Overall the case is decent but I didn't like having to lift a tab every time I wanted to plug in a charger or headphones. Since this case isn't waterproof those need to be open. Also didn't care for the plastic cover over the screen. I bought this so because I wanted the belt clip option but decided the bad out weighed the good.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Texasgirl,
We are sorry that the Defender case did not work out for you. The port doors are there to help keep dust and debris out of the auxiliary and charge ports.
Although the Symmetry case does not have a belt clip it also does not have the port doors or built in screen protector, perhaps you would be more interested in that product. Check out the link below for more information on that OtterBox case.
We have phones for work the otterbix cases are on every phone. Ordering the replacement piece was easy the price was great it arrive promptly no worries
I had owned 5 Otterbox Defender series and this is by far the sleekest. The phone is on the larger end so this case helps by keeping design as small, sleek, and minimal as possible. Thew new access tabs are rounded and not square which makes a massive difference.
