is the otterbox worth it? better brand?

I think so. It's much cheaper than replacing the entire phone, or even just the screen.
1875554
Worth every penny! However, I don't have much experience with other brands so I wouldn't be able to say.

The easy andwer to this is how much is your ohone.worth to you? The otter is a little big but it protects well. I dropped my phone and the bix literally saved it. I would buy it again. Yes it is worth it.

Hope I'm not too late on this reply -- I have been using it for a month now and love it. Protects well but does not add too much bulk in my opinion. Also happy with the look. Feel good about how well my phone is protected. Found it easy to install. I do not have any trouble using the screen with it either, as some have mentioned.

the Otter box is very worth it I've tried many cases out there but none come close to a Otter box from dropping your phone to accidentally getting it wet and I am rough on my phone and my Otter box has taken everything I've thrown at it to say the least. ..you will not regret it I assure you

Every cent! I had an Otterbox on my Iphone 4S and when I traded it for my Samsung Galaxy Note II I have now, the phone rep handling the upgrade commented that she had not seen a trade in look as good as mine. Guess what I bought for my Note? I have a friend who works at a refinery and while inspecting one of the towers had his Otterbox equipped Iphone slip out of his jacket pocket. It bounced down the stairway of the tower for two stories and free fell the last three to the concrete. He returned to the ground and picked up what was left of his phone. The Otterbox was damaged but the Iphone did not have a scratch! It worked perfectly. I will always have an Otterbox on my cell phone. Every cent!

Phone feels very secure in otterbox. I believe it to be worth the money. I have dropped my phone a few times with no ill effects!

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

I have had the Otterbox for a while now, and I have not had any problems. I love mine.

I would imagine. I have never had an otterbox. I am new to smart phones for now.. This case comes in 3 pieces & has a plastic piece that goes under the rubber piece. It's nice!

Yes, i really like it-similar to otterbox. I would say it is worth the money plus there is cool colours!

I have not tried it with any other cases, and in my opinion it is just better to invest in an otterbox.

Otterbox is great, I do still use otterbox on some of my products but I also use griffin , it is just a bit smaller and lighter and has just as much protection . The only problem griffin does not make cases for as many models as otterbox. As a women this means a lot to me.

The OtterBox case is a little more roughed than the typical phone case and it is thicker and wider which makes it really nice to holdin your hand when you are using it. I probably would never visit a reg. case again. Shop your item on Amazon and not the retailer becauseyou will find it a lot cheaper online than in the store. Hope this helps!

Didn't have an Otterbox case, different brand. Otter would probably work. BUT I sent this back. Crummy design in my opinion... j

I'm not sure about otterbox, i never purchased one because they always seemed so bulky. I love this case because it is the right about or thickness without taking away from the phone, if that makes sense. I have a toddler and the phone has been dropped three times since i puchased the case and it has protected the 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.

Hi Nessa, I actually never looked at the Otterbox Defender case. Decided to buy the lifeproof case after lots of research on the net. For our ipad 2 we bought a cheaper brand that claimed to do the same thing as the Lifeproof case. Unfortunately didn't even come close to the Lifeproof case. The Lifeproof case does everything it says it does and we like that it isn't bulky. We are really happy with our purchase. Hope this helps. Kathy

I'm sorry that happened to you, I did not put an otter box, rather got the amazon version case, and bougt a 10$ tempered glass screen protector, I've dropped mine a bunch of times, never broke, I've broken the apple ipad a few times ( I work in very active settting...but find the kindle hd 8.9 is by far the strongest of the tablets i've owned.

Unfortunately I don't use an Otterbox case anymore. I previously used Otterbox cases with my iPhone 4. Since upgrading to iPhone 5S I've switched to Lunatik. In my opinion Lunatik offers more protection than Otterbox. Research them and see what you think.

If you just want good protection, I'd get an OtterBox. If you want the storage too, I don't recommend it because the latch isn't strong and kept popping open.

Not really lol that's why it's better than otterbox! It's the right size it protects just as much as the otter box but it's not as bulky though!

The difference between the Otterbox series depends on the size of the case and the amount of protection that it offers. Honestly, I've been happy with all Otterbox products and have found the more protective ones to be too bulky for everyday use. That being said, I would only buy the most bulky ones for children or others who have a tendency to drop electronics.
