OtterBoxDefender Series Case for HTC One M9 - Retail Packaging - Glacier (White/Gunmetal Grey)

Excellent cases. I got the blue and my husband got the gunmetal color. My only gripe was the difficulty getting the case apart to install on my phone. There were picture "instructions", but nothing else, and the case wasn't on Otterbox's website (it's a few years old now), so no help there. I finally was able to peel the layers apart and get the case on properly. It is bulky and adds quite a bit of weight to your phone, but it is made to really protect your phone, so... I haven't used the holster yet, as I usually put my phone in my purse or pocket, but the convertible clip/kickstand will come in handy while streaming and on lunch breaks :) There is some getting used to involved with using the keyboard with the new case as it adds a lip to the phone, so I am not able to type as quickly as I did- keep having to backspace to correct words, mainly because I'm missing the space bar. However, after some adjusting, I'm sure it'll be fine. The case definitely will protect the phone, which is the point, right? And without the holster it still fits in my pocket- a must for me. Will have to see what hubby thinks of his gunmetal grey/white one, since he hasn't put his on yet. If you don't mind a little extra bulk & weight, this case is great & built like a tank! Non-slip shell, too, which wasn't really mentioned in description- plus.

This is a great case as it is not too bulky or too brittle. My first otter case I paid $50 for and that was money well spent. I have had my phone so long that this is my second otter case for this phone. My phone is 5 years old or more and still looks like I just pulled it out of the box! I only purchased a new one since the rubber/silicone cover begins to soften after a couple of years. Otterbox gaurantees the plastic case for one year from purchase date and their customer service in the past was GREAT! I work in construction and this case takes a beating.Negative, the plastic screen protector does not cover the area of the speaker and microphone so in dusty conditions (construction sites) it will get dust between the screen and protector and require some occasional dismantling for cleaning.

There were some rudimentary directions. This is why I posted so many pictures. Hopefully, they will show the process a little bit better.The case feels and looks very rugged. The dust cover for the screen is a little annoying as it clicks against the screen. But it does look like it could be taken out fairly easily. I do have an impact protective screen cover installed as well. since the dust cover would not be protective for impacts.The surface is textured so that it stays put when you put it down and does not slide around. It feels good in the hand.I really like the layered approach this phone case has.I recommend this product and I would buy it again if I had need of another case.ADDITION TO REVIEW:That dust screen caused a terrible glare across the screen making it extremely difficult to read the map of my GPS app. So I removed the dust screen. It came out with little effort. It is glued in and with some patient pressure I was able to overcome the seal. Now I really like this protective case. No more clicking! That was driving me nutz!

This case is ok. But I've gotten used to my dot view case which I still think is pretty cool. This "casual" blue case is really a baby blue. Not denim as I was hoping. But for only four bucks who's complaining? These use to be quite pricey when they first came out. And all the guys at work had them. This is a lot better looking and stylish than the big bulky black boxes of the past. So yeah I'll use it for a while but it won't fit into my bed side docking station. And I won't see my cool Dot View graphics light up with the alarm or phone calls. Oh well . . And since the HTC M9 has gorilla glass you really don't need the screen protector which is a dust collector around the speaker holes and causes touch typing problems.*update next day*: Clip broke off while trying to clip it to my belt! And the little ball bearing and spring is missing. Junk! Reduced to two stars! Back to my tried and true, slender dot view case. Never should have bought this in the first place. crazy. It sticks out like a sore thumb and catches on everything anyway. made in mexico. RETURNED!

My HTC One M9 has survived exceptionally well due to this very product. I purchased the first one through vzw when I first got it. Dropped it about ~23 times. No damage has ever occurred. I loved it so much that I decided I needed another. (2 other cases I bought didn't last and broke easily) The Defender case is the only case I'll ever buy from now on for any of my devices. Pair this with a tempered glass and you have zero worries.Thankyou Otterbox for these amazing products.After a year or so, the rubber gets loose from so much opening and closing the flap foe the charger and headphones. I believe this somewhat weakens it and eventually that corner breaks.I've gone through three colors on the Defender series for my HTC ONE M9. Currently sporting the grey and white version. Yes. I still use one. It'll be 4 years of hard use in April of 2019. Works just as it should now, and it should survive until then. These cases have allowed me to not worry about accidental drops.Once I do eventually get another phone, and I know I've said this before, I'll buy an Otterbox case for it as well.Update: 06/01/2020 I still have the HTC One M9. Just bought a new case for it again. 4th or 5th otterbox I've had for it. Every time it's a better price. Aha! Totally worth the investment.

The case is nigh on indestructible, however the inbuilt screen protector can be mildly annoying as it does reduce the sensitivity of the touchscreen. Still, I cannot fault it as a means of protection.

Pros - Great case. Fits perfectly and offers great protection.Cons - Dust can get under built in screen protector and you have to take the whole case off (2 pieces with many clips) to clean it. Also the touch screen isn't as sensitive because of the screen protector.

My husband uses his phone at work and finds this case feels particularly secure whilst still being able to use all functions effectively. A bit chunky for normal use, but great if you need extra protection.

Great price - excellent case. Delivered in about 5 days and was contacted by the seller when leaving the depot. The case feels good, and although it hides the phones shape, it is robust, tactile and probably bomb proof.

Fast delivery. This case is perfect when you have a two year old.
