Rated 5 out of 5 by from Adequate case, inadequate emails Adequate case to replace the MagSafe case that had disintegrated over the last few years. Hopefully this one will last until my new phone. One star because the unsubscribe link to the review request emails did not work.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from PROTECTING MY INVESTMENT Purchased about a month ago. So far so good. Case is slimmer that I thought it would be. Less bulky the the on I purchased for my Iphone 4 and Iphone 6s. Besides being slimmer it is also missing the plastic screen protector the previous cases had. So, I will have to purchase a screen protector separate. Time will tell how the case holds up.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Effective protection affordable price Case looks attractive but is not so bulky as to change the feel of the phone dramatically. Included belt clip works very well and make the purchase feel like a good value. Lack of a screen covering means you really need a separate screen protector but I don’t consider this a drawback. The last two cases I had from Lifeproof had plastic screen protection as part of the case and I never liked the feel of that. Would definitely purchase this system again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very Disappointed I have used Defender cases for a decade. I was shocked and disappointed when the new fade arrived. The case doesn’t protect the screen! Couldn’t believe it since they always have. I will likely NEVER buy a Defender case again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not as protective as previous design Bought 2 for my kids to protect their new phones and selected Otterbox due to how happy I was with defender case for my husband’s Xs Max. The new 12 case is sleeker in design, but only beveled at the top and bottom, and pretty flat at the sides. One kid dropped his phone flat on the face and cracked the screen shield I placed on it, which will already need replacement. Not the protection I was hoping to get unfortunately. Please rethink the design.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Doesn’t fit well with screen protector I bought the iPhone 12 pro defender case a month ago. I was disappointed that there were very few colour options compared with years past. The design is pretty sleek and it feels nice in your hand. It also shipped ridiculously quickly over the holidays. I’m not sure how well it will protect the screen from cracks as the lip around the screen edge is very shallow. My biggest issue with this case is that it does not work well with the screen protector. I got the amplify Pro iPhone 12 glass screen protector from Otterbox to go along with the case but the two do not fit together. The edge of the case is constantly causing the edge of the screen protector to pop off. They are not really designed well to be used together which is disappointing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Like the otter box case I have had otter boxes for my last two phone and loved them. The design was great for protecting my phone and easy access to the charging port. This iPhone 12 plus case has fewer colors to choose from and the biggest issue is the port to charge the phone. All the other ones had the flap to charge open from the front to the back. The new one opens from the back to the front. I can see the charging access flap wearing down fast and break off.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It’s a better than average case I’ve always used Otter box for my iPhone’s. I like the protection. I don’t mind the additional bulk it gives the overall profile of the phone. You get used to it and don’t notice it. It’s worth the protection. The plastic frame of the case (the part under the silicon can be a little challenging to take off at times. But, nothing that can’t be handled. I don’t like that the newer cases don’t come with screen protection. The older cases (like for an iPhone 7 Plus) came with a plastic cover for the phone. Now, you have to get a separate screen protector in addition to the Otterbox. For example, my Otterbox defender foe my iPhone 12 Pro. I have a separate screen protector film in addition to the Otterbox case. Other that the screen protector m, the cases are perfect.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great case I just upgraded my iPhone 6s to the 12 and man what a difference. I never thought I needed the bigger screen, but now I can’t go back. I had the fear that the robust case would then make my phone to big and chunky, but it’s not too noticeable. I’ve already dropped the phone a couple times and my otter box has protected my investment.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect protective case for my new iPhone 12 I’ve been using Otterbox for years now (commuter,etc. I was a little hesitant to get the Defender for my new iPhone, because I thought it might be too bulky and overkill. I’m so glad I went ahead and tried it, it exudes quality, has a great feel to the materials, and adds just the right amount of “heft”. For me I can’t imagine a better case for this phone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Poor design for iPhone 12 Every iPhone Otterbox I've purchased previously i.e. iPhone 7 and earlier... the defender case has a built-in screen protector. However, the iPhone 12 defender case no longer has a screen protector. This is a serious design flaw in my opinion since the screen is much more vulnerable to damage. The engineering of the defender case should have been designed to include a necessary screen protector. Now I have to go and purchase an aftermarket clear screen protector that will be less safe For my screen than my previous defender cases because of this I cannot give high marks for the iPhone 12 Defender case.