This is the conversation with Otterbox...they decide if your phone is to old and discontinue the support for your purchase, they try to buy you off with a 20% discount, oh...after you go and buy a new phone! What a crock of BS!

I don't see my Samson model on your replacement list?

I'm really sorry that we don't have a case for the Samsung S10+. However, as an alternative solution, I can offer you a 20% discount coupon that you can use for any OtterBox products. So once you have a new phone device, you can use it to purchase a new phone case for it. We hope this helps! To use for a future purchase. This coupon or discount is for 20% off and will not expire. You can use it with any agent, just give them your name and the coupon is available for you to use

This is supposed to be a warranty item, full replacement is what I was told!

Operator message sent at 03:38 PM:
I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Our warranty policy covers defects in materials and workmanship, but it does not cover discontinued products.

How convenient...guess I won't buy Otterbox anymore...this is BS!

Operator message sent at 03:40 PM:
I apologize if you feel that way. We strive to provide the best customer service and support possible. We are truly sorry that all cases for your device have been discontinued and we no longer have any replacements available. While we do try to keep products in stock for as long as possible, the rapid pace of technology makes it necessary to eventually say goodbye to some of our favorite cases.

On Friday the 27th of May 2022, I usually get a ride from my boss back home, but this day I got a ride from my co worker Chris. I don't like carrying my phone at work because well let's just say I've been rough on my phones in the past. I usually set it on the front seat of my bosses truck so it doesn't get tossed around and I remember it! I set it on the hood of Chros's truck with my lunch. Lunch came and left then I put my lunch in the back bed of his truck. And I remember asking Chris don't let me forget my phone, I don't want to have to get a new one! End of the day and once again I asked Chris not to let me forget my phone? Put my tools in the back lunch was there and some scrape peices that I planed to turn on my lythe. Jump in the truck and we drove about 3½ to 4 miles turned onto another hwy driving up the road and all of a sudden something hit his passenger side mirror! He asked what was that I replied, simply I don't know? Then he said " Your Phone "! Turned around and I almost lost it! I haven't even had this phone for a month! It's the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, it takes great pictures of anything, when the moon! So as I was saying we turned around and I saw the hard plastic case on the side of the road but not the phone? So we stopped I ran over and grabbed the cover, not a crack, not a scratch on it! But no phone around? So started walking in the direction it fell and there it was, fase now in a mixture of dead grass and dirt. After a quick sigh I picked it up expecting the worse! Then after I saw it nothing but amazement! The only thing that happened was a couple scuff marks on top and it cracked the screen protector! After I took the phone apart out of the Otterbox case the only other thing was some slight scratches on the sides of the phone! But I never even will take it out unless cleaning my phone or putting a new screen saver on or a different case!
