*Otterbox Defender Series iPhone 5 Case

“A Superior Product”

I’m a 13 year old in middle school who owns the Otterbox Defender Series iPhone 5 case. I have owned this phone case for about a year now, and at first, I used this case everyday for 3 months in a row. Soon, I began to use other cases and I decided to gives those a try, but I ended up switching back to the Otterbox because I realized that it protected my phone the best. Knowing that I could have a phone that would be very well protected, made me jump with joy, when I first got this case. Also, I was jubilant that it looked so pretty and brand new. I paid about $50 for this case, which is expensive for a phone case, but my phone has no cracks or scratches and I have dropped my phone several times before. Therefore, I think this case is worth the price you have to pay.

I expected this case to protect my phone from everyday wear and tear, and to present a bright, pretty case, and I’m very happy to say that this case has done everything I expected it to! This product has a total of three pieces that fit together. First, it has the two snap on pieces, the front and the back. The front part has a very nice, built in screen protector for extra protection and the back has a small circle in the middle allowing you to see the apple logo. The next piece of this case is the fitted rubber piece. After you snap on the two pieces, you wrap the rubber piece around the phone and ta da!, you have a very well protected phone case.

I absolutely love this case because it is high quality and durable. It protects your phone from scratches and cracks, even if you drop it! It comes in many, vibrant, amusing colors which appeals to many people. Also, even though it has a built in screen protector, you can still access the finger scan feature the iPhone has which can be very convenient.

However, the only downside to this case is that it can be difficult to fit in your pocket or other tight spaces because it is a little bulky. Some people may find this bulkiness annoying and they might not want this extra “stuff” or “weight” on their phone. So, if you are one of those people who would prefer a case without the extra bulk, I would also recommend the Speck CandyShell case. This case is similar to the Otterbox in that it is a known brand for protective cases, but unlike the Otterbox, it does not have a built in screen protector or the three pieces that make it more protective. I personally think the Otterbox comes in more colors and does a better job of protecting your phone.

I would give this case a rating of 4 out of 5 stars. This product is truly exceptional except for the little bit of bulkiness that it has on it. However, if you don't mind a little “extra” on your phone case, the Otterbox Defender Series iPhone case is definitely the way to go! Go out and buy one so that you can have a very well protected phone!
