What does retail packaging mean on amazon for the otterbox defender?

I'm going to order a otterbox defender for my iphone but it says retail packaging does that mean it could be fake?

It does not mean it's fake, however if your not ordering directly from the manufacturer… It could be.

No, that just means it is packaged for hanging on a peg or placing on a shelf in a retail operation, as opposed to minimal packing that would be more economical for shipping in bulk. If you need one Otterbox, then you want the retail packaging, if you need 50 to outfit your entire office, then you don't want the bulk & mess of 50 retail packages. Good question.

  • 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?

  • Otterbox (Defender) or Lifeproof? I need a knew case for my Iphone 4 and I currently have an Otterbox Defender Case and I really like it. But I'm not sure which case/brand is better. I heard Lifeproof cases are awesome, but they are alittle more expensive than the otterboxes. Which should I get and why? What are the pros and cons of the Lifeproof cases and Otterbox cases?
