OtterBox Defender Case for Apple iPhone 5 in Blush pink/black

I got one of these to protect my phone while on holiday at the beach as I know what I'm like after a drink or two - well that and the fact my seven month old loves to see how far anything she can get hold of bounces!This is a really substantial case and is really easy to fit - literally pop the rubber cover off, unlock the clasps holding the plastic shell in place and then just drop in your phone and put everything back together.I don't know what the screen protector is made of but you wouldn't even know it's there which is the best thing you can say - just make sure you've cleaned your phone first, otherwise you'll spot even the smallest hair or piece of dust in there.I've had things like the Incipio Feathers in the past and the Apple bumpers but this is in a whole other league - definitely worth it for people with manual work where there's more chance you'll drop it!The only negative thing I will say is that this case makes it harder to activate the screen swipe up from the bottom that is in iOS 7. It's easy with nothing on the phone but you just need to do it slowly with the tip of your thumb with this case in place.To be fair that's a minor thing and people with small hands probably won't have this problem anyway (with small hands they've probably got more to worry about anyway!)

Bought for child to borrow for Pokemon Go. Very pleased I have done so. Not watertight. I have tempered glass on iPhone as well as the clear cover integrated into this case and works extremely well, maybe using the additional tempered glass solves the problems that others have reported of too much click from not exact tight fit. You get little bit of click but I've stopped noticing after day of use. As you can see from photo it's very bright orange but high vis good for me. Also from photo note that home button entirely covered so if you've got iPhone 5s or SE it will fit but Touch ID will be disabled. Friend has type same case later model with built in cut out for home button for her SE but thinks this model best protection if home button Touch ID not important. Noticed similar otterbox on their website for six times the price of Amazon, maybe this is under ten pounds because it's older model designed for iPhone 5. Used attested to scooter with mount. Only time will tell how protective this will be but previous otterbox on dell streak was invaluable.

The otter box defender first and for most is with out a doubt the best case out there for drop protection. If you are rock climbing or on a construction site buy the case and don't read on, but if you do constantly fret over your devices well being and want to make sure it is crisp and clean when you take it out before the selling of the phone then you should buy this, but the two downsides to protection are the front facing camera slot is large which is needed for the sensors but warning screen protector will help prevent scratches. Secondly a back screen protector will help because the camera slot is oversized, there is no need for it to be that big and you will also pick up scratches. If you love the iPhone sleekness at design please don't fritter your money the case is bulky and for me after a month I am looking for a case that is less covered up.Think before you buy are you a clumsy person, do you work on a construction site or heavy endurence jobs were your phone is compromised, if so go ahead this is an epic case. If you are for the protection of you device and like the design of the iPhone get a slimmer case and glass screen protector, apparently great combo and i am moving that way.

My phone certainly feels protected in this. it is built to a very high standard.the phone fits into a hard shell with a rubber surround, it fits well and i am very pleased with it. if i have one criticism it is that once in the case it is hard to pull the upper and lower screens down on the iPhone 5 with a sweep of your fingers, the lower screen activates the torch , wifi etc.the upper the calender. If the case surround was 2 or 3mm taller for the sceen opening you wouldn't have to dig your finger into the edge of the case a couple of times before you can bring the screen up. if you have bigger fingers you will really struggle. but still a great case

This does add slight bulk yo your phone but the finish actually seems to make it easier to grip. Fairly easy to get on and off and great for fingerprint ID as home button cover pulls down. The one thing that could be improved is the screen cover sticking to I phone screen and causing rainbow/ oil effect. There are videos on you tube as how to put talc on screen but surely shouldn't need to, even with anti static spray and screen protector I still got this to some extent and only way to remove is refit cover. Would be 5 stars if they could sort this out!

Great case but what a pickle to get on. I got the real tree advantage otter box case for my I phone 5s and the front is nice and bright with the American hunting style orange and on the back is the real tree camo. Case itself is well built with a hardened rubber surrounding the inner case well protecting the phone. Being a fisherman and hunter I thought it would make a nice addition to my advantage clothing. Only draw back is the finger scan is disabled but I do believe otter box already have another case which enables this. All in all nice vibrant front with a nice deep insert for protection of the screen. I would buy another one as it is well worth the money.

This is better than my previous Otterbox which eventually broke across the bottom of the case due to the opening being too wide. At first when I got this Defender Case I was delighted as it wasn't as open across the bottom. The colour is lovely and the protection the case gives to the phone is great. But now that I've had the case for a few weeks I am a little concerned that it will break across the bottom in due course as it is already loosening up.
