Disappointed in otterbox
I have always used OtterBox for my Iphones. So getting one for my new IPhone 16 was a no brainer. However I did not realize that for the 16 there was no longer a plastic screen protector. I liked having my phone totally encased. Also I do not like the cutout for the camera button on the right side. It is too big and leaves a portion of the IPhone exposed. With my luck I will drop my phone on that exact spot. Also there is no protection for camera lens. If you want total protection I wound not recommend this case.

Product Return Challenges
Beware of customer service issues if you need to return an item. It took me numerous attempts to "get approval to return" the item. The item has been shipped back via the return label provided. It has been tracked with the tracking number associated with the return shipping label and per USPS it has been "Picked Up and Processed by Agent", that was 8 days ago now. Upon attempts to contact Otterbox to get further updates I am told that it is "still in transit", but there has not been anything provided to me to be able to further track beyond the USPS tracking. I have contacted Otterbox several times trying to get an answer about the whereabouts of the return and still nothing other than it is still in transit and it will be processed as soon as they receive it, however processing the refund can take up to 15 days once they receive the returned item. At this point I am doubtful that I will ever get the refund for the returned item, so no I am out both the money and product. Had I known this, I never would have purchased through Otterbox. If you are set on an Otterbox product, purchase elsewhere, where you know that you can easily return an item, if needed.

Overall a decent case. Not a fan of the camera cutout. Leaves that button/area vulnerable, snags on my pocket and the vehicle phone holders I have now don’t work right because the phone sits weirdly due to the massive cutout. I’ve had otter boxes on my phone for years and loved them all, first time I have been a little disappointed with the product.

Quality Phone Case
Quality case that you would expect from Otterbox. Seams to provide good protection without being too bulky or interfering with screen access. Side, edge and back material has a good grip texture making it easy to hold onto. However it also takes a bit more effort to get out in and out of your pocket if that’s how you carry it. Overall I’m very happy with it!

Don’t drop your Otter on the teeter totter!
I have only begun to use the new defender series OtterBox case so right off the bat it looks and feels a little thinner than the one I used for years, that case was a fantastic case that I dropped numerous times on very hard surfaces and the phone never received a scratch but this case is made different, one thing that bothers me is the big cutout for the camera button and as for the protection aspect of the case I cannot say as I’ve not dropped it….. yet, so time will tell.

This case did not protect my phone
The case itself seems strong and very durable. However, the design of this case did not protect my phone when it fell off my counter. Even with the added protection of a screen protector, the glass cracked. I have had several different Otter cases over the years and have never had any damage to my iPhones. This was a first. I am extremely disappointed with this and would not recommend this case to others.

Third Defender in 15 years!
This is my third Otter Box Defender dating back almost 15 years. I have come to enjoy its protection for my phone. I’m not inclined to drop it but when it does slip I can depend on the quality of my Defender. I chose a color to match my phone’s new color. Unlike prior models, there is no protective covering on the screen. I guess I’m trusting the folks at Apple to have me protected there. I love the solid protection of the case and its layers.

My first bad experience with OtterBox
Absolutely the worst experience I've ever had with otterbox, I have been only buying otterbox cases for my phones since I was 14 years old, 12 years later I'm still buying them but this time i recently bought a defender series case as I always do for my new iPhone 16 off the OtterBox website with 25% discount the total came to 68 US After 103 CAD was charged to my credit card I Scramble to cancel the order I was unable to do so And even after leaving a message with customer service the order was shipped. I ended up having to pay $23 Canadian to have it shipped back to OtterBox to then only have 73$ credited to my MasterCard.
Therefore I paid 53$ for absolutely nothing. I ended up buying the same case in the colour green off of Amazon for $58 Canadian After tax
My local mall has these the same cases listed for 101 after tax with no discount. Please do better otterbox. Also not to mention that the design of the case that allows for the new camera button, is it extreme weak point in the case. As it leaves the phone exposed in this area. Within the first week, my glass screen protector had already a chip in it

I have used OtterBox on a few of my phones. Their products are durable and very protective of my phone from drops.