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Feels Great. The rubber on this case feels super. It feels like a tire wrapped around my phone. The pattern on the back looks durable so it won’t fade or scratch off. The back is nicely padded and had a smooth feel. The buttons all work perfectly. I don’t think this case will work with the magsafe wireless charger. The clip on belt holster is secure and functions as a stand. Holster itself holds the phone both ways so you can protect your screen with it. Missed the mark with no MagSafe compatibility.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from iPhone 12 Pro Otterbox Defender case review I bought this case for my iPhone 12 Pro. It is an excellent case with one exception. The Otterbox defender case for the iPhone 6s came with screen protector included. Now the screen protector is a $60 upgrade. I find a $60 screen protector for a $60 case a little over priced. Had the screen protector been $15 to $20 that would have seemed fair.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Solid and dependable case This is a very good case. I used one for years with my iphone 6, and then now again with my iphone 12. Two minor "complaints" : 1 I dropped the phone in its belt holster on concrete and the holster broke - perhaps not a fair complaint, and a replacement is reasonably priced. 2) I dropped it on concrete because, the small lip on the holster belt clip which prevents the holster from being lifted up from the belt is a little to narrow, such that it doesnt really grab on to thicker belts too well. Overall, these are minor complaints, and Otter Box is an excellent company and makes an excellent product - would buy again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from As good as ever, alpha glass fits w/case I was super skeptical after reading reviews. Almost went with another case based on reviews. I’ve rocked an otterbox back to the iPhone 7, and have never been disappointed. The defender for the iPhone 12 is crazy great. Less bulky then previous cases, which is a bonus. No, there is no screen protector. Bummer. Despite other reviews, ALPHA GLASS FITS THIS CASE. Bubbles, yes. Just work them out. I just did it, took me maybe 5-10 minutes start to finish, case back on with no issues period. Thats what actually prompted me to review...i never review stuff, but didn’t want anyone to shy away like I almost did. Everything fits; line up screen protector correctly when installing, work out bubbles (which sucks, but not hard), put in defender case, done. I’m so happy I went with my gut on this one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My favorite case After trying a few different cases for my iPhone X, I bought the Otterbox Defender and loved it. When I upgraded to the iPhone 12 pro I tried a few different cases but wasn't happy with any of them. Decided to spend the money for another Defender case and am glad I did. Right away I knew it was what I was looking for. After using it for a few weeks I still feel the same. The grip is comfortable, it's not too heavy or bulky, the covered port and switch are a big plus and are easy to work with. I feel confident that my iPhone is well protected and that piece of mind is worth every penny.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great case I love this case. Have used it for years on other iPhones and it does a great job protecting my phone even when dropped out of my hand (by accident). Would definitely purchase again and would recommend to those who are "hard" on things. The only down side is I have not found a screen protector (for 12 pro) that won't bubble under this case. Still on the look out for one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Otter Box Yet I'm a General Contractor. I need maximum protection, I buy the Defender. I also like keeping a slimmer case, a Symmetry for church on Sundays. I traded my iPhone 10R for a new 12 PRO and needed new cases. I ordered both. After seeing and using the newly designed Defender, I'm returning the Symmetry. I haven't taken it out of the box. This Defender in ALMOST as small as my old Symmetry case. Defender - BEST CASE EVER JUST SAYIN"

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Only Otterbox for Us We’ve only used Otterbox for our iPhones and have never been disappointed. After upgrading from an iPhone 8 to a 12Pro, it was a surprise that the new cases do not have an integrated screen protector. The salesperson at the phone store applied a separate glass screen protector when we purchased our new phones...he made it look easy, but I think we would’ve struggled a bit on our own. The combination seems to be working great so far, but I cannot comment on its durability. We’ve never suffered so much as a crack with our Otterboxes before, so I trust that this is a quality product, too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The best cases ever Every time I buy a new phone, I insist on buying an Otterbox Defender specifically. They are hands-down the best cases to truly protect your phone. I am clumsy and drop my phone all the time. I've *knock on wood* NEVER had any damage to my phone because I protect it with this case. The Defenders are by far the most rugged, most truly protective cases and worth every penny. Even though I use my phone a lot and beat it to heck, I typically only have to buy a case once for each phone, even if I hang onto it for three or four years like I did with the last one. One note for possible improvement: I wish you could choose to buy the phone without the big plastic belt clip or with it. I never use the clip, I don't need it, and I always feel very wasteful just throwing it out.

