The Otterbox itself is great. It's reasonably easy to put together and secures the phone very well whilst still making it easy to use. I actually prefer holding the phone in tbe box to out of it. The only shame is the belt clip occasionally gets caught and comes undone, for example when getting out of the car. This is partly due to the fact it can be held open as a stand.

I was looking for something that would protect my new phone from my clutzy self and this fits the bill. The case itself comes in two parts, a rigid plastic case and a rubberised over-skin. Everything fits wells and the over-skin gives a nice solid grip. The screen cover is faultless too. The instructions for assembly could have been a little more verbose but that aside I really can't fault it.

It isn't the most elegant solution for an iPhone, but it is pretty rugged. If anything, makes your very 'attractive' iPhone less likely to be knocked/bumped, but also less likely to be spotted as an iPhone and 'lifted'. Not for the fashion conscious unless your ideal car is also a defender; very appropriate name for the case!

The otterbox for the Iphone 4s is not only strong (plastic case & silicone) but also has a plastic glass on both sides to protect the screen and the photo lense. On the other hand the hole for headphone is misplaced...

Nice tough construction . Went for this as I already have a box for my Blackberry. However there is one major design flaw. The headphone socket is obstructed as the "hole" for the headphone is in the wrong place. It would seem Otter haven't really bothered updating the box for the iPhone 4S. Overall A minus. Could do better.

I had the case for my iphone 3gs this is a lot better and slimmer and I do not have to take the phone out when I charge it with my ted baker charger whe I go fishing.

I previously had the Defender for 3gs and loved it that was an amazing case with great protection and after dropping my 3gs getting out of my car and no damage I knew had made the right decision. This new defender I was a bit concerned about as reviewers were complaining about the silicone being very soft and stretch over time and the port cover at the bottom not fitting well and popping open. This is not the problem with the new 4s case as its a very tough fairly rigid silicone that keeps its shape and the port covers seats perfectly it just takes a few secs to open and close them carefully. The only possible problems are no transparent plastic cover around the cut out over the front cam and ear piece, no plastic transparent cover over rear cam and flash and no cover fabric over the mic and speaker at the bottom for total dust protection. I would have loved these two features but seeing as otterbox have dealt with the problem of damaging the mic, speaker and both cams by heavily recessing them within the otterbox defender. I would not hesitate in recommending any Otterbox product they are without doubt perfect for the job they are designed for. Otterbox Defender for iphone 4s is a 5 star product giving 5 star protection.

Got the otterbox defender as I needed a case which would withstand bumps, to date the case has been great. The only problem is the outer rubber to the case has come loose due to opening the flap for charging, apart from that great.

If you'vegot an iPhone 4s and you use it on the go, outdoors then this Otterbox case is the business. It doesn't add that much bulk but its does give you the peace of mind that its protected from all falls or knocks and works perfectly. The case fits easily in my trouser pocket and the rubber casing doesn't drag against your clothing as put it in and out of the pocket. The iPhones are expensive to replace, so the cost of the case is a small price to pay, so it remains damage free and as good as new, even if you do drop it.
