Love the Defender Pro XT. I agree, it was hard installing, but I removed and reinstalled 3x and it’s easy now. I actually love the protection. Thinking it’s the best OtterBox case on the market. Thx for your in-depth review!

I went with the Symmetry+. I’ve always gone with the Defender but chose to go a little slim this time. Boy was that a mistake. The case is really slippery. It has no grip and it is a lint magnet. After a month I just couldn’t with it anymore. I went and go the Defender Pro. That is definitely better but I’ll be honest I don’t feel like the protect my phone like they use to. I guess I’m just used to The bulky case of old.

For the XT use a bic pen cap as a guide to get the outer to fit. It’s like changing a bike tire lol.

I've watched countless iPhone 14 case video reviews. The one thing that is most important (and very seldom mentioned) is the front screen protection. Without at least 1.5mm front lip to protect the front screen the rest of the case is near useless.

The commuter with MagSafe would be the ideal case but it might kill their other products if they produced it.

Would nice if the had a clear back to show the color of the phone since I got the deep purple

[Skeezitts]

I wish Canada sold the defender pro I like the style and look

[steveng]

I actually got the defender pro xt. I’m actually happy with the case and got the belt clip with it. I didn’t like the bezel part at first, but learned to deal with it!!

Great video! Quick question, how is the watch mirroring your phone recording? Is this an Apple Watch ultra exclusive?

[withoutpassid]

I ended up buying the commuter one. Thank you very much for the excellent review. Do you plan to review screen protector for iphone too?

[Al-xczj]

Commuter with MagSafe would be awesome

I've had the commuter case since the iphone 12 pro max was released. I'm upgrading to the iphone 15 pro max and I have decided on the Defender XT case. It bums me out that you said that's your last choice because it puts doubt into my mind. I've enjoyed the commuter all these years but I wanted something new. I really like the look of the Defender XT. I never switch my cases out until I upgrade my phone so I won't have to be changing cases at all. You did say if that was the case for you, you WOULD pick the Defender XT. So that kind of makes me feel better.

xt is the only good case here. only one thats dustproof and will preserve your stainless steel edges. its easy to install, leave case as is and just push your phone in like any normal case. I've done it over 20 times no damage. symmetry case is garbage, no rubber on the back means flat drops smash your back glass thanks to the camera bump. XT is the only case I'll go for from otter box. defender pro isn't dust proof and the dirt that gets in just blemishes your stainless steel beyond your imagination. commuter...garbage, hate cases with flimsy sides around the home and volume buttons = dirt in-between phone and case

I wish they woudl have still had an option with the built in screen protector in the Defender series. Bummer.

[Plumbbrookpines]

I hate the fact I have to watch this garbage to take a case off my phone we live in hell

[kevinwhiting]

Mine was 17 on A cuz was for v 60 great case..little mpre protection than spigen rugged armor

[qmnwvds]

Excellent review. Just got the PRO XT. What's missing in all these case reviews is no one does a drop test! The glass back of my iPhone 12 pro max cracked, even under a case like these. So I stepped up the the top protection, let's hope it works!

[J.R.G.]

there's a more affordable and colorful option to the Otterbox Commuter, it's the Poetic Neon case, I just ordered it to see how it is and try it out

[OGYouTubeEnjoyer]

I have a symmetry on my 11 I have been using for over 3 years now and despite dropping my phone so many times there is like one small scratch on it. Looks pretty much brand new

[dondontorres]

I got myself the Otterbox Commuter Series for Apple iPhone 14 Pro. Very good grippy material, feels secure protection for my phone. Thanks for sharing!