The new Otter Box I have for my iPhone 12 Pro fits very well and appears to be very rugged, so I am ready for another 2.5 years.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Protective and great color I purchased the defender case in Berry Potion for my new iPhone 12. I love the color. It's very rich and not flashy. The case is very durable and protective of my new purchase. The only thing that I don't love is that all openings are covered such as the mute button and charging point. This just means I have to open those every time to access them. It's not a deal breaker for me but I would have been happier without extra protection in those areas. I also had to go online to find a video to know how to install the case. The video was excellent if you need help.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent and functional iPhone case I have been using my Otterbox Defender case on my iPhone 12 Pro for over a month and am delighted with the protection, ergonomics and functionality of the case. It provides a highly protective case without too much bulk, an excellent non-slip grip, and the three-piece design makes it a piece of cake to install or remove from the 'phone. The port covers work very well and do no present any impediment to switching modes from silent to ring or inserting a Lightning cable. The Defender accommodates a screen protector with ease and the additional belt-clip piece when installed over the front of the iPhone makes a bulletproof screen cover. I utilize USB-to-Lightning for charging since I have a house full of legacy charging solutions, so I haven't missed wireless charging that some users have reported non-functional or impaired with the case installed. All in all, an excellent case and I would certainly purchase it again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Defender no longer the best rugged case. I have an IPhone 12. For the past 15 years I have only had otter box cases on my phone. The customer service was amazing, the case was top notch. I work in industrial environments and extreme weather. I need a case that can protect my phone from drops, grease, corrosives, dirt, dust and water. And still function when I need to access it. Unfortunately the “screenless” defender is the breaking point. With the old defender I could always buy a new otterbox case and replace my rubber and screen when they get too worn. I need a phone with a full seal to keep my rough fingers and dust from getting into the phone. I could really care less about the wireless charging or the gaming aspect with quick touch. Otterbox needs to continue their line for those who work in manufacturing, construction, shipping, and materials. Our company. What I and several others want from Otterbox is full phone protection, and a belt clip, this includes a screen which we can replace at ease when scratched and too dirty. Otterbox please come back to us that you have forgotten about. I can no longer refer fellows workers and family towards this specific case.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best All-Around Protective Case I have been searching for different types of phone cases for my iPhone 12 Pro. I just wanted something that would protect my phone and screen without being too complex. The OtterBox Defender Series has accomplished just that. I was very impressed by the durability and engineering that went behind the design of this case as it forms exactly to the phone without compromising access to any of the phone's ports or features. The only suggestion I would have is that although I would not classify this case as bulky as it is just the right balance, but I would say that the footprint of the case is larger than my previous case.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Bring back built-in screen protectors! I’ve been using the defender cases on my phones for 10years, this is the first one without a screen protector and it’s annoying. I’ve tried a few other screen protectors in combination with the case but the case pushes the edge of the screen protector up and creates unsightly bubbles, especially at the corners. Otherwise, same ol same ol. Protects my phone well enough. Got 5 years out of my iPhone 7 thanks to the Defender, hopefully I’ll get 5 out of my iPhone 12 with these cases too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Otter box defender I love this style otter box. I have a work issued phone and this time around they gave us the less expensive otter box.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good case I feel really secure with how protected my phone is by this case, the silicone being on the outside of the case makes for a better grip than the old defender styles that had the silicone on the inside, the one downside to this is that if you use a pop socket or other grip accessory that attaches with an adhesive it won’t work with this case, I had to buy an additional accessory from pop socket to use one on this case. Additionally better coverage around the cameras might be nice, rather than just having the case create a recessed pocket over the cameras maybe a fitted covering around the camera would be better.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Horrible Product This is my sixth OtterBox and will be my last unless the Company improves the product. I loved all of my previous OtterBox cases as they came with a screen protector that didn’t need to be glued to the phone’s screen. The entire reason I got the Otter Box for $60 was to protect my screen, but only the outside cover came, and the website was not clear that it was not included. The screen protector, another $60, was a total waste of money. The first one came all cracked as it was just put in a flat envelope without any cushion to protect during shipping. In order to get a replacement, I needed to talk to Customer Service, and it took over 40 minutes to get someone on the line. Installation of the screen protector wasn’t easy as shown in the video. The screen protector didn’t line up correctly, and every time the OtterBox case was put back on, the bubbles would appear. I pressed bubbles to the edges with the squeegee, and they were not there prior to putting the phone back in the case but will show up afterward. I had to redo it three times, and it’s not easy to take the phone out of the plastic OtterBox shell, the bubbles still appear on the screen. Horrible product, I would not recommend it to anyone!