The Defender Case has many great features but I really like the fact that the material on the back is very "non-slip." It slides easily into your pocket and doest't have the tendency to fall out. The sides are easy to grip and it fits in my hand well. I have large hands so that may be why I like it so much. The front cover is mostly non-reflective and the cover over the start button on the iPhone is very responsive.
I have dropped the phone a couple of times and the phone was not impacted at all. It seems like the phone almost bounces when it hits a hard object.
The only thing I can find to complain about it the weight of the product. I would have liked it to be lighter, but it is a small sacrifice to make for a great protective case.
A perfect case if you're as clumsy as me! it's robust without the added weight and size you might expect from a rugged case. all the buttons, ports and general functionality is there but protected as you would expect. The home button fingerprint functionality is maintained, but the button is covered with a protective film which prevents dust and moisture getting in. all in all, a greet product!
I love the otterbox defender cases. they are the only case I will buy for my phones. They have never failed to protect my phone when I drop it. I have never had a phone break, a screen crack- nothing, while my phone is in the defender otterbox case. The case is bigger and bulkier than most, but it is very much worth it. The protection is great! Otterbox gives you the option to customize your case so that you can have the colors you want! I love my otterbox case!
Really good looking and tough. Quite bulky, but that's expected.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought an otter box defender when I purchased my iPhone 6, about February of 2105. Yesterday my phone was left on top of a moving car and the phone was found laying on the street perfectly fine. An awesome case, well worth the money

I bought this case a few months ago. I was so excited to be able to customize my case colors. When it arrived it seemed to be flawless however when I put the case on my phone the fit is horrible! The rubber does not form to my phone and the shell does not form to the rubber or my phone. There are gaps in the circle around the apple on the back of my phone, and gaps on the sides. Because of this my phone gets very dirty and I have to remove the case often to clean my phone and the inside of the case. I am more disappointed because my friends have this case as well and theirs fit flawlessly. I guess you just have to be one of the lucky ones when ordering this case.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
