Is this case as good as the Otterbox Defender?

[Blues Fan]

I've seen these before. Apparently made in China they're basically Defender knockoffs but look to the exact as a Otterbox except for the stupid belt clip which hardly anyone uses. Anyone try these before? It looks like they're either made in the same factory as the Defender or an exact clone. Everything looks the same as my Defender for S7. Worth trying to see if the screen protector is better than the Defender?

That's just a cheap china knockoff of the Defender and I'm almost 100% sure that it will be way lower quality than the original Defender.

You mind as well try the "LoveMei" case with Gorrila Glass protector while you are at it.

A few months back someone at work I saw a customer with one of these knock off versions of the Defender on their Iphone 6s plus and it looked identical to a real Defender and they only paid 15 bucks on Amazon they told me.

I ordered one a few days ago from Amazon along with a cheap tempered glass screen protector that will be here tomorrow. J. Williams has the Note 5 one and it is very similar he claims to Otterbox. A customer at my work a few months ago had one on their Iphone 6plus and said it was the same as Otterbox. I figured if the screen protector is crappy on this then I'll just rip it out and used the tempered glass on it that way I don't ruin my otterbox.

Update on the case. The material is very similar to the Defender. Also the inner shell has a tighter fit so it doesn't creak, and the protector is a lot better than the Otterbox. It fits a lot tighter to the screen and is more responsive. For the negatives the port covers are a bit more flimsy and they're hard to push in as they're cut slightly wide so you have to use some force and the shell the edges are a bit rougher, sharper than the defender because not quite as precise.

Overall for $17 it's a very good case otherwise. Personally I will probably go back to my Defender but this is a good case for the price and if you don't want to pay otterbox prices I say go for it.

I don't get it how all these generic companies like Supcase, generic otterbox cases all have screen protectors that fit more flush and are more responsive and Otterbox has a garbage screen protector despite costing more.

Had one when I was on the dark side (iphone) the rubber outer shell is a lot harder and more rigid than OB

Some of us do use belt clips and think carrying a phone in pocket is juvenile.

No. It's estrogen laden plastics from China.
