THE BEST PHONE CASE FOR PROTECTION!
I’ve been a huge proponent of OtterBox cases for a many years now! I purchase top notch iPhones and I want the very best protection from all the elements.
My phones have been dropped from tall ladders…truck toolbox/bumpers…skid down the roadway…and no damage to the phones.
I wholeheartedly endorse the OutterBox Defender Series cases!

Just okay.
Does the job for now. Disappointed the realtree camo didn’t come in the 16 plus, why only 16? Also, still concerned the flap where the charger goes will eventually break away as it did in my last one.

Poorly Designed and pricey
It’s just ok. Without a cover for the screen it’s not truly protective. Outlet cover is not easy to open and close.. it needs a hinge… it’s basically a glob of rubber. Oh cutout for side button is also awkward.

Get ready for cracked screen protector
Nice enough, but not as good as previous cases. After one week, my screen protector is cracked—something that has never happened with the multiple cases and several phone with the Lifeproof fre cases. We have used only Lifeproof cases for over 13 years. The screen is exposed because the case leaves a large opening for the camera button.

iPhone 16 Plus ok, Wish it came with all the parts
This phone case seems to cover less than all my prior otter box purchases over the last 10 years. There's a lot of of my new iPhone 16+ exposed in my opinion. I was disappointed to learn that there was no screen protector or holster clip included with the purchase of the case. And this is probably the first defender case that I feel is not as robbery or grip easy. I just hope it protects my phone. I ended up having to pick up a local screen protector glass shield thing cause I couldn't wait for that protection to come in the mail since it was a separate purchase.

Not the quality Defender used to be.
We’ve been using Defenders on our iPhones since our very first Apple device (4S). A constant disappointment has been the lack of designs and colors seen in other OtterBox cases, however we overlooked that because the cases always held up well and protected our phones without fail. We sadly report that this version of Defender for 16 Plus is highly disappointing and we worry if it will protect our devices as well as previous models. This case is advertised as thick, however the material seems thinner than previous cases. Older versions always had a drop down or ridge from the edge of the case to the face of the device. The front of the phone and the camera lenses in the back are practically flush with the edge of the case. We have a screen protector on the front and now are considering buying lens protectors as well. The former design with the dropped edge gave an added buffer space to protect from impacts and scratches that this case simply doesn’t have. We’ve also noticed within the last week that the soft cover is already beginning to be loose fitting and bubbling out in the back around the mag safe section and next to the camera button on the side. This sort of wear, loose fitting bubbling in previous defender cases took at least a month before this would occur. Sadly we are actively seeking other options.

It’s ok. Defender series always had the plastic screen protector. So you Still need to purchase a screen protector, so there are cheaper cases that’ll do the same thing.

We shall see…
There is about 1” of the phone that is completely exposed leaving it unprotected. Dropping it on flat ground should be ok. If you drop it around a curb or something similar you are at great risk, in my opinion, to damaging your phone.

Won’t buy again
I purchased this case a bit ago. It feels very flimsy compared to the Fre cases. I don’t like that the camera button is completely exposed. I feel like that allows the case to flex too much. Also without any kind of screen protection your phone is vulnerable to drops etc
