I had an Otterbox very briefly. I bought it when I upgraded my phone. Switched to a Ballistic brand case. It does a great job of protecting my phone. Yes, it’s bulky, but I am clumsy and need super protection on my phone.
They are overpriced, ugly and not in any way practical but they will protect your phone/tablet etc. There are off brand cases that IMO are just as good and waay more practical for a tenth of the cost. No, I will not buy another.
You can buy an otter box on eBay for about $8, shipped, NIP.
I didn’t know you had to open the Otter Box before you could use the phone.
So, what are we using with success, other than Ballistic brand?
I need brand names and reasons.
Should I get a screen protector?
I used an Otter Box case for a previous phone, and you do not have to take the case off before using it. I don’t know why people are even saying that. I agree that they’re overpriced for what they are. However, they definitely do protect your phone. They’re bulky, which I found slightly annoying. They don’t slide on fabric well at all, so if you keep it in a pocket, it will catch a little bit when you reach to take it out.
