Otterbox Phone Case Review

Powered by Mom brings you an Otterbox Phone Case Review

My hubby and I recently upgraded our phones,  I got the iPhone 6 and he got the iPhone 6 Plus so it was time to get new cases to protect our new purchases. We immediately thought of Otterbox as they are my hubby’s favorite case company. I’ve only used their case on my tablet not on my phone but my experience with the tablet case and hubby’s conviction that they are hands down the base company to protect our phones we decided to go with Otterbox.

I thought it would be fun for everyone to see the different sizes of the iPhones all in their various Otterbox Defender series cases!

My husband has been using an Otterbox Defender series case on his iPhone 4 for the last few years. He works at various job sites and constructions sites and he is hard on his phone. To say his phone has been dropped a few times would be an understatement. When we took his iPhone 4 out of its current case the Otterbox Defender series in Camo Tree (pictured above on the far right) it looked brand new!

I was concerned that the Defender series would be too bulky for me, especially since I was getting a bigger phone. As it turns out I had nothing to worry about, not only is my iPhone 6 so much lighter than my old iPhone 4S the Otterbox Defender series case was not bulky at all. I selected the pink Realtree Camo pattern, it just appealed to me even though I don’t usually select pink anything, I loved this pattern with the grey trim and white front it suits me and I don’t have to worry about my very light phone getting damaged from bumping it or the occasional drop. I don’t really use the holster that much but I like that I have one in case I need it.

My hubby would have liked the option to get one of the Realtree Camo patterns (except maybe the pink) but at this time they don’t have them in the iPhone 6 Plus. However as he said patterns and colors are not a big deal he’s more concerned with protecting his phone at the job site. He uses it like a tablet since it’s so big but that’s pefect for him and his “older eyes” and practical as it’s not convenient for him to have a laptop at a job site. He says his main concern is that it not get scratched, cracked, get dust in it and all the other things that fly around a construction site and he knows the Otterbox Defender series case is the ultimate i phone protection.

My husband has his phone in it’s holster all of the time and he says it does not come out of the holster until he wants it to. I don’t think anyone would ever be able to convince my husband to use anything but an Otterbox case on his phone, that’s how much he loves I agree!

It’s wonderful to be able to protect our devices that we put so much time and sometimes money in too. It doesn’t pay to go with poor quality and fortunately for us it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg to get a top quality case for our phones when it comes to Otterbox! Seriously you can’t go wrong with them so if you’re not part of the Otterbox family yet, why the heck not? There’s nothing to loose and all to gain when it comes to your gadgets!

Thanks Otterbox for making such top quality and durable cases, my only suggestion is to include even more patterns and choices for the cases especially the iPhone 6 Plus, I wouldn’t be surprised though if more were added in the future!

    I really like this review because my wife needs a case for her new phone and she was worried that the Defender would be to bulky. I let her read this review and it made her feel better about getting the defender.

    Otterbox is the ONLY brand that i’ll buy when it comes to cases. Really haven’t had one that I didn’t like. I’m not a huge fan of pink, but I absolutely love the design and color of the case that you got!

    Thanks for this great review! I didn’t know otter box made camo cases! And now I do and I’m thrilled. I have been using otter box for a while! Love the brand. I have it on my phone and on my iPad. Otter box has saved my devices several times, esp my iPad which I’ve dropped many many times, including several times on concrete, yet it looks like new thanks to these wonderful cases. I’ve been trying to convince my hubby to get one for his iphone but he’s held out, I think because of the colors, or lack of colors available. But he hasn’t seen the camo one! He would LOVES that and I know he’d jump at the chance to have one for his phone if he knew they came in camo. I liked teh top pic too where you showed the different iPhones and the various ottter box cases. It’s neat to see them side by side like that. So thanks for the awesome review of this awesome case! I’m keeping my fingers crossed and hoping I will be able to surprise my hubby with one of the camo cases for his iPhone!

    After just getting my first smart phone (the Samsung GALAXY S5), I really want to protect it. I’ve heard the Otterbox is good, and enjoyed reading this review. I am now more confident than ever that Otterbox is the best choice!! I can relate to your husband dropping his phone, my daughter dropped her last phone and cracked the front screen in multiple places. Had she been using an Otterbox, there is no doubt her screen would have been protected. I’ve only had my phone a week, but am anxious to get some protection for it. These phones are too expensive not to get the best protection.

    I just purchased an Iphone 6. I have an Otterbox on my current Iphone and love but did not hear great reviews for the Iphone 6 case. So I was very glad to hear that you have the Otterbox for your Iphone 6 and that you really like it.

      I’m surprised you heard reviews that weren’t good Ellen, the quality of the Otterbox cases are consistent, I truly do love mine and I know it will protect my phone, I’ve already accidentally dropped it and there wasn’t even a scratch. 🙂

    Hi, my hubby also works construction so I understand the need for a strong and good phone case. Phone’s now days are a huge investment and must be protected as such, and you can tell from all that you said that these case’s are great, They look really nice too I love the pictures of those camo one’s.

    I love the protection it gives the phone. I dropped both my husband’s and my phone recently and had to have the screens replaced. Then, as soon as we had them replace my husband dropped his phone. It now has a small crack in it but he thinks it may get bigger. We both need one of these Otterbox, not only for the protection, but to help us grip the phone better. We both have the beginnings of arthritis in our hands and it is sometimes very hard to grip or hold onto a slim phone. Thanks for the review!! It helps us to make a decision about which case to go with.

    We are getting new iPhones shortly and I’m so excited to get to choose my own case this time! I love Otterbox and wish I had known about this company when I had to purchase a new iPhone because of water damage six months ago. I’m going Otterbox this time around!!

    Your review just confirms what I’ve always heard about Otterbox – that they are really best on the market. They’re worth the extra money, because after all – think of how much you spent on your phone! Consider it insurance!

    My husband is constantly dropping his phone. I have had to reconstruct it several times. One of these cases would be a lifesaver!!! A very concise review that made the cases interesting and a good sale!!

Instagram post 2194172479090354467_502869795 I am #grateful for wonderful friendships. They may live thousands of miles away all over the United States (I am in Canada) but as they have proved you don't have to be in close proximity to keep up friendships & support each other. They sent my family and I these beautiful flowers to cheer us up from the loss of our beloved Apollo. #friendsfarandwide #friendships @topnotchblog @susanlbewley @missmollysays @kriskohale @styledecor @simplysherrylblog @foodwinesunshine hugs ladies
Instagram post 2187378363463484823_502869795 It is with great sadness and through tears that I write that we just lost our beloved Apollo. He was hit by a car and didn't make it. We've never lost a pet this way and so early, all of them had been with us for 10 years or more, Apollo was only with us for over a year. He was a special boy, so sweet and crazy at the same time, such a character.We are all beyond devastated, especially my husband as we lost our  beloved Luna (she was 15 years old & his constant companion like Apollo) just this past February, to make it even harder he had to go back to work right after losing Apollo this morning.I'm sharing this horrible news because I will be offline for the rest of the week as we try to deal with this loss and our emotions.I like to think that Luna, Little Zeus, Juno and Zeus are all welcoming Apollo over the Rainbow Ridge even though it was far too soon for him to go.

#RemembranceDay2019
Did you know it was a Canadian soldier who wrote In Flanders Field (see author's name below)? ************** In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
--John McCrae, Canadian Expeditionary Force World War I
