Hi Kliphton, I hope you don't mind if I'm skeptical, Otterbox Defender cases might be good, but if two cars actually ran over this iPhone in the Otterbox Defender as in one of the cars wheels actually drove right over it and this happened twice then I highly doubt an Otterbox Defender would leave an iPhone inside completely undamaged. Just my thoughts.

This is all a matter of personal preference. I have been using otterboxes for almost 5 years, I have never had a slow responding screen, and I have always been able to sell my phones as practically new because of this. I had a friend, who was against otterboxes, she decided to go with one just to spite me, dropped her phone in the street the very next day, 2 cars and a motor cycle ran over the phone before she got a chance to get to it. The case was banged up, but the phone when taking it out was flawless, so to each there own. I am going with the temperd glass on my iPHone X, and 50 bucks is a bit high for glass screen protectors, I only paid 40 for mine. > On Dec 1, 2017, at 12:05 AM, Tom Lange <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > I don’t like the plastic screen protectors that come with the Otterbox > Defenders.
