The Bottom Line Otterbox cases are not exactly the cheapest on the market — a quick look on Amazon will tell you that much. However, if you really want to make your phone last, the Otterbox is worth the money. Otterbox cases are some of the best, safest phone cases on the market.

Through extensive testing by our engineers and consumer feedback, we were able to determine that the brilliant displays on newer devices actually function better without a built-in screen protector, so we've opted to remove that piece to provide a better experience.
