OtterBox iPhone 14 Pro Max (ONLY) Defender Series XT Case - Black, Screenless, Rugged, Snaps to MagSafe, Lanyard Attachment

Otterbox has given me nothing but peace of mind! Peace of mind that my investment in my phone is well protected! I have always had the Defenders series for all my phones going all the way back to the Iphone 4 and will never buy any other case! They are pricey no doubt (nice discount here on Amazon) but I have happily payed full price in the past because what you get is a solid product figuratively and literally that also feels good in your hand! The Defenders series does add a some heft and weight so of you don’t like a heavy phone Defenders series may not be for you. I prefer that weight because in my daily quick paced life I have less chance of dropping it when on the go. Now I have dropped my phone many times but with the case and the screen protector I bought to go along with it. (SP not included with the case) my phone has come out unscathed every time! This is however my first time experiencing the Mag Safe version of the Defenders case. I was concerned that rubber on the sides and not covering the back would by a trade off in protection for the mag safe feature. Also This version of the Case does not include the holster that comes with the full Defender’s version that is without the mag safe compatibility. I was also concerned that the plastic shell would be flimsy like the plastic shell is for the full Defenders. The full case the rubber is where the true protection is over the shell so the plastic shell is not that strong. But this is where Otterbox’s genius comes into play! The Mag Safe case has a much sturdier plastic shell then its non mag safe counterpart which means Mag Safe version did not sacrifice protection for the sake of the Mag Safe feature! Mag Safe still has the weight and heft to it but is more streamlined and slim. This is still a case that won’t stop your heart the next time you drop your phone! One last note I previously mentioned that this case does not come with the holster that was cool because the holster is no more than $16 but and this is seriously why I love Otterbox the case came with documentation on how to get the holster for up to one year after purchase free of charge just pay for shipping! That was unexpected and a great way to show us the customer that we are valued as customers. Or at least that is what I take from it. All in all Otterbox redesigned their most rugged case without sacrificing protection and it is just as great as it has been for all my previous phones! If you are reading this sentence you’re awesome! Thanks for reading my review!

My wife loves it. Works great and attractive. I wish I bought this one for myself and I'm jealous. Magsafe works great, very strong attachment.

I'm about to upgrade my 3 year old iPhone 14 Pro Max and am hoping this case is available for my new phone. This case has been nothing short of phenomenal. I always get non-black phones and cases for higher visibility (who wants to quietly misplace $1200 all black devices) so the clear back to show the silver case is a plus. The rubber outer ring is textured for grip but not so bulky it doesn't fit in my pocket. Magsafe case works without issue and honestly, I love the lanyard because I grab it all the time to haul the phone out of my cargo pockets. This phone is my primary work tool and is used hard for outdoor rooftop inspections - yes, it has been dropped and there's even some small cracks in the case, but my phone is protected and undamaged for almost 3 years. Amazing. I love this case.

I would definitely buy another really nice case

This case is fantastic during daily use. It’s got the high build quality that I’ve come to expect from Otterbox. It’s nice to be able to have the benefits of the defender while still being able to use magsafe. I highly recommend it just for the experience of actually using the case, but I do have to knock a star off the review for a couple of nagging issues. The silent switch does not have a cover flap like the standard defender, so dust accumulates rather quickly there. Additionally, it can be difficult to get to if you have large fingers or short fingernails. It’s easy enough to get used to but it might turn off some people. Installation is a real test of patience. The installation video is very misleading. So if you’re someone who likes to switch cases or take it out frequently to clean or whatever, then you’re gonna have a bad time. Lastly, there is no included belt clip. That was fine last year when they included a voucher you could redeem for a free one on their website, but they don’t offer that anymore. So if you want a belt clip, you have to spend $15 or maybe look to see if Encased makes one. Ridiculous that the cheaper defender cases come with it and this more premium version does not. UPDATE: After removing the case a couple times to put on a screen protector and try out a different case, install has gotten noticeably easier. I would imagine the material is so stiff when new so as to allow for the case to get broken in without stretching. I’m not missing the belt clip too badly, but the silent switch is still really annoying.

Its not a cheap material. Its lasting and protects VERY well, better than any case I've ever had. Im not getting another case unless it’s this kind of case! Its comfortable (a bit heavy but that’s my preference!!!) amazing grip and honestly would recommend to anyone who works in hard jobs or just wants a thick case that feels good and makes your phone look bigger and stronger. Its a very modern (simple) design so it doesn’t distract you as much. Keeps you focused on what you are doing on your phone. Beautiful and well designed. Only thing is the installation (its not as easy as other case installations but once you get it done, you never need to take it off again! (Unless for some random reason). I like it keeps my charger port safe. Theres so much I can still say about it but overall it’s my favorite case! Hope you like the review and most of all the new phone case experience!!!

Seems to be very well-made I did not put a protective cover on my screen and it seems to be doing very well. I have dropped it many times my reason for not using the protective cover is because after a few falls, most of them start cracking and it makes it look like your phone is Chipped or broken. It looks horrible plus in most cases. The screen protectors are very expensive. This is a good protector already.

thanks. it was litle bit hard install, but case exact match to iPhone

Otterbox Defender cases are the best. Been using since before 2010

Quality was ok (prima) but unfortunately I did not receive any lanyard attachment :)

Very good cover with option to attach Hand wristbands to keep it safe from falling

Bought this to use with my bike quad lock phone attachment. It feels super strong and durable when my phone is inside without it being overly big. My phone fitted perfectly. The cord handle is also useful especially when I take it off my bike and I have my hands full. My partner also bought one for his phone as he was so impressed with it.

Kept my phone for 2 years through lots of drops in mint condition, good quality, a little thick but very grippy
