OtterBox Saved The Day

I'm always nagging my 23yr old son to get an Otter Box for his phone. I was moving while packing I put my phone down on the back of my husbands truck and forgot it was there. 15 minutes after he left it hit me—"Omg! My phone!" I got in the car and drove the same road hopping to find my phone. There it was in the middle of the road. I got out picked it up, it was upside down must of slide.


Thanks to OtterBox my phone was in perfect condition -- not a scratch on it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Met and exceeded my expectations. My old slip cover had finally given up the ghost and I was pleasantly surprised to find a replacement was still available, even though my phone is pretty old. Keep supporting the older models. It is a tribute to your Defender series product that my phone has been kept safe!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent purchase The rubber lining of my previous case took a lot of damage, so I’m glad to be able to replace it. Also, this is an amazing case. I lost my phone at the King’s Island amusement park on the Delirium ride; it flew out of my pocket over 140’ in the air, bounced off the metal roof of the queue line, and landed on the concrete walkway. The phone doesn’t have a scratch or crack anywhere, and still works perfectly (though the rubber had some crazy marks in it). These cases are ridiculously strong.

Can you clean the iPhone SE Defender Series case?

Asked by: KrisCat
You can absolutely clean your Defender Series case for the iPhone SE. After removing the device from the case we recommend cleaning the slip cover and hard plastic with soap and warm water. If you require a product that will also sanitize your case we recommend CaviWipes, PDI Super Sani Cloth, Clorox Healthcare Hydrogen Peroxide wipes and Clorox Healthcare Bleach Wipes.
