The first one I ordered was wrong. My fault. Second one, box said was right one,but still did not fit my phone
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi, Polly!
We're sorry to hear about any frustration with your recent Defender Series purchase! It looks like you only bought the outer slipcover of that case. Keep in mind, that is a multilayer OtterBox, so it requires an inner shell to be complete. It looks like we no longer have that inner shell available individually, but if you call us at 1-855-688-7269, we'd be more than happy to start a return for you and see what full case options we still have in stock!
As clumsy as I am, I like putting my iPhone in an Otterbox Defender. I never have to worry about my phone. I don't have to be careful with it. I don't have to have a heart attack every time I drop my phone worrying I've cracked the glass.
I love the built in screen protector because I hate those clingy things that you put on to protect the screens. There's always a bubble or something that annoys me.
Cons: makes phone a built bulky, but It's worth it for the protection imo i can't see my pretty rose gold phone... screen protector gets scratched easily moisture seeps under built in screen protector
This is the the third OtterBox Defender iPhone case I have purchased. The first one was for my iPhone 3Gs. After over a year of hard use, I removed the phone from the case to clear it before trading it in for an iPhone 4s. The 3Gs was in virtually new condition - not one scratch or ding - after having been dropped more times than I can remember. Got an OtterBox Defender for the 4s. Kept the 4s much longer than I intended. When I removed it from the case to clear it before trading it in, I found it to be in virtually new condition. Recently ordered a new iPhone 6s plus, which I won't receive for another 2 to 3 weeks. I've already ordered and received a new OtterBox Defender for it. Obviously I haven't used the new case yet, but it is just as well designed and sturdy as the previous two I've had. I expect it to protect my new iPhone just as well as the other two cases protected the iPhones I put in them. The OtterBox Defender is not inexpensive, but you definitely get what you pay for: the best protection you can get for your expensive phone. At my recommendation, some of my family members have bought OtterBox Defenders and they too are 100% satisfied with them. The first thing they do when they buy a new phone is to order the OtterBox Defender made for it. They add a little bulk and they're not stylish, but if protection is what you're looking for, nothing beats an OtterBox Defender.
Sturdy, strong, durable and looks good. Best part is that I do not have to worry about my EXPENSIVE iPhone, it provides me peace of mind about carrying such an expensive phone
I have never used anything other than the Defender case on every iPhone I have owned. This latest one is for my 6S+ and has protected my phone from a 1 story drop already... Nothing but great experience with Otter.
3rd one of these. been great protection. grippy. clip on belt becomes habit and helps me not forget the phone. addition of seal over home button is great.
The cover is almost as heavy as a brick. So far, it has done it's job. I wish they a credit card holder for this size. It would make it easier to not carry a wallet at all times.
