This case is strong. I like that the outer cover is a little grippy. I also like having a plug for the charging port as I I’m in dirty/dusty environments a lot.
Excellent product which does a great job of protecting the iPhone 17 from bumps and drops. Much improved since I used a similar case for the iPhone 12. Very well made. An option existed for me to acquire a free holster case to securely retain the Defender Pro with iPhone 17.
Ever since I left my phone on the side rail of my truck in my first Otter Box case, I’ve never owned any other. That thing literally stayed on the bed of my truck across town.
