The bad reviews were right...
I have an Otterbox Defender on my Galaxy S4 and I love it. Everyone I know who has any sort of smart phone loves their Otterbox case for it. Well I guess things have changed. I guess the bean counters at Otterbox decided to squeeze a few more pennies out of this one. The result is a total failure. This case is pathetic, especially at the prices the Otterbox cases go for. My wife got the iphone 5c and we couldn't wait to put an otterbox case on it. We were waiting for otterbox to come out with the color models but that didn't look like it was going to happen any time soon, so we ordered this black one from amazon. There were a few bad reviews when I ordered but I decided to take a chance anyway. Big mistake. I should have listened to the initial bad reviews because this case is pathetic. The plastic is much thinner than any other otterbox I've ever seen. But we might could have lived with that. The biggest problem is the screen protector. It's so far off the screen you have to press it down with force to get your touch to register. It's so noticeable that we both agreed within seconds that the case has to be returned. I can only hope now that Otterbox feels the pain financially of trying to abuse their good name to make more money by cheaping out on this one. All to common with today's companies unfortunately. I don't know if I will ever even look at Otterbox for my phones after this.
