The orange border is brighter than I expected which was a pleasant surprise. The back reminds me of hunting and the front reminds me of Harleys since it is on a black phone with the bright orange rim. My husband really likes it.
The quality of this product is the best i have seen in a long time !!. This products fit is excellent !! The protection of the phone is out standing !!! It is also very nice looking . EXCELLENT JOB OTTER BOX !!!! THANKS
As usual Otter Box has designed another outstanding product. Really easy to install & remove. The fit is great. Just make sure you have a good seal between the top and the screen. If you are not careful you can fold the seal underneath itself Do not worry about this. If by chance it happens take a thin item such as a playing card or something similar and gently slide it between the glass and seal and work it out. There is nothing to it. If you have a Galaxy S5 you definitely need a Defender Series box.
It's a nice solid case. The clear screen that covers the front of the phone requires you to press much harder on the screen to scroll or text, but other than that, the case is awesome. It's not huge and bulky like it used to be for the iphone 4.
I bought this phone case for my wife. She is extremely happy with it, and hasn't found anything on fit or function that she didn't like. I'm a little pensive only on the overall size of the product. I do understand that the Galaxy S5 is a pretty decent sized phone, but I have a case that keeps the size increase to a minimum. The only problem that my wife had with it, was the "Real Tree" design was a laminate sticker on the case. She was hoping for a little higher quality for the price of the case. On the other hand she only complained about that at the beginning and has no complaints now. Also, the laminate isn't peeling off.
Pros: High quality, Durable, keeps functionality
Cons: oversized
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfect Case

I have to admit, I was a bit weary of getting another OB after how bulky they were in the past and the poor quality of silicone on the iPhone 4 models, but they have greatly improved with the everything on the GS5 version!
The silicone on the outside isnt the cheap porous one that absorbs oils from your skin and loses shape; the one used on the GS5 is a tougher, more durable silicone.
The plastic shell insert is the perfect size and there is no play within the case itself.
Also, the clip seems to be a better quality as well.
I have yet to drop the Otterbox on the ground because quite honestly, I really never have had a case of the dropsies, but I feel better knowing I have an OB on my phone.
One caution I have to anyone getting an Otterbox for a Samsung 5 Active is they aren't available yet. I ordered one and it fits a Regular Galaxy 5 but NOT the S5 Active. It was my fault for not being specific but the one I got was a perfect fit for my son's S5. Otterbox is the best and remember, You ALWAYS get what you pay for.
