I like the case but I'm dissappointed. I ordered the build your own case and paid $10 more than the regularly case. This case doesn't come with a belt clip while the regular one does. It's my own fault for not noticing that when I ordered.
I use this holster for convenience and function. From past experiences, it will last about six months before it breaks from much wear. The holster is an easy method of keeping my phone close and my purse less cluttered. It is not the greatest fashion statement, but it is useful.
This is our third holster clip. The other two they warranted, but that's been a couple of years. The clip to always break off at the attachment point.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

After a few smashed screens we knew we needed something really sturdy to withstand the rigours of family life with 3 children. We did lots of research to find a sturdy 360 case and Otterbox had some great reviews. While I haven't yet experienced a phone being dropped while in the Otterbox (which is why I can't yet give 5 stars) I can clearly see how much better protected the phones are compared to other cases we've tried.
I purchased this case for my son. He is very rough on things, dropping and even occasionally sitting on his phone. This case is one of the best. Very durable, sturdy and doesn't get in the way. Some cases are a pain in the neck to charge...no problem with this one! Highly recommend.
