My iPhone 5 gets very hot in my otterbox defender case?

Is it just me or does every-time i put my iPhone 5 into a otter box, it gets really hot. All my other cases don't do this but this one it does. Is it just me?

No Otter Boxes are just fat and dense with protection and keeps the heat in.

Otterboxes don't have much room to vent (like most cases) but the only difference is Otterboxes are a particularly thick case. If you want your iPhone to not become super hot then switch to a thinner medium protection case such as Speck, etc.

Change your case and see the difference for yourself.

  • Why do I do this? I'm very very very tired yet I don't want to sleep? I want to sleep because I'm practically blinking and bobbing my head side to side like a drunken man but I just don't want to sleep. I watch tv or go on Facebook or play on my iPhone. And I'm starting to get dark circles. And as a guy I don't wear. Concealer or whatever
  • 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 the mophie iphone 4s juice pack air or and otterbox defender case? I can't get the Otterbox iON case because it costs a lot but should I get the mophie case or the otterbox defender. I don't really have use for a otterbox because I never drop my phone. I'm leaning towards the mophie, but i want to know how durable the case is as well as the battery. Thanks in advance! Hey sry about the mishap. Didn't mean to post it at the Travel section.
  • My iPhone 4 won't charge and gets very hot? I've had my iPhone 4 for about 2 years, but recently since I went abroad its been having troubles. It won't charge longer than about 40%, but then it looses charge really quickly. It also heats up allot on the back of the phone, and the torch used to be constantly on dimly but that's stopped now. What is the problem and how is it fixed? , thank you
