I bought this to replace my Otter Box which had just worn out from use. I would say they are almost identical. You can tell the quality is a bit lower, but honestly the price difference is worth it. I would easily buy 3-4 of these compared to an Otter Box Defender. They look the same, both are made in China and fit the same. I didn't give it 4 stars because the foil on the home button wears out relatively quickly. I just uninstalled it and it works fine but part of the phone is left unprotected. I've had it for a while and still use it. If you want to save some money or just want to have phone cases in different colors for style/fashion, I recommend this product.
