      everything you want to protect your new iPhone but read all the way through

      like i said it fits snug even with screen protectors on the back. The padding on the Otterbox is real official good quality and good for the phone. the clips are hard to get undone because they are different from the 4s case clips, these clips are all around the whole case clipping the two pieces together with was a little but if a struggle to get apart. the apple logo and the screen are both protected to a tee with the nice thick high quality cellophane covering them (however the screen protector messes with the touch and i will be taking it off very soon and applying a normal self adhering screen protector to the actual phone.

      Now on to the silicone which fits perfectly around the plastic shell and i like this reversed feature about the defender than the commuter because it is more protective. anyway this is by far one of the most protective, durable and sturdy pieces of silicone i have ever had wrapped around my many mobile devices. previously i have bought a backup case until this came and it was an Otterbox Commuter series -- it was fake. the silicone was cheap and bulged around the lightning port, but this case has ports that lay flush with the phone. also the buttons are much more tactile than that fake Otterbox. all in all i am very impressed with the build quality of the silicone.

      When it comes to the belt clip, i like the 4s better. this one does not cover the screen in ull and i feel like t he 4s looks better. this one like good but just not as good as the 4s.

      Bottom line -- you know how on the actual page this is sold on amazon, it says that the seller is "Ottebox" well I've concluded that you don't have to worry about the case being fake -- you have to worry about this ---- since these cases are priced down so low from 60 dollars they are just what Otterbox claims are "rejects". I've inspected the case very closely and found that the top is not cut with as much precision because there are tiny barley noticeable little flaps of uncut silicone hanging down. and on the belt clip there was sticky "stuff" that i was able to get off easily. thats just what i have notice but that doesn't make that case fake nor as protective because it still is the same quality.

      Pros
      - sturdy
      - looks nice
      - stays flush with the phone
      - 4 layers
      - all cutouts are there
      - protective

      Cons
      - reject but still a really good case (kind of the same)

      buy this case you wont regret it

      I did the long amazon search for case for a new iPhone 5s that I wanted to protect. I bought an Otterbox in the past for a Galaxy. Otterbox didn't make a Defender case for the Galaxy so I had the Commuter case for it and I didn't care for it much.

      The pros:
      It's a tight fitting inner hard case that will really protect the phone from an inmpact, with a softer, but still durable outer surface.
      The volume & power buttons line up perfectly and work just like they do as if you are clicking them on the phone.
      There's no interference from the case and the camera lens, speakers or microphone.
      It's stylish (I got the white/gray - Glacier color, to match the white phone).
      It comes with a hard clip holster with a kickstand (I won't use this as I don't use a clip with my phones, but many do).

      The cons:
      It's a little bit bulky (but, in all fairness, I believe you can't protect a phone without this).
      The Rubber flap openings for plug in for charging/headphones and ringer switch are difficult to pry open. I'm afraid, like with my old Otter box that with repeated prying they will become damaged and tear, we'll see!
      The screen protector on the case is different than the screen protector for the case for the regular iPhone 5 case because of the fingerprint ID feature. There's a circular cut-out on the screen protector over the home button so the home button can read your finger print. Because the screen protector lifts off the screen a bit, I'm afraid dust and debris may easily get behind the screen protector. I'll have to keep an eye on this to see how it goes.

      Other than that - I think this was the best choice for the phone and the price.

      Got this for my iPhone5S for when I go hiking/camping. I usually keep a very slim plastic case on my phone 99% of the time so that I can keep the phone in my front pocket, but I wanted more protection when going outdoors.

      The OtterBox Defender case seems well made/designed and covers about 95% of the phone. This won't make you phone waterproof if you drop it in a stream or anything like that, but should keep most of the water off it when used outside and it's raining. I haven't tried dropping it, but it appears like it will protect the phone well should I make that mistake.

      The belt clip is well thought out- it holds the phone securely, while making it easy to insert/remove from the holder for when you want to use it. Great for when it's cold outside and you're wearing gloves and it's hard to pull out of your pocket. I love the fact that the belt clip rotates so you mount it on a variety of straps/locations and wear it comfortably.

      The only real complaint I have is that the case + holder is bulky. Yes, this goes without saying I suppose, but I would love a thinner design- especially for the holder. Sadly, I don't see how that would really be possible without making some sacrifice in terms of strength- unless they used metal which would really increase costs. That bulkiness pretty much means this won't be my day-to-day case and is limited for the great outdoors, but that's really only what I bought it for.

      Awesome case! We have owned several OtterBox cases. They always performed as promised. Perhaps better. We have never had a phone damaged when using these cases. So far the same is true of this one. Although not much time has passed since the phone and case were purchased, it has been dropped pretty harshly already. Phone remains completely undamaged and in 100% working order. I would highly recommned this case.

      I needed a case that would bulk up my iphone 5s. I upgraded to the 5s because it was more economical to do so when my 4 needed repairs. I was not excited about the super slim feature of the 5s. I read the negative reviews and realized the bulkiness of this case is just what I needed! It is sturdy; the openings have movable flaps for your headphones and charger; the flaps are sturdy and fit snugly back into place. I haven't dropped my phone (yet) but I feel pretty confident that my phone will be safe for the inevitable drop. The case is not slippery smooth but I carry it in my scrub pocket at work every day and it's not hard to take in and out. The built in screen protector doesn't hinder the touch screen at all. (I don't use the fingerprint feature so can't comment.) The sound quality is perfect; others mentioned that their headphones didn't work with this case. My $3 headphones from walmart have worked fine. I chose the green and black case and the color is true to the picture. I would definitely buy this again.
