This is my fourth otter box purchase for two different phones, the only reason for the second phone is that otter box kept the phone in such pristine condition but couldn’t save it from becoming outdated.

Great protective phone case

KLLM . 2 months ago

This case is just what I needed to protect my phone. I seem to be dropping it less since this case is not slick and is easy to hold on to.

Very good case, but don’t care for the “plastic” screen protector! Cut mine out and installed my own screen protector.

I once inadvertently tested how well OtterBox works. I’ve got one of my iPhones on the trunk of my car was going about 50 miles an hour when I realized what I had done just in time to see it fly off. The phone survived and I went bought another otter box.

Ajalbarano . Sep 18, 2016

I hear the iPhone 7 needs skin contact now for the home button since it's not a physical button. Does this case have film over it and if so, does it still work?

Answer from VZBV8 years

Ajalbarano, Making sure you can fully utilize your phone is incredibly important! This case is fully rated for the iPhone 7 and is compatible. The case is designed to still work with your finger so that the home button recognizes your touch. - Andrew
