is it better then otterbox?

In my opinion yes. I had an otter once, makes the phone too big. This product is a lot thinner than the otter. Love it.

The case is slimmer and better looking than the otter box but lacks the covers for the charging port and headphone jack

I could not answer that question as I have no experience with otterbox, but it is sturdy and comfortable.

mine is silicone. so i think it depends which material otterbox you get. i don't know which one protects better. but this goes around the back and sides much like the otterbox. sorry i can't be more definitive.

I found the commuter to be more slimline than the defender but both work the same in protecting my galaxy. I liked the defender more but it is bulkier ( I use a belt holster to house it)

I have dropped my phone once or twice and it hasn't damaged the phone. It won't be as protective as an Otterbox because it is less bulky but I have heard from the bestbuy mobile reps that this case will protect the phone pretty well if you don't want the bulk of an Otterbox. Hope this helps!

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.

I would say if you are rough on a phone go with the otterbox. I travel a lot an need the extra battery for long trips.

I can't answer that question, I never tried the defender. I just know that my Verizon salesperson recommended the Otter Box and I'm very happy with mine.

Ihave used the otterbox defender series on my phones since i got my iphone 5 back 2 years ago, i bought a new one for change of color, i had a nave/green one first, i recommend this it over and over to people i know. Since i have upgraded to the iphone 6 i prefered the clear case that snaps on the back, since i now longer work with water in cleaning which i needed the ottterbox protection in case i dropped it in my bucket. i did drop it a cpl times while getting out of my car and absolutely no damage to the phone, plastic cover on face might scratch but it protects the iphone face and works with touch very well.

I prefer the UAG vs the Otterbox, I found the Otterbox really slippery with no rubber grips on the side but then again I was using an older phone so the cases might be different now. I don't know about the Spigen case. Best case ever was G-Form case but they only make cases for the S3 and iPhones, still best case ever hands down.

I've had both the Otterbox and the UAG. I like the UAG better. It;s slimmer than the OB and offers the same level of protection, and it's WAY easier to get off if yo uahve to pull the batter or something. In terms of grip, you should have no issues with the UAG.

If you drop it all the time, I personally would not recommend this one. If you don't like the thickness of the other Otterboxes, then you might try the Lifeproof Nuud. It's thin. I have it on my phone now. I've dropped my phone and rinsed sand off of it in the ocean. I also have a TechArmor screen cover on my phone as well. Hope this helps.

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

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.

Sorry I have never Bought an otterbox case before so can't really tell but I have seen otterbox around it looks like a great product I don't think this is as good as otterbox but I am happy with it. For the money it does the job.

In my opinion the Defender case is a better case and offers more protection.

Defender is more heavy duty. It is thicker and can take drops without blinking. The Commuter is skinnier, lighter and not as protective. I chose the Commuter as it fits in my pocket easier. If you are hard on your phone then go with the Defender.

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.
