I just bought my 3rd Otterbox case and purchased the Defender. My, what a difference the Defender is to the other older models. The phone is easier to fit into the holder, the case itself is easier to take off or put on and there is so much more protection for the entire phone. I can not say enough great things about a superior product. Thanks Otterbox for putting out a super case and holder.
I bought this for my husband and he absolutely loves it, no drops yet but it seems very durable and fits the phone perfectly.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Most Durable Case

I accidentally dropped it 30 feet to concrete and it did nothing to my IPhone 6. The screen didn't break or anything. The plastic part of the case took the impact and broke. Going to buy a replacement plastic piece soon.
I bought this about three weeks ago and I’ve dropped it about a dozen times not purposefully but accidentally. I absolutely love this case
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love it but...

I have had the iPhone 4 & 5 & had an OtterBox for each. I believe they are the best protection for butterfingered people like me. Recently got the 6S so I needed a new case & of course it's an OtterBox. I love it except the opening where the charging cord goes is more narrow & my charger cord doesn't fit into it. The Apple brand cord fits but not the brand I have. Like I said, I love my OtterBox but I don't love having to go out to replace the 3 cords I have. #sadface
I recommend this case with reservations and subject to caveats.
First, I love otterbox cases for what they do best: protect your phone from the inevitable drops, plunges and resulting splats! I have seen too many cracked screens and mangled phones to ever not use one. This protection, however, comes at a price, and I do not mean the dollars, euros, yen, etc. that you pay for the product. Unlike prior models (iPhone 4, 4s, 5, 5s), this case noticeable detracts from the user experience. Here are some of the frustrations I have with the case.
1. Volume buttons are difficult to press, as is the ON/OFF button.
2. The flap covering the charging and earphone ports are awkward, and make it difficult to fit the respective cables in.
3. The built-in screen protector is even more annoying than previous models, as it seems much less responsive to touch. Also, the covering over the fingerprint sensor renders that functionality somewhat handicapped - it becomes hit and miss. Keeping the plastic screen protector clean is the same hassle it always has been. Otterbox really needs to address this issue, or incorporate their Alpha Glass product into the case, rather than force users to purchase both (assuming they even work together, which one Otterbox representative told me was a bad idea).
Quality is not an issue - the devil, however, is always in the details!
Pros: High quality, Durable, protects the phone like a champ!
Cons: screen protector awkward/difficult control button, price if you have to factor in the alpha glass
I love the otter box case and the protection that is provides. I do however wish that they would offer the camo case with the black plastic shell instead of the bright orange plastic shell. That is my only compliant and that doesn't affect the quality of this product.
Pros: High quality
Cons: don't offer the camo with a black plastic shell
