OtterBoxDefender XT Case for iPhone 13 with MagSafe, Shockproof, Drop proof, Ultra-Rugged, Protective Case, 5x Tested to Military Standard, Black

Very disappointed in the new "Defender" case from Otterbox. The version I had for my iPhone XS was chunky, tough and had a rubbery texture that made it almost impossible for the phone to slip out of my hand. This new version is slimline and feels as flimsy as a £5 case from a market stall. It does not feel like a premium £35+ product. But worst of all, it appears to be made of a hard, smooth plastic, it's like holding a greased eel!. Place the phone on anything other than a dead flat surface and it slides. This is exacerbated by the design decision to put a "fence" around the camera cluster. this sits several mm higher than the case body and greatly reduces the contact area with the case body and the surface it sits on.The overall impression is cheap, flimsy and slippery. I'm already looking for a replacement.

As others have said, this is quite thin compared to other ‘defender’ models in the past so I’m yet to see how this holds up longterm, however, it feels nice in hand and has the magsafe compatibility, useful for the various add-on’s Apple produce and car mounts etc.I wasn’t sure if this was compatible with glass screen protectors and scoured the internet in hope of an answer without joy; took a chance and ordered the case anyway - it fits fine around the protector I have on the moment (run of the mill cheapish matte one off Amazon) so I’m happy.Only just put the case on so will update with any other points as and when if relevant.Overall I’m happy. At the price, I just hope it holds up to the quality of previous models.

It is good but it is difficult to put on and if you want to remove it it is very difficult to remove, I thought it was better since that brand makes excellent products but with this case they did something wrong

It looks like it offers excellent protection being on the hefty side. Buttons are still clicky and responsive. I love the grippy sides that gives me a secure feeling when grabbing/holding the phone. Also has a small built-in hole for adding a wristlet or lanyard.

This phone case does NOT protect your phone. Each time I drop my phone, it breaks even more which doesn’t even seem possible. Not worth the money, it’s a scam. Picture shoes damage of the phone underneath the case. This case doesn’t protect your phone backing whatsoever. get the rhino shield cases instead.

The impression I got from the advert was that it had a protective screen when in fact it doesn’t like the other defender series.Returned and got refund no problem

Comparing to the usual Defender this is shockingly thin. Of course this is so MagSafe can operate effectively. There is the trade off.

Must have protection and MagSafe features. Works perfectly with other 3rd party MagSafe devices.