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love the feel of the case in my hand I had an OtterBox case for my 6S, and it lasted two years before the charging flap finally fell off. I use it hard, in dusty environments, so I knew I needed one for my 12. I love the feel of it in my hand--it seems to be a non-slip material, which is great for me. The only issue was trying to get a screen protector to fit. There is still an air bubble in one corner, but I can live with that.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from What a Lifesaver This is the 5th. Otterbox case I have purchased and could not be happier. I recently purchased a brand new I phone 12 pro with the Otterbox Defender case. I literally had my new phone a day with the Otter box case and dropped it on a grocery market store floor. Once again, the case literally saved me from disaster, since the phone cost $1,109. I would DEFINITELY recommend you purchase the Otter case to protect your I phone, or any other phones.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not compatible w/ all Qi wireless charging systems I recently upgraded my phone and case (previous otterbox case to an iPhone 12 mini and Defender Pro case. It clearly called out wireless charging compatible, however, upon receiving my new phone and case, the new case will not allow charging via my 2020 Toyota's Qi charging station. Ironically, my previous phone and otterbox case worked perfectly fine on said Qi charging station. I know it is the case because i took off the new case on placed my iPhone 12 Mini on the Qi charging bed successfully. Lack of testing let to an inferior product. Not good Otterbox.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Charging with Defender Plus I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max with an Otterbox Defender Plus. Initially it did not work charging on a Anker Wireless Charger, PowerWave 7.5 Stand. I verified that it was the Defender by taking off the rubber case and placing it on an Anker Wireless Stand/Cradle and it worked. I had bought the Anker Charger, previously, for my iPhone XR and worked flawless with it's Otterbox Defender Plus Case. So, I just expected that I would just use the Apple Lighting Cable for charging. Since Anker Cradle was just sitting there, I turned my iPhone upside down and placed it in the cradle, The charging light turned green. I disconnected the lighting charger and it is still charging on the cradle. So, it's not elegant, but it works.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lip around screen is not adequate I understand the decision to forgo the screencover -- this definitely allows for a better user experience. What I do not understand is why Otterbox did not design a lip surrounding the screen that raises 3 - 3.5 mm above the screen surface. This is the design used on previous Commuter cases, and which afforded excellent screen protection (with no built-in screen protector. If the concern was that the raised edge might interfere with fine editing at the screen border, the 3 mm lip could have been graded down from the outer edge to the current 1mm-high lip on the long edges of the cover. Another concern is that the current lip consists largely of hard plastic in direct contact with the hard glass screen. With the earlier Commuter, nowhere was the glass screen in direct contact with rigid plastic. Rather, the screen was first protected by a thick, shock-absorbing layer of rubber, which was reinforced and held in place by a hard-plastic outer shell. I am not convinced that the current Defender design is very protective of the screen. The screen deserves a lip that's just as protective as the lip around the rear multi-camera assembly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Horrible Product This is my sixth OtterBox and will be my last unless the Company improves the product. I loved all of my previous OtterBox cases as they came with a screen protector that didn’t need to be glued to the phone’s screen. The entire reason I got the Otter Box for $60 was to protect my screen, but only the outside cover came, and the website was not clear that it was not included. The screen protector, another $60, was a total waste of money. The first one came all cracked as it was just put in a flat envelope without any cushion to protect during shipping. In order to get a replacement, I needed to talk to Customer Service, and it took over 40 minutes to get someone on the line. Installation of the screen protector wasn’t easy as shown in the video. The screen protector didn’t line up correctly, and every time the OtterBox case was put back on, the bubbles would appear. I pressed bubbles to the edges with the squeegee, and they were not there prior to putting the phone back in the case but will show up afterward. I had to redo it three times, and it’s not easy to take the phone out of the plastic OtterBox shell, the bubbles still appear on the screen. Horrible product, I would not recommend it to anyone!