This case is really great. I work in construction and I was really worried about owning an iphone. This case took that fear away. The case is a little bulky, but I don't mind that.

The only thing is that there seems to be some sort of oil-slick looking spots on the screen. I did some research to find that many people have this problem. The suggested solution is to rub your hand on the inside of the screen protector before you attach the case. Supposedly the oils from your hand will prevent this oil-slick from occurring. I had little luck with this solution. It's not really a big deal. Just a little nuisance.

The product does wonderful job of what it is meant to do in terms of protecting the phone. However, for the price, it is disappointing that the belt clip isn't secure enough to keep the phone in place. I was really looking forward to using it at the gym, but I changed my mind fast when I found myself having to pick up the phone every time I leaned forward or even when I was simply going up the stairs. For spending a hefty price on a phone case, I find it to be a liability where the phone can one day end up in someone else's hands if I lose it and not even realize it. Great job of protecting the phone, but the company needs to work on the belt clip issue.

The actual phone case is great. Very rugged and easy to put together (especially if you watch the video on their website) and the phone works seamlessly. I used the case and holder for about 8 days. When I first began using it, the phone was very tight in the case and the only way to get it out was to follow the instructions. Now I can just touch the top of the phone and it literally falls out. Also, I beleive they state you can put the phone in the case facing outward (why you would do this I don't know) anyway you can't.

My wife was always tenuous with her iPhone for fear she'd break it, and sure enough, one day it happened. We went to the Apple Store for a replacement and asked the guy for a case recommendation. He said "Otterbox" without a second's hesitation, so we ordered it from Amazon.

This thing is SOLID. Now my wife uses her iPhone the way it's meant to be used. I wish we'd bought one of these when she got her iPhone in the first place...

Love the product! It was a little bulkier than I thought it would be but it's great and really protects my investment!
