This is my second Otterbox Defender case for my iPhone 6, The first case, the plastic part that covered the screen cracked in two places and the buttons rubbed off the rubber cover over time. The rubber cover also split at a corner and was loose on the plastic parts. The old case was several years old and well worn as I kept my phone in my pocket when I was walking around. It would have been nice just to “buy” a part I needed, but with needing two parts of the three it was cost effective to just buy a whole new case. When this new case wears out, I will buy the new iPhone out that year.
I kept dropping my phone with the other flimsy cases and got a small crack on the edge. I knew I needed to protect it so I got this. Screen protector (without having to deal with the peel and stick and bubbles and headache) and phone protector all in one. The only thing I don't love about it is that the protective parts stick out and make it uncomfortable to hold the phone in my hand and search. I'm sure I'll get used to it, but either way, it's worth it to protect my device.
I have used OtterBox for years and have never had a cracked or broken screen even though my phone got dropped daily in the active job that I had . I purchased a white holster said that I could find my phone I often lay it down on dark countertops and can’t find it said the white really makes it stand out I love OtterBox and every phone I have will have one
The Defender I phone case is great. The color stands out so I can easily locate the phone in my cluttered purse. The case is sturdy and makes allows you to handle the phone with ease.
Bought this because I’m a Nana of 2 and 2 months old and I’m constantly on the run . The 2 year old loves to grab my phone this has the protection I was looking for. I wasn’t sure about the clip but found that I love it because it’s handy to grab instead of trying to find it in my pocket book. The only down fall is it doesn’t fit all iPhone chargers and that I have to take the cases off to charge. They should make that insert bigger. That’s why I only gave it 3 stars.
I would recommend this to a friend!