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from “Second To None” Since the advent of the IPhone, I have only used Otterbox products, the Defender Series, for my device. It is, without a doubt, the best case on the market. Why, you ask? Because it allows you to actually have a firm grip on your phone, while using it. In addition, Otterbox makes sturdy cases that will protect you phone, like no other. Get an Otterbox. Don’t be fooled when vendors say, “oh, it’s just like an Otterbox, not! It isn’t and you will be wasting your money. All the best and order your Otterbox today. You will be glad you did.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I Ran Over My Phone Okay, so...today was just an awful no good, very bad day! I hopped up in my big Jeep Wrangler and my phone must have slid off my lap onto the parking lot at work. Unknowingly, I took off to move my vehicle to a closer parking spot. I RAN OVER MY PHONE!!! I searched frantically in the Jeep looking for it and even went back inside my work place to see if I’d left it there. I then realized I must have dropped it in the parking lot. I did the short drive of shame to go see if it was there and what was left of it. To my surprise, it was indeed and had been ran over. *yikes*! I picked it up and upon first observation, the screen looked mutilated. I got back into the Jeep to do more investigation. To my surprise, I was able to peel back the glass shield on my screen to reveal a perfectly intact screen! *whew* But, I felt like this was too good to be true, so I took the case off to fully observe the bare phone. It was perfect. I can say, the Otter Box plus the glass shield is apparently tough enough to be ran over. Great product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Defender Saved my Phone Twice I’ve been using the Otterbox Defender for several years now to protect all of my iPhones, and I would never consider using any other phone case. The Defender has saved my phone on two separate occasions. The older ones were a bit clunky, but the new one is slimmer, which I like better. My only complaint is that there are hardly any colors to choose from for the Defender, and I don’t really like any of the colors that are available, and it’s always been that way. But, I still use it, though, because of the protection it provides. The lack of color options is the reason for a four star rating, instead of five.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Disappointed Just purchased my Defender Series Case for my iPhone 12. I’ve had the Commuter Series for years and years and chose to move to the Defender for the extra protection. The plastic “frame” snapped as I was trying to install it. The plastic part is different from the plastic that was on my Commuter case and it seems so much more fragile! All in all the case once installed seems like it will protect my phone. I had my iPhone 6 forever and the Commuter kept it brand new through my drops and bangs. I’m also not thrilled that I have a pretty berry case with a black cover/clip.

(Only downside is that MagSafe doesn’t work, but I can live without that.) I previously had an Apple clear case and it just didn’t feel right in my hand, which I attributed to the extra weight and size of my new phone and started having buyers remorse, but after getter the Defender case I *love* my new phone. It feels just right! Thank you Otterbox.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome case I bought this case a few weeks ago from the Amazon Otterbox shop, and so far Im very happy with it. But I do have a question. None of the screen protectors I’ve tried with it work, the edges unstick because of the pressure the case excerts on it. Which screen protector do you recommend, that would work with this case? Help please!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The best protection I have used the Otterbox cases almost since I bought my first iphone. I am very clumsy and drop my phone frequently. This case protects the phone perfectly. I wouldn't consider another case.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Trust my iPhone in a Defender Series Case I have had my old iPhone 8 plus in the Defender case and it protected it many times. When I bought a new iPhone 12 Pro, I looked at and researched many cases and kept coming back to the Defender Series Case. I bought the Zagg screen protector that was case friendly and it works perfectly. It can be a little difficult to reach in on the side button to flip the silent on/off mode but, it's not a deal breaker. The other buttons volume, etc. were not hard to use like some have said. I love my case and trust OtterBox to protect it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect For starters, I have the iPhone 12 Pro in pacific blue. I originally had a clear case to show off the phone’s color but scratches on the case became a problem over time. I wanted to find a case that would give me top notch protection and compliment my color choice in my phone and this case certainly does both. The case itself did not give me any issues with the screen protector already on my phone during installation at all which was easy as could be. I have not noticed any issues using it with some of my wireless charging accessories at all despite the multiple layers of the case. The door over the toggle switch to go from vibrate only to ringtone mode has presented a minor challenge as others have said but for how often I am changing this I have barely noticed the issue. For colors, the green hard shell case inside the teal neoprene is a sort of a lime green which I think compliments the teal nicely as an accent. Looking through the camera hole on the back the blue of my phone and the teal of the neoprene look darn near identical and blend nicely. Overall I am very satisfied with yet another Otterbox purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love my phone case! I’ve had an otter box for my last 3 cell phones and they never let me down! Great durability as I come to expect from them and the color scheme is so visually pleasing! I also liked that they slimmed this model down a bit so not as bulky. Love it

