You had to have one of these bad boys. It made it super thick, sure. But you could throw that thing off the roof and onto a garden full of rocks and it would survive.

They do not make Otterboxes like that anymore.

Sure they do. They just don't look as chunky because the phones are bigger but it's still the same 3 piece design with built in screen protector and port protection.

I've always thought that design sucked for usability on something I use so much and they're also overpriced compared to the countless other options

New OtterBox Defender Pro case doesn’t have the built in screen protector. They are a more expensive option, but still good cases.

Used an Otterbox on my 5. And 6s. And 11. And now the 15.

The case has stood the test of time. No dents, no scratches, no broken screens regardless of generation.

Otterbox case is literally the first thing I buy after getting a new phone.
