Don’t buy the Defender XT series. The back of the case is very slick resulting in easy drops.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Otterbox case fits secure and protects the phone well. My phone has fallen multiple times and has taken no damage. The smooth clear case scratches easily and is a fingerprint magnet.

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.

I ordered my new Case and Belt Clip for my new I-phone 17Pro Max on line. I have had the defender cases for all of my past 5 or 6 I-phones. I was disappointed that there were only a few colors to choose from. So, I couldn’t get my usual camo color case. But one thing I’m worried most about is how the case clips into the belt clip. It doesn’t have a firm click when you snap your phone into place. And doesn’t have a lot of resistance for it not to fall out. I’m worried about loosing my phone. Everything else if fine and it came on the same delivery truck as my phone. So I didn’t have to use it naked.
I would recommend this to a friend!