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Smart Purchase I'm in construction and need something to protect the phone from drops, dust, and splatters that occur everyday. It doesn't just protect, it also makes the phone easier to handle and pick up off a flat surface. Only thing I don't care for is the access to the mute switch. You will need tiny fingers or stick to activate it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fixed What Wasn’t Broken I’m not sure why Otterbox changed the design of the defender, but it was a mistake. I don’t care about the screen protector not being part of it, I actually prefer that so I can use a glass one. The slimming down of the case made it terrible. Squeaks and doesn’t even fit together. It felt like it was going to break when I was putting the plastic frame around my iPhone 12. It also didn’t snap together with my phone inside so the fit was terrible. I know two people who had the defender for an iPhone X and XR and those cases are the normal defender. They fit nicely and provide protection well; they aren’t this slimmed down piece of flimsy junk. Also the fact Otterbox charges for return shipping is disgusting and outdated.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worst quality case ever. Kinda sad Im a pretty big otterbox fan but this is brutal. This case is made of probably 3 cents of material. Like a double ply rubber that started pulling apart after a week. They started out strong but me and all my guys at work will probably never buy OB again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good enough OtterBox makes a solid product. There is a lot of competition these days, and OtterBox Has kept its quality in the running. In my opinion, giving the quality of OtterBox’s competition, it is somewhat overpriced, but you charge what the market will bear, I’m sure.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Repeat Had the same case for my previous phone so, that's why I bought this one. It's a great product and I just wasn't going to buy anything different if possible. Can't see why when its case with camouflage pointed out why it would ever be an issue with any outside activity. Then there's the fact you can also be hands free if needed because, of the clip on case gives you that feature too. I would recommend Otter Box products to anyone. It just so happens I love my other Realtree so much, I stuck with it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Otterbox Defender is the Only Case for Iphones We are an Otterbox family. The Defender is the best, especially if you are prone to dropping your phone. There was one time my husband accidentally dropped his phone in the rain. He ran over it twice with our car. He later found it still protected safely in the Otterbox Defender. The case was scuffed up but the phone was protected safely.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very disappointing I purchased this new case at shoppers drug mart in Vancouver within the past six months. I just happened to detach this case and noticed my back panel was cracked badly. Then I checked the case but case was okay. So… Otter box defender case Pros : heavy duty. Won’t crack that easily.(still depends on how you use) Cons : the impact may go through the case and directly damage your phone without damaging the case. I’ve had zero opportunity to take my otter box off my phone since I purchased so I’m100% sure I had the case on when I got these cracks on my phone (although I don’t know when)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I swear by Otterbox cases I have always used Otterbox cases for my iphones over the years. I currently have a soft rubber grip Defender case on my 12 Pro and it has held up well except for one important issue. The flexible soft rubber piece that covers the charging port is torn to the point that it may fall off soon. This is a big issue because I have to have the charging port protected. I always gently use products that I purchase to protect my investment and insure that they last as long as possible, so I was surprised to find this unfortunate issue since I never had it happen with any other Otterbox case that I had over the years, so it was odd that I am having this problem now. I still stand by Otterbox cases, but I am unfortunately going to have to bite the bullet and replace it soon due to this issue.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better than very cheap case but not foolproof I’ve used Otterbox cases for years, so when I upgraded to the IPhone 12 PRO a year ago, I bought a new Otterbox to go with it. The case is a bit clunky but that’s the supposed tradeoff for protection. Unfortunately, I did drop my phone face down on a flat surface and the screen shattered. Was a $300 bill from Apple to replace the phone screen. The Otterbox has a raised lip around the screen, but this appears to not have protected the phone. I’ve added a glass screen protector to try to prevent another shatter in the future. Besides this, I’ve noticed that the rubber is peeling back a lot from the plastic part of the case when installing the case. Once the phone is in place, this issue resolves. The narrow bit of plastic above the charging port has also cracked. Overall I’m sure my phone is more protected with the case than without. But you could probably get a similar case online without the brand name for less that performs the same.