Yes, I still use that phone, largely because of this product. 5 years later and my phone is still a champ and doesn't even have the smallest scratch or blemish on it. I almost wish something would happen so that I have an excuse to upgrade. At this rate, I could still be using this phone when they come out with the iPhone 27. As it is, I am not quite as in love with this second Otterbox as I was the first one. The outer case is stiffer and doesn't fit quite as well on one corner, even though it is perfectly adequate and there's no slippage. But the other one had had it and after 4 years, some of the rubber perimeter had started to peel. I'll take a case that puts up with me, protects my phone, and lasts that long any day. The other downside to either of these cases is that the fingerprint area has to be very clean or it won't read the fingerprint. On this case, that means removing it entirely to clean both the inside and outside of the little lens over the fingerprint reader. Without it, a quick wipe of the phone screen on a shirt tail or tissue would take care of that. Otterbox cases do require periodic disassembly in general anyway as they tend to trap dirt. It's not a big deal though as about 5 minutes a month is more than adequate. Construction is solid and it makes the phone impervious to drops. I've dropped mine from 6 ft before, but my wife has dropped hers off a 10 ft balcony onto concrete with no damage. It really is that good. A year later, no dysfunction. The face edges are high, the corners are well protected, the face has a shield, and the back is well cushioned rubber that repels moisture like that of a wet table. There is literally no possibility of dropping a phone on a flat surface from normal heights in such a manner that it will hurt the phone. I would caution that if your phone gets wet, you'd better be fast, and this case doesn't just snap on and off. It takes 30-60 seconds to remove the case. In the meantime, the water is held against the phone and won't drain. It's happened a couple of times to me and there were no issues, but it's something to consider. The second thing is that it's a little difficult to swipe up the bottom menu. I think the edge just comes up a little too high for me and my big thumb to adequately catch the edge. Review: Wish it was just a tiny bit better - I like this case a lot. There are pros and cons to using it, however. Pros: -Durability unmatched by any case -Quality of materials is the best I've ever encountered -The case protects the port and vibration/ring switch -The case fits snugly around the phone -The buttons all match up and work easily -The port covers are very easy to open but also very secure -The fingerprint scanner works pretty well, even with the cover from the case. I think it works better than it did without it because it shows smudges less... I haven't needed to redo my fingerprint like I had to without the case. -Handles drops like a champ. I throw my phone around because I know it can handle it. The peace of mind is great. I don't freak out when I drop it. I dropped it so badly while in line at the deli, and it was unscathed. Cons: -I scratched the front screen protector probably with my keys in my purse. I wish that part was more durable or self-healing. -The case is heavy, and it causes fatigue in my arms. -There is not a phone holder specifically for this phone for cars. -The top speaker area is susceptible to water getting in. When that happens, it goes down in between the screen and the case, and the whole case needs taken off to fix that. I had this happen with one measly drop off water from my hair after a shower. They should have a seal around the case edging around the hole there. -The reason I have to take this case off at all is because, again, that annoying top hole around the speaker is unsealed. Dust also migrates down there, necessitating cleaning. Bottom line, I would buy this phone case again, especially since no other case protects as well as this. This thing is super rugged. I like it a lot. I just wish it was also waterproof and dustproof. ## Features - Trusted OtterBox Quality: With OtterBox, you're not just buying a case; you're investing in peace of mind.

It was easy to install, is cut perfect for an iPhone 8 Plus and the OtterBox Defender series case snapped shut with no problem. I did remove the plastic cover first. **Q: Is the screen responsive** A: The Otterbox Defenders that say "retail packaging" comes from China, and the screen protector is NOT responsive. That's the one I got. My husband got the kind that came in "frustration-free packaging" and it IS responsive. So beware which one you buy! **Q: Is this the updated one for the iPhone 8 Plus?** A: Better and cheaper than Otterbox iPhone 7 Plus/8 Plus case, here it is, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MTMNEC7 **Q: I already have a scree protector on my phone. Can the screen protector piece be removed before putting the case on?** A: I’ve done this twice with this case. It’s a project and has to be done slowly and I used a small exacto knife to cut the screen protector out so the parts that are glued are left intact. I used the defender with no screen protector at all which was my preference. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I won't use anything else *by P***C on November 22, 2020* I'm on my second one of these for my iPhone 7 Plus.
