Does "hybrid" mean it is not a genuine Otterbox case? Or a cheaply made Otterbox?

I do not know what the hybrid means. Mine came in a genuine Otterbox case and was identical to my first otterbox except my first one was all black and this one is pink and purple. I cannot tell any difference in the two and I ordered my first one directly from Otterbox and my recent one through Amazon.

Hybrid simply means that is a two part case,head plastic and softer silicone.

No, it is a genuine Otterbox, I think the hybrid means that it has a communter case and belt clip. It is not cheaply made either.

It's an Otterbox. I don't think it's cheaply made. Not sure why it's a hybrid. It's not as sturdy as my original one but I like that its not as bulky.

I am suspicious that this may be a knockoff... The silicone has slightly "unfinished" edges around port flaps etc. I am also thinking that at less than 1/2 the price I've seen elsewhere it may be an issue of "you get what you pay for". I am pleased with it, for the price. It is for a 12 year old girl so maybe if it was for a steel mill worker or a carpenter it's shortcomings would be more important.

Not sure what you're asking. My OtterBox Commuter was brand new. Very well made.

I would say if it doesn't say Otterbox in he description, it ain't an Otterbox.

Its an OtterBox, genuine article. I think its just because its a different series, being the Defender

I purchased this case last year and found it was a counterfeit. Yes, it was a "Defender series for Original iPad" and the case that arrived had an Otterbox Box, but the silicone has a seam around it which real ones do not, and the hard case lined with a different, feltlike material, which is also a sign of a counterfeit. Be aware.

I don't believe it's a fake. It came in the otter box package with their instructions. I have had no issues with it thus far

no, it is NOT an otterbox. It is a step down, but for the $ is well worth it.

Hi there if you are asking me if it truly is an Otterbox, yes, it really is!

No, Mike - it's a 'cheapie'. But, it's well made. I've only had mine for a couple of months, but it's holding up just fine. Plus, it's probably one-tenth the cost of an actual Samsung case. Good luck!

I believe the confusion who you buy the product from. The responses may have come from many buyers from many different sellers. I recall taking time to verify which seller was actually selling with the Otterbox name.

it is supposed to be a soft case. if you get a hard case, it is a counterfeit.

it's definitely an authentic otterbox. mine has held up extremely well and the hard part of the case is still in excellent condition after several months.

I have this otterbox on my phone right now. Everything indicates it is authentic. If it's counterfeit it is a very good copy. One of the best otterbox cases I have owned. Has held up very well.

It says Otter box. I've talked to other people who have had this same problem too.

The picture states that is an Otterbox Defender replacement. And I don't know who manufactures it.

Real thing I believe, ours says Otterbox right like the real ones does so I would say yes :)

if you look closely it says "Product DescriptionEXACT OTTERBOX QUALITY WITHOUT THE LOGO! THIS IS A GENERIC ITEM! SAVE MONEY! OTTERBOX GENERIC PREMIUM QUALITY! SHIPS FROM USA! FAST SHIPPING! " but it says "by otterbox" I do not think it is genuine. but that does not make it a bad case.
