I’ve never been disappointed with OtterBox cases, and this one is no exception. Excellent protection, sleek, good looks. Got it at a decent price too. Everything I need in a case.
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!
Very nice case, although the back isn’t rubber anymore like it once was. It’s plastic now, so more fragile back there and fingerprints show up very bad.
The belt holder broke in half. I had one of your holder for years and never had one break.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

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

I am a first responder and inadvertently dropped my new iPhone 17 ProMax yesterday while at work. This is my 6th or 7th OtterBox product and I continue to be impressed with the device protection!
