it is basically identical the physical hardware of the case of the only difference between the two cases be honest with you I think they're both just the same

I used to have Otterbox and I think this one is better. Better design and look and not plastic feeling

Hi Kim, This OtterBox has a thin layer of plastic over the screen. Above the screen where the camera is, has thick plastic over it so it is higher than the screen, making it almost impossible to crack or damage the screen. :) I hope this helps you out!

There is no screen protection other than plastic covers which you can place on the screen. The case is very thin with little corner protection. The original was a hard case and the replacement is a soft rubber type material. I have not used an otterbox, but I had a Ballistic with my previous phone and now have purchased a Ballistic for my GS5.

Haven't used the Defender yet, but Spigen iPad Screen Protector is great! Do not ever notice it is no the screen!!!

Yes, it is. Although it doesn't do anything to protect the screen from scratches like the otterbox comes with a screen cover, so I bought separate screen protectors. They are cheap on amazon, I bought a 2 pack for $3 and am satisfied. But it has the hard case on inside, rubber on outside and I trust it enough to let my one year old play on it (I downloaded some coloring apps and she loves to draw and run around with it) I would spend the money on this case of I were you, they are about $30 in stores.

I'm not familiar enough with the otterbox models to make a comparison. It is definitely less bulky than the defender. For the price, I think the Ballistic Aspira is as much case as anyone needs unless they are going to drop it in water. Hope this helps.

I drop this thing at least 3 times a day(most recently from 10 foot bleachers onto a concrete floor) and I have never had a problem. I do have a fairly pricey screen protector I got from ATT ($30 bucks but worth it) however. This case is really good and if you haven't already bought an otterbox, don't.

No, it does not have anything to protect the screen. I thought it looked that way too, but that was not the case. I will be purchasing the film protectors. It is not like the Defender or Otterbox cases, but I didn't expect that for the price. It's still a nice case though.

Yes, my OtterBox came with a screen protector. I have dropped my phone since receiving the otterbox and I m please to say that I am no longer worried about it breaking or being damaged anymore when I drop it.

The edges are pretty slim the back of the case seems a little bit thicker, I used to use the Otterbox Commuter and this Armor case is way more thinner, I have the transparent one and it looks awesome on my S5, now I cant say is drop proof, I havent drop it yet...so I dont know how this case perform.

They both are great with amount of protection that they provide. The only difference is that the Defender Series comes with a built in screen protector.

Unfortunately no screen protection. I'm not sure if there is a case like an otterbox for this phone. The edges come up so that if falls flat it's protected but if it hits a rock it's a wrap. Good luck and happy hunting..

Think it's similar to the Otterbox Commuter series not Defender. Comes with a 2 piece case - one rubber case that fits into a hard plastic shell case. And also comes with a screen protector film. I think Trident has other cases that compare to the Defender series but don't remember the name.

Sorry for the late response I don't check my e-mail a lot. It is has a lot of protection, it's just like an otter-box but more stylish. The screen protector is not built in sorry.

The Defender is bigger and the commuter is slightly smaller. The Defender has a rougher outside and is built seemingly more rigid than the commuter I only have the commuter. I haven't ever tried a defender, it has a built in screen protector as part of the case, The commuter does not so you can do like I do and use adhesive ones or not use them at all because well the screens have come a long way since the beginning of smartphones they hold up better than before.

I have only had mine for a month on this phone. So far so good. The Otterbox screen protector that I had on my Galaxy S3 lasted for well over a year. It lasted until I put a screw driver in the same pocket as the phone and scratched it up pretty good. However, it did what it was supposed to do, because the screen on the phone didn't scratch from the screw driver.

The defender series comes with built in screen protection, the commuter cases come with a screen protector that you have to install yourself. If you get the commuter, I would highly recommend getting a Zagg screen protector, the Otterbox ones aren't very good.
