I always get camo case for my iPhones. This new design is much more rigid for the iPhone 6 compared to the iPhone 4. It's harder, so I guess that means better drop protection. BUT this has made the volume buttons EXTREMELY hard to push. Not very user friendly. The iPhone 4 case has softer rubber which made the buttons way easier to push.
This is my 2nd OtterBox & I love the protection they provide. I've dropped my iPhone on concrete several times, unscathed. I have had a problem with the OtterBox that I just bought for my iPhone 6 because the membrane that covers the fingerprint ID has developed a wrinkle 3 different times, which disables the fingerprint recognition.
Love the graphic design of the case. Get lots of compliments. It has bounced down a set of cement stairs and phone and case survived unharmed. Only issue is buttons on sides are quite hard to depress. A light press does not do it. Case could have been a little bit tighter fit so buttons would be easier to use.
The case is excellent in protection of the Phone and true Otter Box quality. The only things I don't like is the lock button is really hard to push but might get better over time. With the Defender you cant use the finger print unlock and the case pushes on the head phone plug and MIGHT cause problems down the road. I love the case and have them on my kids phones, my wife's phone and my phone.
Have always loved Otterbox cases, as I feel my phone is safe inside of it. However, I'm not sure if it has to do with the size of the screen or the new touch id feature, but I cant seem to find a case that fits perfectly over the phone, the built in screen protector always has a slight gap in between it and the phone screen. Other than that, amazing tough case.
Not only is the case just about 'bulletproof' but the customer support is fantastic! I'm not easy on my stuff, at all. I work in construction and am very active outdoors. I've watched my phone fall of ladders and end up in the bottom of boats and blinds. And the Otter box protects it! I did break the belt clip on the outer case and with a quick call received a new one from Otter Box in days, with NO HASSLE! They have a lifetime customer with me, and I wish more products would copy their business ethic.
Pros: High quality, Durable, superb customer service!
