Otterbox - Damaged

One of these screws will not come out. I wanted to put my gold screws in three came out easy but one I tried to get it out for 20 minutes, but it will not come out.

I am very dissatisfied. I can see where its a round circle where the screw is.

Otterbox - Defective box

Bottom of the case has split and the protective flap has broken off, causing dust and dirt to accumulate and will not charge properly. I am very disappointed as this case is a replacement for my original case which was the model that was MUCH BEEFIER WITH EXTRA CORNER PROTECTION. I contacted you before with no avail This for I phone 13

A piece broke off. So the phone does not stay reliably in my clip. It tends to fall out and hit the ground.

Bad phone case, was sent wrong replacement

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

When I finally got a ship date on my replacement case for my iPhone, I realized it was the wrong case! I immediately reached out through email with the company trying to intercept the shipment and get the right case sent. As of today, I still have not heard anything, and as luck would have it the wrong case showed up at my house.

I have three OtterBox phone cases for iPhone 7 that need replaced

I have three OtterBox phone cases for iPhone 7 that need replaced

Plastic lens is cracked, and the rubber around it wore out, and the clip for your belt is broken. I could have three cases with the lines on it and one smooth one. It was actually four cases because I had to buy a new one.

Pros:
  • Other boxes work great they last a long time and the warranty is great
Cons:
  • Plastic lens scratches too easy

Preferred solution: 3 new cases

Because I have not been able to get anything done through a text message

Otterbox - Because I have not been able to get anything done through a text message

I have been trying to get a replacement for my OtterBox. I have sent a picture and told them where I purchased it.

This was all done on September 9, and I have not got any word back from you guys.

I would like to get a replacement because my husband carries it on a clip, and that one part is broken where you clip the phone to it. Thank you.

  • Is taking forever to get a replacement

You didn’t sent the holster for the iPhone 16 Pro along with the defender case

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

First you sent me a case and holster for the OtterBox 16 Pro max instead of the OtterBox 16 Pro. After I called you back you said we made a mistake and we will send you the correct OtterBox. Then you sent only the OtterBox case for the 16 Pro
