Looking For An Otterbox Case: Here's A Simple Outline

By Cecilie Blaber


Otterbox is a respected manufacturer of protective cases. The brand, whose name means "top-notch quality" was created in 1998 and deals with custom protective cases for gadgets such as smart phones. Its products are categorized in four series, namely defender, reflex, commuter and impact. All these are tailored towards individuals who value their gadgets and can fit devices from most cellphone manufacturers, distributors and wireless carriers.

Otterbox Impact

This is the simplest and cheapest item offered by the brand. The case is made of soft silicon material and has a suave grip. The edges and back are well protected, along with the camera, volume and power buttons.

Along with its cheap price, the soft silicone may not be enough for heavy situations or just crammed bags. No protection for charging port, headphone jack and rear camera.

The retail price for the Impact Series ranges between $7 and $24.

Otterbox Commuter series.

This slim but tough case is made by a combination of a polycarbonate shell that is uniquely molded and a rugged silicon cover that offers added protection against bumps, scratches and shock. It has a smooth finish that makes it easy to slide in and out of pockets. It therefore offers a better fit as compared to its cheaper counterpart, the Impact.

There's still no protection for rear camera, headphone jack and 2D/3D button.

Price ranges from 12$-71$.

Otterbox Reflex Series.

This is a lightweight, compact case that incorporates unique technology. It offers adequate protection against drops and includes a rubberized reflex area that recoils upon impact to spring back to the initial form. With its unique combination of form and function, the Reflex can be regarded as the most stylish option.

Since it is split into two (top half and bottom half) which is not quite secure together at the back, sometimes the top half would slip off.

Price ranges from $19-$69.

Otterbox Defender Series

The Defender Series is the most unstoppable when it comes to all-around protection for your device. The case is made with a high-impact polycarbonate shell and durable silicone. All ports and buttons are protected - camera, volume, power, 2D/3D buttons, charging port, headset jack and rear camera! It also comes with a built-in screen protector, which snaps on but doesn't interfere with screen interaction unlike those with Impact and Commuter. It's a bullet-proof case which leaves only water capable of damaging your device. If you can destroy your phone with the defender on, I'll be very impressed!

Due to its extreme protection, the Defender is thick and heavy, especially with the holster shell on. Snapping it on right takes time and the price might break the bank.

This item goes for prices ranging between $18 to $89.

CONCLUSION:

The Defender series is the ultimate choice for those seeking maximum protection for their device. Most average users will avoid it due to its size, weight and price. The Commuter Series would form an option for such users due to its style. It is also sufficient to shield against the most common falls.
