Customer Reviews for OtterBox - Defender Series Pro XT Hard Shell for Apple iPhone 17 Pro - Blue

Way too expensive to have to also purchase a front and camera screen protector. Dropped my phone within one week and the camera screen protector cracked so thankful I had it. 0/10 do not recommend.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello! Our engineers removed the built-in screen protector from our Defender Series case to ensure complete functionality with the newest devices. Our Defender Series was redesigned in order to provide the same drop protection even without the built-in screen protector. The addition of one of our amazing screen protection options provides your phone with premium protection and outperforms our previous Defender Series designs.

I’ve had otter box cases for years and year. Always the camo version. This version just did not fit right. Also the camo on the back is glossy which makes scratches easy to see.

We’re sorry to hear about your damaged device. Our cases are very protective, but some variables can’t be predicted. We’re happy to send a new OtterBox product under our product warranty, but we are unable to extend our warranty to the device itself, as we are not the manufacturer. Please reach out to us via chat with any questions or if you would like a new case.

The case was easy to put onto my phone and has a quality feel. The rims of the case are a nice hard/soft grip feel that won't slip through your hands. I would definetly reconmend buying this product as it had the maximum safety rating and I can see why. Every corner is protected with a little bit protruding around the edges and around the camera display so when you set your phone down it will protect it from surface scratches. There is even a little flap to protect the charging port, clever. Highly reconmend picking this up if you wanna have some style while protecting your phone for the years to come.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Always The Best OtterBox Defender Series Cases

Verified Purchase:Yes
OtterBox Defender Series has been the best iPhone case for me. I have bought many OtterBox Defender cases throughout the years. I’ve dropped my iPhone several times and never had iPhone damage. You won’t regret the purchase.
I would recommend this to a friend!
