Case defective cracked broke my phones camera

Otterbox - Case defective cracked broke my phones camera
Otterbox - Case defective cracked broke my phones camera - Image 2

The case of poor quality started separating from itself the MagSafe, charging part of the case fell apart. My phones camera was cracked and destroyed its functionality from a mild drop from my car to the ground outside.

Definitely not of the high standard you would expect from my company who charges $70 for a phone case you would think that it would hold up at least as much as cheap generic versions that are more durable quality. I went with the OtterBox brand due to quality of the cases that Ive had with them before, but that quality has decimated no stuck with a broken phone that wouldve not broken had it been in a different case not to mention the case itself is completely faulty and falling apart

User's recommendation: Use caution when spending Your hundred dollars on a case of higher cost expecting it to held to a certain build quality in standard. It appears that they’re going cheaper on the durability of the cases they make as opposed to in earlier years, not worth the money.

Return

Otterbox - Return

Ordered a new clamp for my OtterBox on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. They sent this little teeny clip wrong one Ive never seen a phone that small and probably a decade.

Do they even look at the order when they shipped them?

I tried the order number online and it said it didnt exist and its printed right on the envelope. It was mailed promptly 2 1/2 weeks after I ordered it and wrong

If my phone drops in the back spiderweb cracks do you replace my phone?

My phone dropped and the back shattered, and how am I supposed to take a picture of my own phone? I can't do that.

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. Working with customer service. Easy and fast all was taken care of.

My Otterbox case has ripped where you click the phone in the saddle. It is an iPhone 13.

Is there any warranty for this situation? Please advise.

No OtterBox doesn’t provide you a clip with your phone case that that’s extra I guess so you can’t go out and buy your damn phone case and have a clip and be ready to go. You have to wait for them to

I bought a new phone. I need a new iPhone defender case, and they don’t sell it with the clip.

You have to call in supposedly to get a *** belt clip so you can carry your phone around with you.

This is ridiculous. Stupid ***

Horrible product quality. Horrible customer service. No real people.

Have been loyal to Otterbox forever. 18 months ago, bought a purple Defender case and it looked "dirty" after 2 weeks.

As it got worse, I tried everything to clean it with no results. So...I replaced it with a raspberry Defender. Same thing happened, so I Googled, only to find this is a common issue. They cases are actually black, and painted over crappily, and black shoes through quickly.

At 3 months, my case looks completely filthy. I have tried EVERYTHING to reach these people. Personal emails to execs. 2 online form submissions.

Countless hours on the phone with no answer.

Chose twice the callback option, and no one ever called. ABSOLUTE ***

Customer Service is HORRIBLE

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

You wait for an hour to reach a human. Get disconnected.

Wait another hour and they don't solve the problem.

The will not provide a phone number for the corporate office or contact information. The only positive about their customer service is it is based in the US and you can understand the call center staff BUT they still do nothing for you!

Updated by user Jan 17, 2025

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. I was assisted with purchasing the correct OtterBox that was a defender and mag safe for my phone. I was also issued a return for the incorrect OtterBox purchased and given a full refund.

Original review Dec 31, 2024

I contacted OtterBox online help before ordering a case for my phone. I was assured it would do what I wanted.

It doesnt. I want to speak to someone that knows how to help me get what I need.
