Reviews around money (5.00 of 5)

  • Don't waste you money, spend the extra cash and get a life case.
  • This case has saved me so much money and protected my phone from an SUV driving over it
  • Just know that also, otter box usually replaces phones if they break while in an otter box case, so the extra money may be worth it.
  • Well worth the money if like me you drop your phone a lot.
  • I'd rather spend more money on a case that is thinner but also protects against water as well as shock.
