I've had an Otterbox for over 7 years but ever since the 16 Pro Max case came out with the cutout for the action button, they completely damaged the case, leaving that area unprotected. When I bought the 17 Pro Max and saw that there was a physical action button, I thought it was the end, without thinking twice. I bought it before the iPhone 17 Pro Max came out but when I had the phone in my hand and put it on, I saw that every time I picked it up, the action camera button was activated, which was not normal. That has a problem and OtterBox has to fix it, which I hate terribly, which is why I returned it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Disappointed. Our other phones had lifeproof for years and came out looking brand new for trad in. Thought these cases were sealed and disappointed the camera area allows dirt and debris in. Also the cover for the charge port opens hard and forces a lot of angular pressure to engage and remove the cable in and out of the slot. The end result will be damage to the cable and likely the phone side plug as well. Lifeproof currently not available.

So far so good. The case is still too new to determine if it will hold up or not. All my past cases from otterbox have been a waste of money

Great protection. Needs a minor tweak to the camera button. It is too sensitive to touch. Better if the camera button was uncovered like the iPhone 16 model cases.
