Otterbox DEFENDER review

[rault18]

Time to get this case reviewed right?

Honestly, if i had to choose between this and the commuter i would pick this one up. Feels really solid and after a 10 mile hike at zion with some drops , it proved its point.

enjoy

Yeah, u forgot one thing though. The builtin screen protector sucks. I just took mine off yesterday and added a best skin ever screen protector with my defender case and its awesome! Perfect combination.

I think that's just your opinion I personally like it.

This

I like it for what it's meant for. But again I couldn't rock this case on a daily basis

Popped my screen protector out too. Hated how ugly it made the screen

Did the same thing, best case I've used so far. If only the commuter's buttons weren't so stiff that would be my choice.

Love it, very solid... better than the kraken IMO

Would anyone be interested in swapping their white inner hard shell for my black... Raider fans, I'm talking to you

The commuter was such a disappointment

Indeed, I mean it brings the quality down like a mofo. But I use it as a hiking case con can't deal with so much bulk on a Daly basis

Same issues here except my USB cover is still intact. Luckily tho sprint offered me a 1 yr warranty through them so i'm gonna get a new 1 soon.

Do you replace your batteries? How often do you remove your cover?

Same thing happened to mine right after the 2 month mark. I sent an email to otterbox, they requested proof of ownership and in less than a week they sent me a new case at no cost.

That happen to mine, Within in a month mine was real loose, good thing I bought it at a local att store so they replaced it, had the new one for a few months and it's not loose at all. Maybe they had defects on some.

When you say a new case, do you mean holster/case? I was walking and my holster caught something and the clip broke off. The case is also squeaky and the lip of the case is getting loose and is starting to expose the plastic edges.

Cool. I'll fire off an email to them then. I have my zoogue cases and will probably order a UAG, commuter, or ballistic to hold me over.

 

[burntrat]

Are you guys taking the case on and off frequently or just naturally happens?

And by proof, is the original packaging good enough?

 

[mikec86]

Yeah the corners don't have a rail like the sides to snap into. They're sending me a complete otterbox to replace mine. Maybe they have fixed the design.
