I purchased this case a few months ago, and now the rubber has huge air bubbles in it. Aswell as the rubber piece to protect the charging port has fallen off just from daily use

Yes, I'd recommend this product.
I bought this thing years ago and just saw this review. I decided to submit this review because the case for my iPhone 13 Pro Max is still going strong. It's coming apart at one corner but this case was/still is very nice. This is definitely the best case I've ever owned for my phone and it has always protected it! I would recommend -and- I would buy another one - it is great!

Solid phone case, that just works! I haven't dropped my phone yet, so I can't speak to the fall protection, but otherwise the case seems solid, and it keeps my phone covered.
Great case to protect my expensive phone.

Is this compatible with iPhone 17 Pro Max
Answer from OtterBox Customer Support12 days
Hello! The Defender Series XT Pro Clear Case with MagSafe for iPhone 17 Pro is not compatible with the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Answer from Verizon Customer Support12 days
No, a case designed for the iPhone 17 Pro will not fit the iPhone 17 Pro Max, as the phones have different dimensions. You need to buy a case specifically for the 17 Pro Max, such as the OtterBox Defender Series XT Pro Clear Case with MagSafe for the iPhone 17 Pro Max - RealTree APX. We do not have this model available through Verizon. ~Balter

Can this cage use touch?

This case will cover the back of the iPad, and includes an outer slipcover screen protector; it's designed to protect the screen and the rest of the iPad but will not limit touch on the screen. -Cait
