Defender is getting thinner and cheaper every year! Too bad. I’m switching to UAG Monarch.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We appreciate your loyalty to the Defender series over the years, and we’re sorry to hear it hasn’t met your expectations recently. Your feedback about the design changes is valuable, and we’ll make sure it’s passed along to the team.

Sturdy but not too big at all. I also love the design on the back.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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 would give more stars, but they rejected my last negative review.
I do not like the case as the back scratches very easily! My mag safe charger has significantly scratched the clear back. It makes my phone look bad.
Cool case if you’re super careful with your iPhone!
But if you’re that careful. You probably don’t need a defender case in the first place.

I’m still waiting on my replacement. One without a clear back.

Great protection for the phone and I like the covered charging port to keep debris out

Very different layering from my last Defender and it was simple and it works. I got the camo model and it works great with my orange phone.
