product at a fair price!
OtterBox is and always be my go to for phone protection…

Excellent quality and superior protection as usual. The Defender series of cases are the best cases I've ever used!

Nothing better than this case for a journeyman roofer, and I’ve put it through a lot.

My prior I phone was well protected with otter box defender. Thus on my new iPhone I ordered the defender again but realized once I got it it doesn’t included the screen protector. Disappointed.
