I have used Otterboxes for my IPhones over the years. I recently bought a new one when the old one failed. I was very disappointed, the design has changed and the quality and durability has been reduced. The new one feels cheap and flimsy. I will no longer recommend Otterbox to my friends.
I bought this case a couple weeks ago and it has been put to the test. It has held up very well. With everything I do for work this case has taken quite a beating but still works and looks new. Otter box has made a great case for iPhones and if your looking for a great case... Stop looking cause you've found one!
I had my sons get it for me when I went from a flip phone to an apple 5c. Had my phone for the last two years .It looks as good as it did two years ago .
the case does not fit my iPhone tightly and is hard to hit the keys on the edge of the plastic front on the front of my case - it is not waterproof either
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi rmoody,
We are sorry that this Defender case is not fitting as well as it should and for any confusion about the case’s capabilities. The fit issue is odd as our cases are designed to fit their device seamlessly. Although the Defender is great when it comes to drops, bumps and scratches it is not waterproof. Please reach out to our friendly Otters at 1-855-688-7269, and we will be more than happy to get a warranty replacement lined up to resolve the fit dilemma.
