I want to know if you think this is as protective a case as an Otterbox Defender or Lifeproof Fre'

I don't think it is as good a protective case but it's much less bulky with a great deal of protection just depends on what you are really after.

First, I, also, purchased Spigen's glass screen protector. The plastic screen protector for the Defender, after a while, will get scuffed up. Con: not as water-resistant because the ports and switches are not covered by rubber tabs. Pro: thinner, lighter, less bulky. In my humble opinion, I think its as protective as the Defender. I do not have any experience with Lifeproof. I hope this helps.

First of all this case has no protection you drop it once your phone is gone.nothing like a otterBox. Yes I do own this case

Absolutely. Otter Box is first class protection. The case is not water proof.....but it's not supposed to be

Yes, I have dropped my phone many times and the case protected it. But, the case itself will break.

This case [in my experience] has been very protective for me, the case does wrap around the top and all the sides, but does not cover the volume buttons or the power button. But I would recommend getting a screen protector or something to help protect your screen, with this case my phone has been fine, but I have dropped it face first onto concrete without a case and it hasn't shattered so I may just have a lucky phone, but I would suggest maybe getting a screen protector or just be really careful, but hopefully your phone is as rugged as mine and you can get any case without worry! Hope this helped! [And sorry if this was confusing a little, I get off topic sometimes.

It is highly protective case...you don't have to worry if you were to drop it with case on it.

I have not had the defender, just the life proof. It is not as durable as the defender I am sure. It does have a good bumper though. A few of my students at my school have the commuter and they say they frequently drop their phones. So far so good, no one has damaged or cracked screen.

It's not a " safe" like an otterbox, but I love mine. Yes it is a quality leather case that protects my iPad. Maybe if I threw it against the wall as hard as I could who knows. It is just as advertised .

The Case buy for other person, but she told me that Not.The case is similar a lifeproof case.Note: The Armor isn't the WATERPROOF as Lifeproof.The screen is exposed. Armor haven't the protective film (plastic foil) as for example in OtterboxThe Armor is a Excellent Protector Case, I have a for IPAD and never has scratched the screen.

to me personally its about average when you put a protective case on it. i personally dont think its very bulky. we've not used an otterbox on this phone yet

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 think that both are great! It's not like it's the Lifeproof case. There are holes for the speakers on these cases.

It may be slim but protective....unless ur going to drop it everyday, three times a day, it will get the job done

This is not a case for protection, it's mostly for show. I'd get an otterbox if you're looking for that kind of protection.

I personally think it's better than my commuter otter. It's very sturdy and I've dropped it several times. Hope this helps

In my opinion it is very similar to an otter box case. It has the 3 components for added protection and a wonderful price to boot.

I have never had a problem with my OtterBox Defender. It was the best thing for me protects my phone and I can hear with no concerns from the person on the other end.

It is similar to lifeproof or otterbox cases. I do not think it is overly thick but does provide great protection of the phone. If you are looking for something more light weight this may not be the one. But if you are looking for a case that provides excellent protection to the phone this may be for you. As others have mentioned too, it is smooth enough to be able to slide in and out of you pocket.
