Always great
Fits perfectly and as always never have to worry about damage to phone with this case, love the real tree camo always well made and the graphic is awesome. I do recommend this case to anyone wanting true protection. And inside package is a code to get free plastic holster that this case is known for so it’s a win win for the buyer, and shipping is free as well so zero cost to get holster after purchase.

Great case—has to be to survive the zero-star holster
I recently upgraded from an iPhone 7 Plus to an iPhone 16 Plus. My eight year-old iPhone 7 Plus is pristine because I have always kept it in an Otterbox Defender case; too bad Apple rendered it useless with software updates (but that's another story). Automatically bought this case for my new phone. It no longer comes with a holster, which I have always used, but they'll send you one for free if you request it on their web site. They needn't have bothered. As great as this case is (even though it no longer includes a screen protector), the holster is terrible. In all the years I carried the 7 Plus in its holster, I can't remember it ever popping out. This one does several times a day, and my phone falls to the ground. So far, no damage to the phone because the case itself is so good, but it's only a matter of time, especially considering how thin the bezel around the display is. I realize Otterbox has no control over Apple's goofy design decisions, like the way this phone is bristling with buttons they had to work around. But come on. Is this holster made by a completely different company? I'm disappointed to say the least, and I'm looking for an alternative. Interestingly enough, my iPhone 7 Plus Otterbox Defender holster seems to work better with this new phone than the one made for it. But if you don't use the holster, great case.

Best protective case.
I have always used the defender series for all my iPads and iPhones. It’s the best and most dependable cover to protect my devices from damage. I can’t tell you how many times in a year I drop my phone or it falls but year after year the phone still works the same. I will only have this brand and style. It’s a little heavier and no fancy colors or styles but it’s worth it for the price and protection of a $1500 phone. Besides I actually like and use the belt clip. I was never a fan of putting my phone in my purse or a pocket. It’s super accessible and I don’t have to carry it. I have used other brands but none match the protection of the defender series.

Reliable case
Great case, always dependable. If you buy a new phone that needs to be protected, you cannot go wrong with this brand. I’ve dropped my phone more times than I can count and I have zero cracks on my phone. I believe you get what you pay for, and this is the brand case I’ve ever found.

Small flaw in design.
It’s a good case except the camera button being exposed. I had a case before this one and it was slippery so I dropped it a few times but screen protector never cracked, I purchased this one hoping if I dropped it my phone it would be more safe especially the screen from cracking.Well, because of the uncovered gap where the camera button it I have cracked my screen protector twice in 1 week when it fell out of my pocket in that exact spot. I like otter box but that is a flaw.

Nice protective case
My granddaughter seemed very appreciative of the case that I purchased for her it certainly looks sturdy enough. She has not put it on yet but I think it'll be fine. Outterbix always makes a great product.

Heavy duty phone cover
Heavy duty, iPhone cover for my new phone. Otter box always makes the quality product specially good for clumsy individuals.

Expected Quality and Protection for your Mobile Device
Pretty much every iPhone I have ever owned has gone into an OtterBox on day one. I'm pretty protective of my equipment and while I don't get cases for my phones because I'm clumsy, I get them far more as a kind of "what if" insurance. Because there will eventually be a day where something happens and if I didn't have protection for my phone I will have wanted it. Being durable and stylish, OtterBox cases have always been the "gold standard" for mobile device protection in my mind, and that trend predictably continued when I got my iPhone 15 and then the 16. Something that surprised me about the OtterBox Defender cases I bought starting with the iPhone 15 was the lack of an integrated screen protector. All of my previous Defender cases had a built-in plastic sheet that protected the screen, but this was removed on the newer versions. People may get upset about this but honestly I see this omission as a GOOD thing. I can't tell you how many times I've had to periodically disassemble the Defender case on my older iPhones because some sort of debris made its way inside and managed to wedge itself between the screen protector and the actual display glass. It genuinely would not surprise me at all if that was the reason OtterBox decided to do away with integrated screen protectors entirely. This way I can slap a full-contact tempered glass screen protector on the phone before putting it in the OtterBox, and never have to worry about it again. The one minor gripe I have with the OtterBox Defender for the iPhone 16 is the cutout for the side camera button. I get that it's a capacitive touch-sensitive button, but I feel like there must be a solution which provides for full button functionality other than "I guess just cut a slice out of the case to expose the actual button." I'm no hardware engineer and maybe there truly is no good workable way to do it, but this solution feels... rushed? lazy? I don't know. Like I said it's a minor gripe, but it's odd to have my phone in an OtterBox where an actual device hardware button is exposed. Still very happy with this purchase, just like pretty much every previous OtterBox purchase I've made. I just hope they've fixed the issue where the outer jacket likes to warp and dislodge itself from the inner shell in some places. I didn't use my iPhone 15 long enough to know if it was an issue there, because that iPhone became a backup phone which was put into storage when I got the 16. Time will tell. OtterBox cases are still the best protection option out there, and you can't go wrong. They've got you covered. (HAW!)

Die Hülle ist wohl super perfekt ist nicht für mich aber so hatte sie mir gesagt

This is a great case. Sturdy, solid. It's difficult to get the phone out of the case because there a 3 layers to it and a 6 or 7? lock system on one of the layers but this is most likely part of the reason for it's sturdiness. It's slimmer than the case for the iphone 14 which is really nice. Contours are nice and it fits in my hand comfortably. A bit of a pain to open the cover for the charging portal but it make the case pretty indestructable and not much can penetrate it. I bought a new case, different brand and dropped it in the snow. Water got in and my first thought was, my Otterbox case would not have this problem. The only reason I changed from this is b/c I put my cards in a silicon case on the back of the phone and use it as my wallet. The case will not stick to the Otterbox. Would be great if Otterbox created a card holder version that is incorporated into its cover and I'd switch back immediately. Great case if you don't use it as a wallet.
