I'm so glad I waited and ordered an Otterbox for my phone. I got the color I wanted and I know my phone is in good hands. It's grippy and easy to hold, so I'm not afrraid of dropping it- Thanks Otterbox :-)
I have tried the vast majority of high-protection cases and easily decided to stick with the Defender. For me it is the best balance of what I want in a case: tough, decent price, color selection (basic black or high visibility), mix and match the two main parts of each case to get different color combos Otterbox doesn't offer (I buy 2 or 3 different-colored cases), and easy to put on your phone. It also slides easily in and out of my back or front pockets as it is not too bulky like many competitors cases.
Use my I Phone with my Otter Box Defender Carrier in a manufacturing environment and it works great, easy access / removal / entry with no issues. Wouldn't use anything else. Highly recommend......
The case itself has already saved my iPhone6 S as the belt clip slipped off my belt when getting out of my car and both hit the parking lot where I work. The Otter Defender Case did its job and saved my iPhone6 S; however, the belt clip has come loose three times, but I was able to notice it two of the times and saved my iPhone from dropping to the ground. The Otter Defender Case is great and I'm happy with it, but the belt clip needs something to lock it into place on a belt, something in addition to the spring tensioner as that has loosened up on three different occasions.
My husband has the same case and it has lasted through his rough jobsites so when I bought a new phone I thought I would like to protect it. Great buy only thing I don't care for is that I need an extender to charge it if you are using any of the alarm clocks.
