OtterBox APPLE DEFENDER IPHONE XS MAX BIG SUR - 6.5 inches

The background - i hate big bulky cases, but sometimes they are the best option - so if you have to buy one, what should you buy. First i read at least 10 comparison reviews before choosing the first case... and the first case i bought was a Lifeproof model... and it fits really well, relatively small... almost perfect, but it had a problem. In hands free mode absolutely no one could hear me. It worked great in non hands free mode, but unfortunately i often use the iphone in hands free mode. So, despite the bulk i got the Otterbox and despite the size (almost twice as deep) and despite the compomises (no inbuilt screen protector and the mic and speaker vents at the bottem are open).... it basically works. Ive dropped the phone on several occasions, no damage and despite the lack of screen protection, the ridge around the screen has so for protected it and yes i have dropped it face down.Finally, i also have the Apple leather case, that too is great and i still use it along with the Otterbox, but most of the time its in the Otterbox. The Otterbox case, the Lifeproof case and the Apple leather case are really well made, but for protection without any audio compromise its the Otterbox that gets my vote.Please note the Otterbox isnt a fully waterproof case, the Lifeproof is, however the Iphone does have a good level of waterproofness built in, so for most people, in most situations the Otterbox would be the way to go... unless your a lifegard / fisherman / or diver.

I’m sure it’s great if you intend jumping in the pool or using your punks in the bath. It’s hard to fit and really big and clunky. Left in a drawer

This is my second otterbox case, my previous one looking worse for wear but still protecting my old phone after 3.5 years.I just dropped my new phone down wooden stairs with tile at the bottom. I had the holster on so two tiny masks on the corners but the marks wiped off the rubber case. So sturdy and protective. My previous case had a screen protector built in which over time didn’t look good or work so well. This case has no screen protector so worth getting a glass protector to go with it.

My old otter box had fallen to pieces after 2 and a half year so happy to get a replacement.These cases are the first purchase you should make after getting a new phone

Really nice cover that actually protects the phone and it’s nice looking as well. The screen is well protected around the corners.

This is one of many Otterbox cases that I have used over many years, and it is without doubt one of the best. The case is comprised of three components; an inner poly-carbonate frame, an outer rubberized shell and a clip-on holster with swivel belt clip. Build and material quality is excellent and the product represents excellent value for money. I would highly recommend this product.

The case can not be fitted on full coverage screen protector, there is no built in screen so ideally a full screen protector is need , pressure on the screen produce bubble when enclosure of case is secure. if they can design a defender with 9h tempered full coverage screen I will pay good money for it, otherwise the case is well built. if you normal screen protector it will have potential dirty on screen and not fully protect screen

Was quite worried when i bought this that it was a fake because of its price but have been reassured that it is genuine by the seller
