My Otterbox Defender made it possible to keep my htc for 4 years. I just upgraded to an iPhone and immediately ordered another Defender to protect my new phone. The case gives me piece of mind knowing that any drop doesn't mean I need a new phone.
The only (temporary) problem I had was when I left my old screen protector on in addition to Otter Box's, the touch screen was balky. Once I removed the old one, Otter's touch screen worked as well if not better than my original. Tip: if you have a non Apple charge cord, the plug may not fit through the Otter Box charging cover.--just lightly file or shave the plug with a sharp knife.
In remodeling I have to take my iPhone everywhere including crawl space and attics. It has protected my phone for years now through mutiple drops, bumps, and scrapes. Dirty hands, falls off night stands, and you pull the cover off the phone looks brand new
Hard to imagine how many replacements for my phone I would have without the Otterbox
Vibrant, I was truly stunned when I finally received and opened the package. I have been using the Defender Series for 6+ years and it has never failed me. I have gone as far as to accidentally chuck my device across a gymnasium once with no damage (do not attempt this please). The protection it gives your phone is astounding and stylish. Definitely a great case.
Have dropped my phone more than I’d care to admit andvthe Otterbox Defender has saved my bacon. Had to replace a tired rubber skin but the main box going strong!
Upgraded my phone, I waited to use it until I received my Otterbox. My previous phone still looked brand new after over 7 years in an Otterbox (yes, I know- my upgrade was long overdue, lol) despite being dropped at times. I stayed with the "Defender" case because I know how well it protects my phone- well worth the price! I love the Hibiscus Frost color! This is a fantastic product- a really gives me peace of mind that my phone is well protected.
Combined with the defender case the duo gives great protection and easy access. My phone looks exactly like it did the day I took it out of the box 3 years ago.
