is this the newer defender case; like what they produced for the iphone 5?

The Otterbox Defender is the brand I have and I have found it to be sturdy but comfortable to hold. They are somewhat a challenge to put on but they hold the shape through lots of wear.

I have the defender case for iPhone 4S. The silicone outer color part outside is improved and does not scretch out anymore and the inner hard plastic case is easier to take apart then the first version of this case.

My Defender case is for the 4S, also. I'm not sure what the case for the iPhone 5 looks like, but I really like my case. The silicone cover is great and I don't worry about dropping it. I had purchased a Zagg cover (front only) and so I removed the shield from the Otterbox case. No complaints here!

Yes, I'm using it with my iPhone 5. I bought a glass screen protector at Verizon, and a leather holster case with clip for when walking my dog, and it's still lighter than the Defender case I used previously.

I second that. Is this product available now? There is another product labeled as the otterbox iPad defender that is already out, has 5 reviews, and is selling for about $80-90.

yes it does, it is a nice case and a sturdy case. My husband liked it because it is not as bulky as the defender case.

Same materials as the defender (I have a defender) , but definitely not as substantial. I was hesitant about getting anything less than the defender initially because I've dropped mine at least a dozen times with no issue but this one is the proper size for my wife and she's willing to take the chance. The biggest difference in the two different cases I think is the lack of coverage on the front of the phone. If you're worried about the glass breaking, the defender is definitely safer. You're going to have to weigh the pros and the cons of each design. Hope this helps.

I have the commuter series. The commuter is a bit less bulky, and offers a little less protection than the defender. It's still pretty rugged though.

Yes, it's a great case. I had one for my iPhone 4 and ordered this one when I upgraded to the iPhone 5.

Here is what I have found on-line: "5 and 5S have are the same size. While the 5c I believe is thicker." The Defender is for a 5 AND 5s so I think you're good to go. I got the Ibera weather resistant case from Amazon and it has been excellent so this company seems to make an honest product.

They both are great with amount of protection that they provide. The only difference is that the Defender Series comes with a built in screen protector.

depends on which phone you have the otterbox installed on. The defender series otter on the iphone 5 measures 2.75 inches so it will fit. just measure your phone

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.

Yes, it is a hard case. I have used those rubbery cases and they are useless. Also, those rigid, plasticy cases and they are junk. This one is firm, but feels good in your hand and also provides good protection for your iphone 5.

This one is thicker than Apple original one, it is very sturdy built cable. I don't have their Jumbo Defender, I can't tell.

Not on my case, which is the defender, Otterbox makes different style cases though so check them out and see, ie commuter case etc.

This specific case doesn't fit the iPhone 5, but there is an Otterbox available for that phone. I also have an Otterbox case on my iPhone 5 and it's great! I doesn't get dropped or abused as much as the kids' iPods, but it works perfectly.

no it doesnt have those things. it is like the otter box commuter. you are thinking of aomething more like the defender series. this is just a very very good every day case. its the best case ive bought and ive had both the defender amd commuter and i would take this case over them.

The one sold here is the old model. The one on their website is their newer model. The newer model is a bit stronger and allows a better fit with most phone cases. The older model is still pretty durable though and I love it! I believe the newer new models start shipping this month
