The best case ever!
October 12, 2019

I tried other cases early on but none have stood up to what otterbox has. I have driven over my galaxy s6 with a tow truck and had no damage. I recently had my galaxy s9+ get stuck in a machine at work. My s9+ sat on 2 sections of a belt for 20 minutes and sliced into the case but no damage to the phone at all. Thank you otterbox.

I bought 2 cases around 3 months ago and both broke. I sent all the pictures to their email as they asked and after it was all done I threw the broken cases away. After a week I was told by them that they won't send me new cases because they didn't like the pictures that I took even though they were exactly like they asked. I will never be buying anything from them. This company sucks and they are not honest at all!

It is a shame given how much I paid for my Otterbox phone protector that it is completely falling apart. Does not hold up to wear and tear.

Bought a screen protector for my iPhone at the Apple Store. I've used Bodyguardz in the past. Apple employee said Otterbox was better. The quality is about the same for both cases. When you go to file a replacement claim, Bodyguardz is easy (online) and takes about 60 seconds. I waited over 30 mins on on the phone on hold with Otterbox on two different occasions to get a replacement. Their replacement service is horrible. Nice people, but horrible service. Have them a pass the first time, but this photo is from today. Go with Bodyguardz!

I really love Otterbox. They make the best cases I have ever used, and their site is easy to navigate. Each product arrives exactly on time and is in great shape! If you are looking for a protective case, Otterbox is the way to go!

Return
February 26, 2023

Awful company. Will never deal with them again costumer service is so poor. No one willing to take an responsibility just generic emails from a different person each time. Have asked to escalate my issue so many times yet nothing. Been giving the wrong addresses to return my item. They won't refund the monies they're saying it's their warehouse it went to in the Netherlands, yet it was returned to my home address and I was told it was the uk I needed to send it too. Which then cost me again! Never known a company like it. Where's your manager! What manager!

This is the only case you should buy to protect your phone! These cases are so well designed in ways that many don't realize. Their customer service is above and beyond! I placed an order which I goofed on. They fixed it right up, they were so friendly and just a pleasure. I am so proud to have their product protecting my iPhone. I recommend them so highly!

What happened!
September 14, 2023

I have been a customer of otterbox for around 15 years. They used to stand behind their product. No hassle easy replacement for the cases. Now they try to wait you out with long wait times on the phone. I make 150 an hour. I will not recommend this company again. Yall suck. Have a nice day..

Years ago (iphone 6 era or even earlier) I bought a light gray otter box that protected my phone for yrs. After multi falls. There was a definite rubber overlay on the front edge of my phone that I am sure protected the face/screen) It was awesome.
Finally had to buy a new phone (iphone 12) and the only otter box avail seemed to be nothing that would provide same front surface protection. The "Defender" is a joke. Just one drop and screen is cracked.

Soooo disappointed in the present otter box products.

DO NOT PURCHASE
September 5, 2023

I made a formal complaint to otterbox about their case not properly defending my phone from a drop. The first time it's been dropped and my back of my phone is broke. When I made a complaint on fb they blocked me from responding to their message!

Terrible case!
March 30, 2022

I bought a new iPhone 12 max pro. I made the mistake of putting it in a Otterbox case. The other Otter box cases I have had were good. This one is horrible. There is no screen protector and it falls out of the holder constantly. It caused my new iPhone to get a scratch on the screen. I do not like Otterbox. I do not recommend at all.

Run away. Run away
July 6, 2023

I had OtterBox since they came out. When they first came out the warranty said if your phone was damaged in an OtterBox they would replace your phone. Then through the years the warranty has changed and the only thing they will do is replace the case. The price has gone up the quality has fell in the toilet through the sewer pipe and it's now gone through the septic tank. Every time I've ever ordered a new phone and a new case I have ordered the case and then the phone the next day. And usually I get them both delivered the same day. But lately, OtterBox is failing to send out their overpriced Junkie case. Now they won't even respond to emails or phone calls. You can find much better quality cases on the website that starts with an A or the store that starts with a w. I don't recommend OtterBox anymore and I will be looking for a different case for my new phone that is getting delivered today.

I purchased an Otter Box Defender top-of-the-line for my new iphone. After several months my phone was not responding to touch. Went to an apple store and the technician tested the phone. He said that the problem was the cover and advised me to throw it away. Once I did that, and used the phone with no cover, it worked fine. I also called the company twice with long wait times -- no one ever picked up the phone, no call back option, could not leave a message, and no message stating how long the hold was. Company says it has a seven year warranty but that's a joke. The company needs to investigated for false advertising.

My second time getting a Case from these nice folks. Very User Friendly. I had just picked out a new phone that was about to hit the Market and OtterBox was in the middle of haveing the New case ready. Rather than going to bestbuy and waiting two or three weeks i was able to go right to the Source. I love my OtterBox Case. It came nicely packaged up and on time as well. Thank you OtterBox folks.

Junk!
June 26, 2023

Otterbox is at least 100% higher in price than cases at Walmart. Worse, if you make the mistake of ordering from the Otterbox website - watch out! When the case breaks, and it will, you must spend half a day going through 20 steps to send the case back to Otterbox just to get a replacement. No, you cannot just take a photo of their junk, you must ship it back to them. I "shipped" my broken Otterbox to the trash can and advise you to do the same. (J. Eric Fisk)

Don't Buy From Them!
October 23, 2015

I ordered a case from them online and it said there was an error and try again. I submitted the order again and end result was they took money out of my account 3 times. I got one charge reversed, but they sent me two cases. The cases were the wrong ones for my phone, so I sent them back just like they told me to do, and now they won't return my money. I have turned them into PayPal and I am hoping I can get my $106.00 back.

Hope is not feasible
November 15, 2021

I made an order in the online store and as it turned out the product is not available, although 5 days have passed since the order, and all these days the product was on display with the status "In stock". The desire to place orders in the future disappeared forever.
