Upon recommendations from friends I finally bought the Defender for my Galaxy S5 after two instances of a competitors model failed while attached to my belt. Fortunately, there was no damage to the phone, but I didn't want to try my luck a third time. Although it has only been in use a few weeks I like the quality of construction. The phone controls are easy to use in the case and the case is secure to my belt.
I have abused mine so bad and it is still fine. bought another one just because it is an old phone and eventually I wont be able to get another case like this.
I need to return it. I went to their website to purchase and put in the phone type I have. I was thrilled to see they had covers since it's an old model. While very expensive, I figured it was worth it. I had bought one in the past and needed to replace it because it cracked and broke into pieces. Imagine my disappointment when the cover was WAY to big. Now I have to go through the hassle of returning it. Ugh. And yes, I did put in the correct phone model information.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi Alleycat,
We're sorry to hear that this Defender series didn't end up working well for your phone! This is definitely strange, since as long as you have the Galaxy S5, that case should fit seamlessly on the phone. Regardless, our friendly Otters will be happy to take over, so please feel free to call them at 1-855-688-7269. They'll provide assistance in processing a return, and help you find the perfect case so that you can still enjoy maximum protection going forward!
Having a phone case that I trust to protect my phone and a warranty that gives me assurance that my phone is protected if the case should fail gives me an awesome sense of confidence.
I love the Otterbox phone case. They provide the best protection for your phone. I have dropped my phone several times even had it in water. The Otterbox has truly saved my phone.
