Ordered over Mother's Day weekend for the discount. I wanted to try out the defender for maximum coverage but like others didn't like the plastic screen cover. I already had a glass screen protector so I just popped out the plastic and it works perfect! As for the shell I ordered the blaze pink since I have the pink iPhone, but it turned out to be more neon which I don't like. The buttons are also very hard to push.
I have coached softball for 10 years and tend to destroy phones in the process due to rainy Springs in Ohio. My phone stays water logged especially when I teach sliding practice and forget that my phone is in my pocket or it rains for 6 of the 7 innings of a long game or better yet I drop my phone while dragging the field and run it over with the gator. My otter box has kept my phone in tact season after season.
I believe when you have the phone in the case you are supposed to be able to stand it up on its side. It really needs a little longer part that it rests on as it is very unstable.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your feedback! We’re sorry that the kickstand function is not working out as well as it should. As long as the clip is in the kickstand position the iPhone/case should be very stable. The link below will take you to a video that demonstrates this feature, specifically near the 1:53 mark.

I am impressed with the quality. It provides great protection for my iPhone. The only think I don't like is that it takes two hands to release the phone from the belt clip.
I bought this case after my two-year-old destroyed three phones. I previously purchased Otterbox cases but switched to Lifeproof. The case is a great color and can be removed with a little effort. I do not like that I have to remove the case to put it on my iPhone docking station.
