Are otter boxes a good iphone case?

Will they protect the screen from shattering?

They are probably the best you can get for protection, I don't like them though, they are very bulky and aethetically unappealing to me.

Yes, they are very protective and good cases and your iPhone won't shatter if you drop it, but the case is super bulky so if you are gonna be putting it in your pocket it might not fit, and the silicone outer part can rip a little, but basically it is a good case and it's sorta cute.

Yes, as long as you don't mind it being heavy and bulky. I had an Otterbox for my Blackberry and I got annoyed with how large and clunky it made my phone feel. I have an iPhone now and I wouldn't buy an Otterbox, mainly because my pockets are too small to have the extra bulk in them. A few of my coworkers use it for their iPhones and they love it.

It's not a guarantee that the screen won't shatter just from the fall, but it'll definitely provide extra protection from scratches.

  • Will Otter replace my Otter Box? Ok so on my iPhone 4 otterbox the rubber is breaking off, the hard part is breaking to pieces and the plastic screen is coming off. My mom sent pics to Otter online and I heard the will replace it. Will they?
  • Why do people buy EMPTY iphone boxes This is probably a really stupid question but why do i see so many ad for EMPTY iphone boxes? Do people actually buy them? And if they do, what benefit do they gain from an empty box!
  • Which protects the iphone 4 better: an otter box or case mate? I'm getting an iphone4. I have in the past had an iphone3 and used an otterbox defender. This time I'm wanting to get something a little more stylish. I NEED the protection tho! So I'm wondering if the case mate protects as well as an otterbox?
  • Which iphone 5 otter box case is better? The defender or the commuter. I'm torn between the two because I read that if dust get in the defender case the iphone 5 screen to get scratch. But the commuter doesn't have a built in screen Protector that protect the screen or logo.
