I bought this Otterbox because my original one was broken (after dropping Lord knows how many times in 4 1/2 years). Never did the phone or screen saver have issues. This new box encloses the phone better than the original. I have little strength in my right hand due to arthritis, so I have dropped my phone already and it is still okay. If the box would break, it is very much less expensive to replace it than have to replace a broken phone. It is a very good buy for the protection it provides.
