I needed a new silicone skin and a belt clip. I had bought a couple of cheap clips but they didn’t last long. Worth the extra money to buy genuine Otter Box products. They’re durable and made to last
I’ve been buying these since 2014 and whenever I get a new phone, but screen cover (protective plastic lense) wears out too fast. Should have an available replacement part.
I had originally purchased the Apple Defender cases due to great customer reviews and the fact they were originally made in the United States. I can say I will always use an Otter Box case to protoce my cell phone. It saved my Iphone after I took an unexpected dip in the ocean in Alaska. My phone was in my pocket at the time and survived my impromptu swin in the ocean. The phone was completely protected by the Defender series. Go Otter Box and thank you. Benjy
It is a good holder but it is as fragile as the original. The flange clip is not very durable and one must be bery careful not to get it hooked on anything or it will break. I bought it because I still have the otter case which is very good and seems to protect my phone from drops excellently. But the holder is just so so.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Andrew,
Sorry to hear that this Defender series holster seems so fragile! Our products typically go for durable quality rather than delicate, and we're bummed that your most recent experience hasn't quite met this expectation. That being said, we do have an awesome warranty in place just for these circumstances - simply call our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and they'll always be happy to replace any damaged case parts. We'll do our best to keep your protection at peak levels for as long as possible!
I'm glad I made this purchase! The quality (from my first one 4 years ago) has greatly improved! I'm able to click on keys without having to apply a lot of pressure. Glad I took this chance and purchased it!
This isn’t my first time buying Otterbox cases. I have purchased the defender case for past phones and they truly are the best cases out there! I have dropped my phone MANY times and the case really does protect your phone from cracks and scratches. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
This is the second Otterbox case that I have purchased for myself and wouldn't buy any other brand. It protects the entire phone and I have no worries tossing it on the golf cart when playing a round. I've dropped my phones, but with this case, you would never know it.
I've used this type of holster for several years, first with an iPhone 5, now with my iPhone 6. I like the holster because of its convenience for those who don't want to carry a phone in a pocket.
My big complaint, however, is that the holster inevitably breaks at some point, due to the limited fatigue life of the plastic. On the iPhone 5 holster, I had to replace the holster 3 times in five years due to the phone clip tab breaking off. My iPhone 6 holster lasted just over a year before the pivot for the belt clip cracked.
I'd be willing to pay more for a holster of this type if it were made of a more durable material with a longer fatigue life...say carbon fibre.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
