It is a little bulky but does protect from accidental drops.

I needed something to protect my phone when it gets dropped or knocked up stuff, and this is perfect!

Withstands many hard drops with no damage to the phone

If you take it off it becomes an expensive drop protector.

The cases have saved my butt many times and have held up to disastrous drops and what not

Otterbox cases have saved my iphones from breaking from accidental drops.

But if what you need is protection from accidental drops, you can't go wrong with the OtterBox Defender case

Many dings and drops, and not so much as a scratch

I try to be careful with my phone, but the occasional drop seems inevitable

I have dropped, scruffed, and flinged this thing and the phone and the case are fine.-

Sure it adds some bulk, but I have no issue hearing people, or people hearing me, the touch screen is highly responsive, and I definitely have great drop protection as I did drop it on tile floor, where it landed face first.

Saved my phone from numerous hard drops (by grandkids)

Love it was cheaper then buying in store & although its bigger then some cases it protects really well dropped my new phn several times still in perfect condition

Especially after a drop on the kitchen floor destroyed his previous iPhone

So far so good!Update 9/9/2017Phone dropped onto my foot then floor and screen is now cracked

Its bulky enough to take drops like a champ but slim enough to comfortably fit in your pocket, especially when moving around
