I have a knack for dropping my phone at the worst possible moments. Since I have had my otterbox, I have dropped my phone on concrete, countless floors, and even in the lake one weekend where it took me a good 45 seconds to find it and pull it out of the water and it was still working perfectly (the speaker did have to dry out some). I wouldn't trade my case for any other I love it so much!!!!
I love my Green Realtree Outterbox! The Green is so much better then the Orange in my opinion. However, I do wish that all Outterboxes were made a little more air tight so that dust, dirt, sand etc would not be able to still get into the inside of the case I hate that! If they would make a air tight water proof Outterbox it would be the ultimate perfect protective case!!!
Cons: doesn't keep dirt out of the inside, not water proof
This is my third otterbox, its the first accessory I get when I buy a phone. I am a firefighter/paramedic, so I am hard on my phones and otterbox protection has never let me down. This latest version would get a 5 star rating, but it doesn't seem to fit as nice as previous ones that I've had (which could just be the difference in phones also) The plastic "creaks" when you push on it, like its not held together securely. On that note it has not failed me as far as protection and the color options are cool.
I bought how many cover before I bought Real Tree Otter and it's the best one of all. Except the clear plastic gets scratches too if you dropped it many times where rocky surfaces. But Otter will replace it right away & they don't give you a hard time at all!!
The case is great for small things such as little drops and smacks but it does need to be a little more rigid. Also the case fills up with ALOT of dust and the plastic case cracks Farley easy I think that the defender should have some more qualities like the preserver cases
I've had my Outterbox for about three weeks and I love it. After breaking my last phone for waiting to long to get a cover, I feel completely safe. Before the last phone broke, I had a scratch issue on the screen. No scratches at all this time. I do wish though there would have been an option not to get the clip equipment. I knew I would really use it and it seems like a waste but other than that. I love it and its cute too.
It is great protection. My husband and I are heavy users of our phones and we are outdoors quite a bit. The only complaint is that the rubber seal part wore out and tore before a year was up on both of our cases.
