OtterBox Defender Series iPhone Case Review
One of the first things new iPhone owners think about is “what case should I buy for my iPhone?”. Well, the first thing that came to my mind was a silicone case. However, silicone cases are bulky, dusty, and they hide the beauty of your iPhone (enter here for a FREE PDO Leather case). That’s why I’m currently using an InvisibleShield, along with many other iPhone in Canada readers!
What about MORE protection? Well, I’ve come across a couple cases from OtterBox that pretty much impressed me big time. The first one we are going to take a look at is the OtterBox Defender iPhone case. It’s water resistant, super slim, the touch screen works great, and all the buttons are accessible (except for the silent switch; more on that later). Let’s take a closer look at this case, shall we? 🙂
OtterBox Defender Series iPhone Case Review – What’s in the Box?
- OtterBox Defender Series iPhone case
- Holster with belt clip
- Instructions
The Defender case from OtterBox is part of their new line up for the iPhone. It will hold your 8GB or 16GB iPhone snug inside a hard plastic shell, then covered with a high quality silicone cover, giving it superior protection from the elements. Also there is a thin, plastic cover to protect your iPhone screen. The sensitivity still works perfectly (even through my InvisibleShield!). The case engulfs your phone and protects it from sand, dust, dirt, and rain (it’s not fully submersible in water though–that’s when the Armor series comes into play).
How Easy is the Installation?
Installing the iPhone into the case was very easy. The plastic cover comes in two pieces. The phone fits in, then the other cover goes on top and snaps into place. Next up, slide the silicone cover over and voila! The case is very slim and feels solid to the touch. It’s well built and I would feel confident dropping my iPhone inside this case onto the sidewalk from waist high and not even worry. The protection is really that great! You gotta see it to believe it. Watch the following video:
The Final Verdict?
This case would be perfect for those who are using their iPhone in places of high dust, dirt and debris (think construction, by the pool, beach, etc.). The holster with belt clip is adjustable and clung nicely to my belt. There are covers for the headphone jack and the bottom charge port. Full protection baby! OtterBox cases are definitely the “Mercedes” of iPhone cases out there–they are built like a tank.
This case gets the first ever… iPhone in Canada Editor’s Choice Award – Best Protection from a Case!

omg that sign up to my newsletter pop up? waaay annoying. please remove it. i’m signed up to your RSS and i doubt it registers that. plus i think it’d be more appropriate if it looked like a mac window, since the iPhone is by apple.
as for the case, it looks like it belongs on a construction site. construction workers could use the case to keep sawdust off of their phones and the iLevel app as a level on the job. construction gone high tech.
This has got to be the worst looking case, construction guys use telus mike phones anyway. Does that company have any other cases available?
Now thats the case I NEED! :):) LOL
It’s also guaranteed for life!! Too bad they didn’t have more colour selection, just black, or black/yellow
ok, so i tried other cases for my Iphone and finally broke down and bought this one. I am glad I did. Who CARES about the colors? It looks futuristic on my Iphone and people are always stopping me to ask me about the case. And did i mention i dropped my Iphone with this case on? I did !! and it was just fine. I lOVE the Otterbox. It is worth every penny. They also have coupons for discount. You just have to find them on the web.
These are the best phone covers you can ever buy and you can buy them in different colors – blk/blk blk/yel pink and all white they come in the defender series which is for the dust and accidental dropping and water resistant and they also have a waterproof series… awesome!! I have seen them in action and they really work 🙂
Having a look to see whats available but decided I prefer my handmade leather pouch from ikonicedge in new zealand.
I love my Otterbox Defender series case. I has fully protected my investment. I had to purchase a screen cover to get rid of the oil slicking effect on the front.
My biggest concern with the defender series case is now my iphone can not dock into anything such as a home theater or ihome clock radio and such. The case of the defender makes the overall dimensions of the iphone too big to dock.
I am eagerly awaiting an extension cord to be made available so I can plug my iphone into my other devices without having to remove my phone from the otterbox protective case. If anyone knows of an extension cord available for the iphone, I would love the suggestion.
Much appreciated
Thanks to your review I decided to buy the Defender for my new iphone. It is all and that you say and more. I'm really happy with it. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for the review! I have used an Otterbox defender case on my iPhone 1g for over a year now and it has provided great protection. The silicone case has started to get worn and the flap that protects the sync port at the bottom tore. I contacted Otterbox about purchasing a replacement silicone and Natasha sent me a replacement case free of charge! So Thanks Very Much Otterbox and I intend to get an Otterbox case once I replace my current iPhone with a newer model!!
You're welcome! Now that is what you call great customer service!
how do you remove the case?
Cheapest price I've seen for this case, $27.42 shipped (24.99+ 2.43 ship)

Otterbox defender is really made to defend something . Design is great and the color of the case is quite attractive. This case is generally made for the people who prefer moreover protection from dust.
