I love how it's an added protection. I don't know how many times I've dropped my phone, and a plastic case would NOT have protected it. I love my otterbox, and although it isn't necessarily that colorful, I will never go with anything different.
Thanks for a great product!
Pros: High quality, Durable
I would recommend this to a friend!

Have used ONLY OtterBox cases since my first iPhone (now on 5th one). Tried a couple of others & prefer OtterBox. If I had a dollar for everytime I've dropped my phone I'd be rich.
Pros: High quality, Durable
I would recommend this to a friend!

The case offers medium-duty protection and adds a nice wight and feel to the phone without being too cumbersome. The phone slid off the roof of a car to the street; the pastic shell was damaged but the phone was fine. Otterbox replaced the shell @ no cost. There are a few negatives that would keep me from purchasing this model again.
The silicone covering the power button makes it very difficult to depress the button or hold it down. It almost takes two hands to turn the phone on as you have to place your tendons into overdrive to press the button with 1 hand. It's an awkward motion.
The silicone covering the lightning charge port is very thick and doesn't stay open as you put the charge cable in. Either changing the flap resistance or eliminating it altogether would be a better design. Ditto the headphone port, which, because of the shape of the outer plastic shell, does not allow all headphone jacks to sit fully in the port. My headphones would not go all the way in unless I took the plastic shell off. That is a huge flaw.
Last issue I have is with the silicone around the mute button. The silicone is thick and the opening is small making it hard to get a finger in to flick the mute. You have to angle your fingertip in straight to touch the button; Again its sort of an awkward motion.
Overall I love the protection the case gives but thick silicone combined with some design flaws makes the phone harder to use.

Pros: Durable
Cons: silicone makes mute/power buttons hard to activate, flaps over headphone and charge ports cumbersome, cutout for headphone jack not large enough
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The inner protection seems good, the only thing i did not like is the lightning port cover which did not lock correctly into the solid part of the shell, sticking out a bit and looked kinda messy. I dealt with the issue by cutting away the rubber piece and leaving the port unprotected.
I also have a belkin dock which does not work with this cover since the connector is wider, i used a dremel to widen the bottom of the solid shell.

Overall i would still recomend this cover, it protects very well without making the phone too bulky and heavy.
Pros: Durable, thin design, light weight
Cons: port cover does not stay on, poor screen protection
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love this case but I have been told that my case looks "worn" and "well loved". As I use my phone for my job frequently, those comments are not so welcoming.
The silicon part of my case has started to break down and the outer coating of the silicon part of the case is shredding off. I would recommend this case to anyone who is clumsy like me, but just warn them that it doesn't stay as crisp looking for as long as just the hard plastic cases out there.
Pros: Durable
Cons: silicon breaks down over time
I would recommend this to a friend!
