OtterBox DEFENDER SERIES Case for Samsung Galaxy S9 - Retail Packaging - BIG SUR (PALE BEIGE/CORSAIR)

The pros are A special thanks goes out to the case's texture - I really like it. You can bump the surface without it falling off. It is grippy enough to grip both your hands and surfaces. I don't think it has any effect on the look or feel of the phone. Alternatively, you can place the phone face down so it will look like this On both the top and the bottom of the case is a slight lip that lets your screen rest on the surface it's on rather than touching it directly. I certainly agree that this was well thought out. Design from the ground up. Those cons are Then I will continue to It has been 5 months since I first used it and the edges that contact surfaces the most are starting to scratch/wear. Here's a photo (See picture). There are two kinds of cases I have the purple one and the gray one. There is a very dull gray showing through the wear on the edges. Overall, this isn't terribly noticeable and I don't think it takes away from the beauty of the model. If I had my choice between the two cases, I would rather the case take the abuse My heart aches! )
I'm currently using an IQ shield wet screen protector.
It doesn't come with a screen protector. The case is somewhat difficult to take off once it has been snapped on, but I don't think it diminishes the quality of the case. I've put on a soft screen protector and have having no issues. You can rest assured it will remain in place even if you drop it!.

Since I have a wife and three teenage daughters, I have learned how important it is to protect these cellphones. I have found that the only case that prevents my kids from damaging their phones is the Defender. - Two of them have been run over and dropped. - Another has been hit by a car. A knocked over otter survived and the other one died. There have been 3 drops in the defender, but only 2 have been severe. If only they could keep their phones from getting lost. The case at hand is a swearing one.

Though I have only had my phone for a day, I have been happy with it so far. Initially, I was a little nervous to order it because my boyfriend already had an otterbox for his LG20 and I am not a big fan of some elements As far as I can tell, it doesn't add too much weight to the phone and it I love the buttons because they don't feel stiff at all. It's only a little hard to pull out the tab for the charger and headphone jack, but it will get easier with use. There was also a concern that the sides would be too low and not protect me. Due to the raised bottom and top of the case, when the screen is face down, it does not actually touch a surface. Even when I turned the phone to the side (assuming the table is flat), the phone didn't make contact with it. I was able to trust that the case would protect my information adequately as a result of this. The laptop doesn't come with a screen, so I did get a screen protector as well. I had expected the case to be a similar color to what I thought it would be. This is all I have so far to say.

The Defender keeps my old Galaxy S5 in pristine condition after years of use, thanks to my love for it. The S9 Defender, however, does not consist of a built in screen protector perhaps due to its curved edges. The Defender is very tight fitting despite my buying screen protectors created by LK brand that said they were compatible, but time and time again huge bubbles form at the bottom edge of the screen immediately after applying the protector. I suspect that this is caused by the Defender's tight fitting. I highly recommend Otter products, but when choosing a screen protector, make sure to do extensive research, at least in the case of this particular model.

The following are photos of my daughter and I The Otterbox Defender model of screen protectors I bought about 2 months ago for our new Samsung Galaxy 9s were defective almost immediately after purchase. The screen protectors are no longer built in as they were in our previous models. These are of very poor quality and we are very disappointed. This was a huge mistake made by the person or people who developed them. Otterbox has lost the ability to satisfy us with its quality.

The reason why I did what I did. I found this case to be so adorable. The flash is the reason I gave 4 stars. As the flash of the camera is on, it reflects the coral into the picture.

If you have a screen protector (if you have one), please be aware that the case is likely to damage it. Please read the instructions carefully before placing the card on the phone. Rather than carrying the regular everyday case with me, I use this when I am going hiking or biking. My machine shop job sometimes requires me to work late at night. Even though it takes a lot of steps to put it on and take it off, I still like it. This is an extremely rugged area. It's a nice color, too. The purple Galaxy S9 goes well with the shirt.

I could not put my phone into this case without the case falling out of my hand. As I walked down a flight of stairs, my screen cracked while it popped out of the case. This case offers some protection on the top and bottom of the phone, but no protection in the middle because the glass protrudes higher than the case, meaning the glass is unprotected. For the first time I used Otterbox and may end up being the last time I do so. I expected more from a top of the line company.
