I had the Otter box defender with the last three phones I owned which I used for work & personal use which I dropped many times, used it in the rain, and dirt & the case always came clean & all the phones were in new condition when I removed the case.
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 would recommend this to a friend!

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.
