how does this case rate to the current one for otterbox 5c?

Trident makes great cases this one is not equivelent to the otterbox but the cyclops series is and the kraken ams is even better for a similar price point

This one is not build nearly as well as the OtterBox but it's not nearly the price either, it all depends on the level of protection that you need.

Love this case! Strong and sleek! Fits in your hand nice and the material is much better than otterbox!

I haven't actually used the one for 5c- only for the iphone 5. Otterbox is definitely better quality but this one gets the job done. For the price difference, I think this one is pretty darn good, but the Otterbox looks a bit bettter, and fits much tighter.

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.

You have to ask yourself, "how much protection do I need?", when you compare the two. The Otterbox is going to offer a higher level of water protection, but at a higher retail cost. I had a waterproof, impact absorbing case before this one and I just did need the waterproof feature that much. For the cost the Trident offers a similar level of impact absorption, but lacks the total waterproof featurs of other higher end cases.

I got this case for my dad who works in construction and wanted a protective case. I am a firm believer in the otter box - but it's way more expensive and this case has been great. Seems to be equally as protective.

I don't have the model number. It is a defender series for I phone 5. I don't know if 5 and 5c are the same size. Have you tried searching for Otterbox defender series for I phone 5c?

To be honest I've never held the otterbox on the s5 active, I'd would say they are similar just going by the construction.

I'm not sure if this will answer your question, a) because the 4G one I bought several months ago has yet to break and need replacement and b) my experience is with a different model- my previous Incredible (original, non-4G) Otterbox Defender cases I have owned had belt clips break on me when mine was still within the one year warranty, and they honored replacing it by sending me an entire new unit, including a new cell phone cover and new belt clip.

Not as much as my wife's iPhone Otterbox but enough to make it feel that it could sustain a reasonable drop. I love the case, 100% satisfied. You need some bulk for adequate fall protection.

I have a plain ol' 5 - so I couldn't tell you about the 5c. It does fit pretty snug - so snug I can't use a screen protector.

I have no complaints. It came in Otterbox packaging and looked to be exactly like the one I saw in Bestbuy. I guess only time will tell.

I am not sure. I would check with Otter Box customer service and see what they suggest for 5c.

No Jennifer, this only fits the 5S. The 5C is a slightly differnet phone size and shape and OtterBox has a case for the 5C. Allot better color choice than the 5S.

I believe the otterbox is more solid a case, especially the glass. But this is smaller and lighter and pretty solid. I would say to go into the store to check both out

I have had this case for 9 months now and have had no issues at all with it. Works great, I like that it is completely automatic. I just plug it in at night and I am ready to go all day clear till the next night. I guess you have tried taking the phone out of it to see if the phone works ok by itself. If it does then I guess the case may be at fault and I would request another one. I am sure a company like Otterbox wants there customers to be happy with there products. since the speakers and mic. cutout are open I don`t see a problem there. If you have a friend with the same phone or you could go to your phone company and have them try the case on another phone just to double check it. Sorry I am not much help, but I do like mine and would be interested in hearing what you discover as I am looking to buy another one if for my wife if they ever make one for he iphone 5c Lee

It is very snug - it keeps the profile of the phone slim without a lot of overhang. I don't believe this is the best case to do drop tests with, but as far as protecting the phone from scratches and minor drops, I believe it's fine. I haven't had the flap loosen, but I've only had the case for one month now. Also, invest in some good screen covers - they are cheap and worth the extra protection. My last phone was in really good shape and I got nearly $200 when I traded it in at Apple on the 5S.

I have not had one issue with this case! I love it...In fact I just ordered another for when this one wears out lol

Well, that is kind of subjective....to me it is heavy, but I would far rather have a heavy protective OtterBox than a light one that allows my $600 phone to crack when it hits the floor. They have them at Verizon cell places, so you could check it out there and order it here. I do not regret getting it.

I have had Otterbox in the past. I prefer this case. Using it on S5 without screen protection. Only thing you should be aware if is heat. I am addicted to a couple of games, I have to take the case off when I play otherwise Android starts acting like Windows. Good news is it is very easy on/off.

I purchased it for my 5s and it fit perfectly. I can't say for sure for the 5c check the OtterBox web site to confirm for sure do take care to center the screen protector perfectly to prevent wrinkling when installing the case.

Yeah. It's the same exact color. Very pretty colors too. I think you should get it it protects nicely and it's the same thing as a otterbox but less expensive.
