Review on OtterBox DEFENDER iPhone 6/6s πŸ“± Case in BLACK - Buy Now! by Christine Langlois

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The best case for protection stays where I put it, but there was a small problem.

This will be my 4th or 5th Otterbox iPad and iPhone case and while every member of my family (who uses other cases) has cracked (or smashed) a phone at some point, I still have never! These cases are sometimes criticized for being clunky, but they're certainly functional, and if keeping devices worth $600+ from breaking isn't a top priority, I don't know what is. Also, I LOVE the fact that this rubberized case is "sticky". I can put it on my car seat or even on my dashboard and it stays where I put it. I recently tried one of those dash phone holders that attach to the air vents and broke the fin (which isn't cheap to fix on a BMW) so I decided to stop using them and recently got an Apple Bought case which was (leather and) nice but WILL NOT stay where I put it (was slippery)! I now have an extra $60 Apple case that I don't use. Those Otterbox cases that are 'sticky' once again stay in place. Therefore, even after several years of using several of these cases, I will not use anything else. These are excellent, really functional covers. Update: There is a small issue with THIS Otterbox case that doesn't seem to have a fix. I noticed that there was a small amount of water between the case screen and the phone screen. I've seen this before when a little rain splashed on the case and some of it fell through the hole in the camera lens. This causes dark spots on the screen. So I took the case off and although I didn't see any moisture, I gently and thoroughly wiped both surfaces with a cotton cloth and put the case back on the phone, but the dark stains were still there! So I did the same thing AGAIN, this time with the detergent on the fabric in case the interfering agent was some kind of oil, and put it back together, and you know what? WITHOUT CHANGE! So, in case I left a bit of dish soap on any of the parts, I did it again, this time with clean water, dried it thoroughly and put everything back together. I STILL HAVE THESE DARK SPOTS ON THE SCREEN that look like there's water between the case's protective film and the phone! The reason must be the physical interaction between the very smooth surface of the phone and the equally perfectly smooth inner surface of the case foil. It's not a very serious problem, but it's definitely annoying! My perfectly working case now seems to have water inside the case. I'm not entirely satisfied, but other than that I like this case, so I'm reducing my rating to just one star, down to 4 stars.
