What is the difference between this and the otter box??

This is a hard case with a rubberized case over it. I have these on my kids iPads they work great.

Otter box is more plastic and IMO not as cushy feeling on your hands as you hold the iPad. The only thing that has a funky design is the little feet that prop the unit up if you want to. Read hands free. Pretty tipsy. I don't use it.

When I bought the otter box for the iPad there was no integrated screen protector which this has- I think they have updated it since then. Also all the holes have these rubber covers so that there is no unprotected entrance holes. If you want to use the camera or hear the speakers better you have to uncover them, which doesn't bother me.

I don't have an otter box to answer the question. But... The iPhone insert is larger than the apple version. Forgot to mention that on the review :(

It comes in the original otter box case and is the authentic otter box... I love mine and wish I would have bought this from the get go... Awesome case!!!

It works perfect. Otter box, I believe has a screen that prevents you from touching the keypad & apps. Whereas Trident doesn't have this screen but a very thin protective sheet that can be placed on the screen. I don't have this thin protective screen on my phone.

It doesn't say otter box on the item. But it is exactly like the real otter box. I have no complaints about this case. It has been well worth the money.

It is no otter box. But it offers a substantial amount of protection. All corners are wrapped. It is hard to remove phone from case, so it will not come out if dropped. Has a lip in front to protect screen from scratches when set face down. I drop my phone a lot and have had no problems. I used to have an otter box which I feel offers the best protection, but was bulky. If you work construction or someplace your phone is taking a heavy beating I would not advise this case. But if you are more if an average user and want a wallet on your phone this is the best one around. It is no otter box. But it offers a substantial amount of protection. All corners are wrapped.

Don't know. This is the first OtterBox I've bought. But what Paul answered earlier today about the Commuter is true and it makes sense that if it is the outer cover made out of soft rubbery it will become stretched out over time. Anyway, my take is that soft rubbery insert and hard outer cover on the outside, is more protective of the phone itself. Point proven and tested as my husband has dropped the phone already twice (on tile floor and on the street) and not a dent, not even on the outer cover.

Never used the Otter box, but it is a great case. I am very happy with the fit and durability of this product especially with the much cheaper price.

Mine is almost identical to the otter box, but the rubber doesn't seem to fit as tight as the Otterbox

I think it's about the same as an otter box. It doesn't have the screen protector but I don't like them anyways. It does the job!! U can't beat it for the price!!!

I have no idea. I purchased the Otter Box for my daughter and barely got a glimpse of it.

Nothing like the otterbox. I have the Otterbox commuter case as well, and the seidio has a larger footprint, because of the seal around the phone. Plus, the otterbox isn't waterproof.

It is actually fairly similar, however otter boxes are obviously the most safe. It protects great though an is very sturdy!! I love this case!

The blue portion (ends) is softer & more cushioning than the harder white plastic on the rest if it. This is no otter box, but it is protective. It has been dropped (my 13 yr old owns it!). It survives a 13 yr old!

The Defender is more protective, and more bulky. It also comes with a belt clip. The Commuter is a slimmer, but very protective case. Still protects the phone from drops and falls, just not from extreme heights!

The defender has a better screen protector as it's a hard plastic cover over screen. The defender is a bigger thicker box. The commuter is slimmer but there is no real screen cover as it is a sheet of plastic you have to press on the screen. My screen cover started rolling on the edges after two weeks. Neither boxes are waterproof. I'd rather have the more bulkier defender box.

I have a defender for my iPhone 5 and an armorbox for my son's 5C. They are similar, not the same. As others have said it is a whole phone case with screen protection. The difference is the rubber exterior. The defender has a rubber sleeve that fits over the plastic case. The armorbox has rubber integrated over shock points, but not the whole phone. They both are strong and will protect against drops.
