IPhone 6s Plus in Otterbox Defender shattered?

Today at school, I got my phone out of my purse to check my text messages. This was at lunch and we re allowed to have phones out. Well, someone bumped into me and I dropped my phone. It landed on the screen part. It completely shattered the screen! Is this common? Can you suggest another type of case to get?

The same thing may have happened with ANY case. All a case does is REDUCE the chances of glass breaking on your phone. A good side jolt will break a screen easier with NO case, than it will with a case on the phone, and each time you drop your phone, with or without a case, you run the risk of the screen shattering. And those face plant type falls, if it's on a hard surface like tile or concrete, case or no case, it will only stand so many such jolts, even with a case and tempered glass.

No case is going to completely protect your phone in every possible situation. There are some cases that are like a portfolio with a flap that folds and covers the screen when you aren't using the phone. Of course, if you drop the phone with the flap open, same problem.

  • Should I get the Otterbox Defender series case for my iPhone 4? I really like the look of the defender series case, and I like all of the security it provides. So the big question: should I get it? Is it extremely bulky? Does the plastic casing part scratch the phone? Why do you like and dislike?
  • Should i get an otterbox defender for iphone 5? I rarely drop my phone. But i was wondering if i should get one. I don't want it to be to bulky or anything.
  • Otterbox defender for iPhone 5? Does anyone have this case for their iPhone 5? I want to get it, but I don't like the idea of the built in screen protector. I heard it has air bubbles and makes the screen a tad bit blurry, but I wanted to know your opinion. Should I take it out and put a ZAGG on my iPhone instead?