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from True Defense I have only ever purchased Otter Box products to protect my phones for years and years, especially with kids and clumsiness (aka frequent drops), the need for a rubbery case, and overall brand reliability. Sooooo recently I left my phone on the hood of a car and forgot about it (it happens), and it ended up getting run over in the middle of our residential street. THE PHONE WAS FINE. I had the tempered glass protector on the screen and that was all cracked but the phone screen was completely protected and fine. Not a scratch. The case saw a crack here or there and there were legit tire marks on the back(!). I replaced both anyway, but man was I relieved and thrilled with the protection this case had against getting run over by a literal vehicle.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best investment to avoid that $18 month insurance I have loved every OtterBox I have ever owned. They start to wear out just about after the warranty runs out which is about a year. I plug and unplug a lot in my vehicle so the little flappy door covers the charger begins to break, but it takes about one year till this is the best investment as opposed to paying $18 a month for insurance . When I buy a new phone, I already have the otter waiting for me at home I have dropped this phone out of a pick up truck many times on the ground and it has always held up. I don’t even have a scratch cover. OtterBox is the best investment for your phone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Defending the Defender! Rugged yet slim. Protective yet not limiting. Functional without also being gaudy! This Otter Box like it’s predecessor, protects your phone from you the user, in preventing damage to the phone. I don’t know about you, but I drop my phone likely once a week, and in all of the years, I have used Otter Box Defender series cases, I have never had a damaged phone. Why would you not protect your expensive investment so that you do not have the inconvenience and added cost of having to replace the phone. Otter Box also has a great warranty!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not as good as defender for iPhone 10 I just started using this for a week it’s good but The inside protective case is not as strong as The last case I had. Also I had questions when looking to buy a case and no one was available. I even tried The virtual helper and no one or thing was available. For $60 it should have come with a screen protector. I had to pay $39 for a screen protector. Not empresses

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Finally Fixed a Long-standing Annoyance! The iPhone 10 Pro Defender and iPhone 11 Pro Defender cases ( and ones before had stiff rubber over all the side buttons, making them very hard to depress (and hold). The new iPhone 12 Pro case has fixed this, and the buttons are now easy to push. Yay!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing Case but screen protectors bubble Most protective case I’ve owned. Not too bulky. I’m having trouble finding a screen protector to fit as they all bubble around the edges. Will contact customer service for suggestions.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Poor Quality Control and No One Cares! This is a replacement case for another defender case that lasted only one week. The original case had a raised plastic bump on the belt holster that retained the phone in the holster. The plastic bumps broke off within a week and the phone could no longer be retained in the holster. I could not get int touch with anyone at Otterbox because of limited phone hours. I did order a warranty replacement through the website but was charged shipping even though the phone case was defective. I am sorry, but I cannot recommend your company's products and I will not buy from you again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not Bad Let me start by saying I’ve trusted Otterbox with every cellphone I’ve had for the past 8 years. The Defender Series has saved my phone’s life so many times. This one for the iPhone 12 Pro isn’t bad. It’s much slimmer than Defender Cases in the past. I wish the ridges or bumper were a bit deeper where the screen is. The one for the iPhone XS was much deeper and I felt comfortable if my phone fell face down. Now I’m kind of scared that if the 12 pro fell face down, it could potentially crack the screen since it’s so thin. I’ve paired it with the otterbox blue light screen protector. It fits perfects. I hope they come out with a defender series with the built in pop socket. It would be super convenient for those of us with small hands and larger phones.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Disappointed The case surrounds the body of the phone but does not protect the face. Very disappointing. All other Otterboxes that I purchased had protection for the screen, but NOT this one. Won’t buy again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great except screen protectors don’t work Great drop protection. But 3rd party stick on screen protectors are too big because the case slightly covers the 4 edges of the screen. I assume the $50 Otterbox screen protector would fit well. Still hunting for alternatives

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I need it!! I have been using Otterbox cases since I got my first iPhone 3. I cannot count how many times I have dropped my phones over the years, and after having my iPhone 12 for a week I’ve already dropped it a few times. No worries, though. I’ve been using their products for a decade and have never once needed phone replacement insurance. 10/10

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Could Be Better!! I loved the old otter box and it prompted me to buy another. However, the new one in the Defender is screenless. Purchased a separate screen protector but when you put the case on, the screen bubbles. Otter box needs a built in screen protector. Can’t live without one. !

