Is this case a real otterbox? or is it a knock off one? some of the comments say the cases fell apart the day of and that makes it seem fake.

I don't know if it was fake or real, but it was not the quality that I expected comming from the Outerbox. It started to chip and break apart days after I got it.

This is a real Outterbox, I have previously owned a knock off and the corners cracked after a few drops. I dropped my phone on the street the other day, no damages, to my phone or the case. Not even a scratch.

I've had mine for about 2 months and it's perfectly fine. Those who are complaining of it falling apart in a matter of weeks probably are continuously taking it off. I love mine and had kept it on since I got it. It's definitely legit.

Yes it's real, but I ordered the otterbox defender it's much better, it actually has the screen protector built in it, whereas the commuter don't.

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 just been in contact with OtterBox ..they assure me if this item is sold and shipped by AMAZON ..it is the real thing ..they can not verify from any other 3rd party seller .....

I don't think it's real. I bought the legit case at the iPhone store and it felt sturdier and had a different design on the bottom of the case for the ports. See photos I posted.

When I ordered mine in Teal, it came in what appeared to be legitimate OtterBox packaging. I compared it to the one sold at our carrier's store and it looked to be exact. If it is not a real OtterBox (mine has the logo on the back too) than it is a great fake. I think it is a real OtterBox.

No it's not fake and please learn how to spell sew because sue is the correct spelling . My husband has this case and he loved it and it has protected his iPhone 4s since he got this from amazon.

I tried the warranty thru otterbox and they said this case was not an original otterbox!! And when I asked the ones I purchased it from they stated there was only a 90 day warranty!!

Authentic....I have never seen a knock off come in the sealed box with the otterbox stamp. There are cheaper ones but they are not $40. Knock offs are in the range of $10-$20. Otterbox is nothing more than a name. It is a hard case with a rubber boot around it. Many cases sold at Best Buy are like that but for the Defender series Otter....it has the screen protector.

No, it is NOT an Otterbox!! It is a cheaply made "knock off". It does work as a protective case, but the quality is now where close to an Otterbox.

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.

Frankly, I don't believe in "faked Mophie" theory. I purchased both my mophie cases in quite trusted stores - Apple Store and Best Buy, so I am pretty sure my cases were authentic. However both malfunctioned after 1-1.5 years of service, so I need 3rd case. Also jack port is really troublesome. It was incredibly awful in my first mophie and slightly better in the second one. I didn't rate it 1-star as mophie was still very useful and other models don't seem any better. But I can imagine some people were quite disappointed/angry with those problems and rated 1-star.

I can't see them putting their name on it if its fake. I'm sure that would incur lawsuits. The case is great but the holster definitely is junk and does not live up to its name.. Mine broke twice the second time it didnt even last for a week. I bought this brand for my husband. I have the ballistic and that case also broke but company honored their product and sent me another one which i still have and appreciate the company (BALLISTIC) for putting customers satisfaction first...

Can you provide some evidence of what you're saying?? To me it looks totally legit, and even if it weren't it's a great case and provides protection like no other to my phone, I changed it just because the commuter series from otter box is slimmer.

It looks real, with the front cover logo and all, but the size is slightly off and the construction is very poor. The case began to fray within a week of my starting to use it. I was sorry I purchased it, and you will be too. Amazon should not allow sellers to mislead consumers by selling apparent Apple products which are not. Or maybe they were mistakes from an original Apple run, that it would not sell itself and fobbed off to some jobber. Who knows? I also don't know if the seller licensed the Apple logo, but if it did not, Amazon is now fully on notice that it may be abetting trademark infringement. Very disappointed!

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.

Not sure about a knock off, but can definitely say it is very good quality! My screen is super clear & it's very sensitive to the touch. This is the 2nd one I've purchased. The 1st one protected my phone for several drops, then the protector itself actually cracked, not the phone.

Mine were real and I've had them for a while and I love them ... but i don't have any knowledge of any fakes sold, I got mine like new and they work fine, also if you have a huge case like survivor or otter box cases you need a new cord for them like 6$ a "male to male cord" but I do recommend these
