OtterBox Defender Series Case for iPhone 7 Plus - Review - Still the best tough case! By EXCESSORIZE ME.

I get it, you worry about, dropping your new iPhone, seven and cracking the screen, but are you worried enough to add three layers of protection and tripling the size of your iPhone? Well, let's check it out the mothership of all protective cases constructed with three layers of material. Well, touchingly. Four, if you count the holster, but the outer skin is a single piece. Rubber, slipcover, the inner shell is a hard polycarbonate two-piece shell and on the front, is a clear screen protector, complete with a flexible membrane that allows your fingerprint to pass through to open up unclip the shell, where the arrows are pointed on the backside, which reveals a soft memory foam for your iPhone to sit comfortably in to install wipe the front and back side of your iPhone to remove any dust and stains move on to the inside of the screen protector and give the back window a quick sweep as well now set your iPhone in and start snapping the opposite piece in place and squeezing all around the edges finally start stretching the rubber slipcover onto the case, ensuring it sits into the grooves nicely, and you're done. Give yourself a pat on the back, taking a look at the buttons they are covered and raised on the rubber, although it is a little hard to click, it makes it easy to locate as well as provide a satisfying click response. The boot rocker is completely covered, but it's a pretty large cutout once you lift the flap up around back, there's a cutout for the camera and flash leaving more than enough space to cover the height lens and just below that is the infamous Apple logo cutout that is covered with the screen protector.

So you can safely show it off cutouts for both the speaker and mic input, although pretty deep I didn't experience, any quality loss in both calls or using the speakers and finally, the same floppy situation on the Lightning port I just wish they made it open the other way. As now, it hinges on a thin line of rubber and prone to tearing easier over time. Plugging in a lightning cable can also get pretty fussy, as you need one hand to hold the cover out of the way and the other to stick it in this deep hole and sort of guess where the connector is around front. There's a large exposed, cutout up top, which allows your call speaker, front camera and light sensor to be free and uninterrupted. The flexible membrane on the bottom still reads my finger every time, but is great to prevent, scratches and dirt.

Then there's a polycarbonate shell that wraps right up to the edges of the screen, which I found to be an issue, in other cases, for pulling up the control center or Notification Center, but didn't find the same issues in this case. That's all fine and dandy, but comes at a hefty they're, just about tripling the size of your sleek iPhone for comparison, it's almost as thick as a deck of cards. Maybe that's why the Apple cutout is there to remind you it's still an iPhone, so we've concluded that the case is thick as far, but the rubber slipcover offers a drippy matte texture that helps you feel confident using it one-handed still, along with just a general square design, moving away from the curved edges from previous models and I use the Apple logo cutout as a pivot point for my finger, which you'll need due to the extra size to reach those darn corners, and although the rubber is great when in use it's not so great when you want to put it away, making storing it in your tight-ass jeans a no-go all while the deep cutouts also make it impossible to dock it anywhere. But Letterbox knows you know that and throws in this handy-dandy belt clip they'll solve both our initial problems, simply clip it onto your belt, and you never have to sacrifice your pocket space again once you're done impressing. All the ladies.

The belt clip doubles as a stand as well by clipping the top in which is great for viewing content, but also doubles as its own dock. Making. You regret spending $50 on this now, of course. Well, it's called a belt clip. You can be rebellious and attach it to any straps, which I usually do my backpack straps.

This makes it especially easy to access what I'm riding my bike, but it does hold the iPhone in place too chilly and no matter how you twist turn in banging around it doesn't let it go when you're done for the day, I flip the iPhone around and leave the clip on, because it gives me something to grasp onto when in use compared to stretch my fingers all the way around the case, which is even worse for seven-plus owners. However, it is a tough case, and you came to see how tough it is. Let's find out. Yeah, looks like you'll handle your child, throwing it around as well withstanding a construction site environment. Now it's nice that a screen protector comes built-in, but unfortunately it floats above the screen, leaving a gap that sometimes causes your phone to miss.

A few taps. You'll have to get used to tapping just a little harder. Some users report completely removing the screen protector, and it's simply glued it on the other side and installing their own protector of choice. Instead, just be warned, we void your warranty on the case. It costs 50 or $60, depending on the 7 or the 7 plus models.

I've got the black you see here, which is my favorite color option, but you can buy it as well as check out the other colors and the links below, as well as to the right in my head. The case is designed for harsh environments such as construction sites going for a hike in the studio or, if you just have kids, basically anywhere. Your iPhone is in a constant state of danger, but if you don't fit into any of those categories and still want protection check out the commuter series which is a slimmed down version of the Defender Series and can actually fit inside your pocket, anyways, that's it like.