Rated 5 out of 5 by from VERY NICE All my previous iPhones had OtterBox cases and never disappointed, fits perfect the iPhone 12 pro , looks good and feels great when holding. I wish it was easier to take it down if needed but not a big deal. You can’t use it with MagSafe, phone doesn’t charge through the case , again not a big deal, protection is more important. Trusted brand, strongly recommend it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Routine otter box purchaser I bought this otterbox for the 12 pro and am a little disappointed. I have always sworn by otterboxes for my iPhone bc of the level of protection they offer. The new cases no longer come w a built in screen protector which I’m not a fan of. I tried buying a protector from a different website but the size is not compatible with the case. Otterbox sells glass screen protectors but for a extremely steep price. Overall, I am content w the case but I do not think I will purchase another otterbox due to the screen protector issue.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Too Thick for Wireless Charging? I've always used OttterBox Defender series cases for my previous iPhones, but unlike previous models, this iPhone 12 case is apparently too thick to permit easy wireless charging. It has to be perfectly positioned on my Qi-certifed charger at home and will not charge on my wireless Tesla Model 3 charging pad. To compound the issue, the two OtterBox cases that might work instead, the Commuter and Symmetry series, are not yet available and in stock.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Same great quality I’ve used an OtterBox for my iPhone 4, iPhone 4s, iPhone 6+, iPad Air, iPod Touch, and now my iPhone 12 Pro. I have never had any damage to any of those devices and keep getting compliments about how all of the devices look like new. I would not consider using anything else. Just wish they offered more color combinations where you could mix and match without paying an up charge.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from No screen protector I know this case is going to protect my I phone but-it is not made as good as my iPhone 8 box-it’s been cheaper made with no screen protector-really!!!!! How much would it cost to add that??? This case does not have slick material like my camouflage case and gets stuck in my pocket when I try to get it out-I ordered 3 from otter box 2 teal and a pink-the pink has same material and gets stuck in pocket also! It’s still a good case but feel for the price and not that much money in materials-plastic and rubber -screen protectors should be included-notice otter box sells them separate-really!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Protecting my investment! When I purchased my iPhone 12, I immediately sent off for an Otterbox Defender for it as well. I wanted the same rugged, reliable protection that kept my iPhone X in great shape the whole time I had it, and got me the maximum refund when it came time to trade it in. My Defender arrived the same day as my new iPhone, and I'm pleased to see the same quality and attention to detail that I have come to expect from Otterbox products. As a recently-retired airline pilot, I can say that Otterbox has been protecting my phones from the hazards of international travel and daily life since the iPhone 5, and I plan to keep it that way for the forseeable future!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Otterbox protection The case fits great on my new iPhone 12. I have always bought Otterboxes for our iPhones because the protection is awesome. I spend way too much on these phones to worry about them getting broken. With Otterbox, we haven't broken a phone yet. My last phone that had an Otterbox on it got ran over by a pickup truck and it didn't break. Amazing! Will continue to purchase the Otterbox for the great protection! Thanks!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Need to bring back screen protector The case does well enough to protect against drops and impacts, but it sucks that my less than a year old phone has scratches on the screen from the lack of a built in screen protector. I know you can add one, but they bubble/look terrible. Price of case should go down if you’re going to remove great features

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Indestructible case I ran over my phone with my car and had my defender series case on it. The phone and Case are absolutely fine. I have dropped my phone so many times and it is perfectly fine. This case is virtually indestructible in my opinion. Case has a nice grip to it and it is easy to access the various areas to plug things in or change the volume. The case has a lot of durability.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Extremely disappointed I’ve had at least 5 defender cases over the years. While I did know this one does not have an integrated built in screen protector, I am still very disappointed that it does not. I am used to carrying my phone in my hand, purse, pocket and holster. I have already broken one screen protector in the month that I’ve had my iPhone 12. So now I have to be extremely cautious all the time. Maybe otterbox can change their mind and offer a built in screen protector. Their other brand is overkill for my needs. I am not an underwater sports person.
