It's very durable, and I like the the plastic and rubber combo to keep my phone safe! My only suggestion would be to not get it in white because it gets dirty fairly easily.
I had two similar cases for my iPhone 4S that worked extremely well so I purchased one for my new iPhone 5S. I find the front outer edge of the plastic shell has a sharp edge probably left from the molding process on it that the 4S case did not have. I find this sharp edge irritates my ear when holding the phone to my ear while talking. If using a hands free it's not a issue. Other than that, the color and the fit to the phone is Great. Button and protective covers all work extremely well. Great Protection for the phone...
Pros: High quality, Durable, great phone protection
Otterbox honored their warranty on this item. Phone was dropped & a large piece of the plastic case broke off on the corner. Part was replaced free of charge. Thank you.
This is my third commuter that I owned. All my iPhones are in outstanding working condition, this happen; in great part to the "outstanding product" Otter Box has created. Bike riding, mount climbing and exposure to extreme weather conditions. The case and phones have work perfectly.
I drop my phone all the time and my phone has never been damaged. I cracked the bottom of the case once, filed a claim and had a new one in a couple days. Great service.
