Questions & Answers
To begin, remove the rubber-like covering by pulling it back on all sides. After removing the cover, you'll be able to see the hard case itself. Simply use your fingers to pull on the latches on the case's latches, which resemble a latch. Once the case is open, insert the phone, and when the case is secured again, you will hear a clicking noise. All that is left to do now is place the case inside the rubber covering.
The belt clip is permanently attached to the holder.
They can leak, though a quick dunk in the toilet won't let much in. However, the 7/8 and 2nd generation SE phones are water resistant.
I'm not sure because I didn't use a tempered glass cover, but I believe the case and the protector could be used together. If you put your iPhone in this case without a cover or a protector, it will not be a problem.

Touch ID doesn't work well through the cover, and the back of the phone started peeling almost immediately after the return period ended. The photo depicts how bad the back has become in less than two months. The images speak for themselves - It's a disaster. I had the exact same case for an iPhone 6 for years and it worked perfectly. This batch has a major flaw.
As a result, OtterBoxes have always been a part of my life. Since I bought my first OtterBox for an iPhone 4s, I've always had OtterBoxes. They've been consistently excellent products over the years. I've only ever cracked my phones when I removed them from their cases for the day. I suppose it's Murphy's law. It's no different with this iPhone 7 case. Every day, I wear this phone on my belt because I work in line construction. After months of abuse, there isn't a single scratch on it. Because of the nature of my job, I am very rough on my phone. This case is perfect for protecting your investment if you go to trade in your phone. I've dropped it from a bucket truck at 10 feet, dropped it in mud, had pvc glue spilled on it, and so on. Your carrier will pay you more if there are no scratches or cracks on your item. br>I once tried a Life Proof case on an iPhone 5 and found it to be poorly constructed and far too expensive; the dust and water resistance were the main benefits of Life Proof cases for me. However, in my opinion, the Life Proof has completely lost its clout on the field since the implementation of IP67. br>It's worth noting that this case was designed for a hard life; if your phone isn't going to be thrashed all day, every day, I'd say it's overkill. It's thick and bulky, and it won't fit in any of my pants' pockets - I have to rely solely on the belt clip. In addition, the built-in screen protector has its own mind. According to some reviews, the screen protector is extremely responsive - lies. Touch ID is rendered essentially useless as a result of this. I've discovered that removing the plastic screen protector completely and replacing it with a glass protector on the phone itself is the best combination. It's more secure this way, and you regain Touch ID and responsiveness. br>My final complaint is that there appears to be a'second skin' on the back that has begun to peel away. It's nothing that could jeopardize the case's integrity - It's simply unattractive. Please, otterbox, try to fix it! br>br>This is a fantastic case in general. It's a little heavy (which I like), but it provides unrivaled protection and has a cool appearance. The only reason for four stars is because of the above-mentioned issues, specifically the peeling of the outer onion layer. I'll keep buying OtterBox unless something drastic happens!.
Tight fit It's difficult to use the touch screen because you have to press down hard, and the letters on the edge are difficult to press down. I removed the plastic cover from the otter box and replaced it with a glass cover screen.
My Otterbox case was a letdown for me. The first flaw was the screen protector that came with the package. It had enough space between the phone and the screen protector that hitting the screen made a snapping noise, and you had to press down very hard to get it to work. I eventually peeled off the case's screen protector and bought a new one. Then, a few days later, as I was sliding out of the car, the belt clip caught on a car seat and ripped right off. The second star is only given because, while the case's basic function appears to be satisfactory, the quality is significantly lower than what I have come to expect from Otterbox.
So, here are some of my initial thoughts on the situation. 1. br>br> This case is AMAZING at protecting my phone. I've dropped it several times and it has never been damaged. 2. br>br>1. br>br>br>br>br>br When I bought the case, the description stated that it was dust-free. I clean and disassemble my phone about once a month. 3. br>br>4. br>br>5. br>br>6. On this case, the finger print sensor is a pain. OtterBox has covered the finger print sensor with a plastic cover for reasons I don't understand. There is no covering over the camera or the ear piece (which is most likely how the dust gets in), because doing so would impair their performance. It's more difficult for the finger print sensor to get a good read when it's covered. I have to type in my passcode on a regular basis. br>br>Overall, I believe this case accomplishes its goal. It prevents me from having to purchase a new phone because my butter fingers constantly drop it. However, I'd like to make a request to OtterBox. I'd like to see a wallet case from you guys that offers the same level of protection as your other cases. That would be fantastic.
I've had at least a dozen Otterbox Defender cases to protect various iPhones and iPads over the years. I recently bought an iPhone 8 and slid it into this case right away, thinking it would be the same "set it and forget it" simplicity as my other Defender cases. Unfortunately, as others have pointed out, there is a gap between the screen protector and the phone's screen, which causes my typing and swipes to be ignored. This "trampoline effect" of the screen protector was something I noticed right away, and it's never been an issue with any other Defender case I've owned. br>br>However, the part that irritates me the most is that when I contacted Otterbox about the defect, they confirmed that they are using a new "iPhone 8 only" version for warranty replacements that is not yet available on their website or anywhere else. They stated that as a warranty replacement, they would gladly send me a new case. for $5. What? Why would I pay an additional $6 to replace a faulty product, especially one that is clearly mislabeled as compatible with the iPhone 8 when they have designed a separate case that they only use as warranty replacements when people complain? This smells like a money-laundering scheme. To me, this appears to be a method of grabbing. They should either send me the correct one for free or sell the "iPhone 8 only" model so I can return this one and upgrade.
