Review: Excellent protection - Great case, great price
Review: Awesome case! My phone feels safe. - The directions for putting the case on were seriously lacking (just doodled pictures with no explanation), but a YouTube video was very helpful! Sometimes I pop the outer shell on (part with the belt clip) to make my phone easier to hold. The clip swivels around. It’s easy to take that part on and pull it off. At first I was worried about how the little “door” presses against the charger (long term, pressure on the charger seems like a really bad idea for the charge port. Nothing is worse than a device you have to perform voodoo on --wiggling, moving around, propping it at an angle— to get the charger to connect). I was *so close* to just cutting the door off, but, almost 3 weeks in, I’m less concerned. It is much bulkier than my husband’s symmetry case. I don’t stick mine in my pocket, so the size is no big deal to me. Overall, this is a great case, and it’s worth buying for the peace of mind, knowing my $1000 phone is protected!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you have a phone, you need an OtterBox. The rugged Defender is my preferred protector.
*by Z***E on February 4, 2018*

The first thing I do when I buy a new phone is to purchase an OtterBox to protect it. The defender is my OtterBox of choice because it protects from drops yet slides easily in and out of my pocket. There is no screen cover on this OtterBox, which is great because I always tear mine off of the older models. Screens are pretty scratch-resistant now and don't need covers. Plus, the slightest amount of dust or debris will distract me forever, and it's easier to clean the phone without the screen cover. So I'm glad they abandoned it in this model. To really protect the phone, use the hard screen cover case that comes with the belt clip/viewing stand. Also, the screen is protected by the case on the front side because the lip protrudes from the screen a fair distance. If you dropped your phone pavement, the screen likely wouldn't come into contact with the ground because the lip sticks out far enough. Overall, I would recommend this OtterBox Defender to anyone who has an iPhone (note that this model is for the X only, but they make cases for all iPhone models). I found nothing negative about this product. My last OtterBox defender case lasted over 4 years. 5/5 stars If you found this review helpful, please show some love by clicking the "Yes" button below.
