Defender Series

10/10! You can't go wrong by purchasing these cases for your phones! I last purchased this product sometime in 2021, for my new iPhone 12 Pro. You REALLY can’t go wrong. Not nary a dent nor scratch in the last two years and after COUNTLESS falls ranging from mild horror to full-blown PANIC. You'll find the remains of the husk it is becoming submitted as the photos for review so I’d say that $30 for a simple one was well worth the price despite being a bit bulky, but I'll take ensuring my phone is well-protected with the proper screen protector than spend big $$$ on screen repairs! This time, I spent a couple bucks extra and decided on a two-toned design just to spice it up. We’ll see how long this case lasts me. I’d say, the only thing I’m pretty disappointed about is the lack of a grip design on the back of the case as showcased in some promotional photos for this product. I'll update here how long the new one lasts!

pro: perfect fit for iphone 12. different color is nice...no surprises, makes my iphone 12 feel like a new phone. con: none in terms of the protective case itself. However, the plastic belt clip/stand is definitely a lighter plastic and feels cheaper, but that's not the part that protects the phone so no impact on the review. misc: iphone 12 otter box case lasted 3+ years of regular wear & tear. this will carry me through until I get the next new phone for sure. Reason for buying a new protective case is the rubber part of the otter box from usage just cracked and fell apart. The piece that protects the charge port was the first to go, then one of the volume buttons, then finally the power button. At that point I had to turn on/off, lower the volume w/my nail through the case bracket hole. Time for a new case. This is 3+ years of usage and very few drops.

worked for years even after multiple drops.

I had an OtterBox for my iPhone 12 which was worn out. The rubber cover within the plastic case was falling apart. I was glad to discover I was able to find a new OtterBox case for my old iPhone. (I have no intention to replace the mobile device anytime soon.) I like the protective case so much I was glad to purchase another. I consider the case durable but after using it for many years, it needed to be replaced.

The case itself is what you expect if you know of the Otterbox defender series. This is basically exactly like the older ones with rubber on the outside, just without screen protection. If you want screen protection, you might look elsewhere. This is a durable case. But, because of its durability, it is also thick, so keep that in mind. The outer shell with the clip can also be used to prop the phone up, which I have always liked. Personally however, I don’t need the clip part. If you can figure out a way to remove the clip (I am hoping that at some point they make this an option - I have yet to figure out an easy way to do this), then you have a pretty sleek outer case that protects the screen, and you don’t need a tempered glass screen protector. The main thing I’m not a fan of is how thin the top plastic piece is that fits over the outer edge is the phone screen to hold it in the case. This is super thin, and back when these used to protect the screen too it wasn’t an issue because the top clear screen cover added support. Now….I’m not so sure. If you take it apart often, I am sure it won’t last all that long without breaking/cracking. Another thing I don’t like all that much is the color. The color is pretty ugly. I wish there were more options, but there aren’t. These cases are so expensive, and I am sure they cost very little to make - seems expensive for what you get. I’d probably buy a different color in the future, and might get a different name brand case too, but I wanted one that I felt would protect my phone well. As far as protection, this one certainly delivers.

Phone nice and safe

This OtterBox Defender case is fantastic! Strong, durable, and protective, with port covers and a handy holster/kickstand. Perfect for keeping my iPhone safe — highly recommend!

I have always bought Otterbox cases since I’ve bought iPhones. I’ve been teased about how much bigger the case makes my super slim iPhone, but I don’t care. I need the protection the case offers. I have dropped it on the floor, on concrete, out of my car and it’s always been fine. But today, I didn’t realize it was in the pile of laundry I was starting. My iPhone was in the washer for 10minutes when I realized it. I pulled out and was certain it was ruined- but nope. I’m typing this Otterbox review on it right now! I’ll add have a protective screen on the face and another on the camera (because I know who I am) and I’m sure both of those things helped. But it seems all my features are working great!

Great product

Otter box never surprises you! It is the best cover !!!
