i bought a fake knockoff defender pro let's
see how it holds up against the original otterbox defender pro
so yeah i bought a fake defender pro i spent like 65 on the original outer box that i unboxed
already i'll put the link in the description and uh i love it it's a great case it's
got plenty of protection it's got some utility with the holster but i thought to myself i wonder
if good old amazon could uh give this case a run for its money with a cheaper knockoff and this
came in the mail for 15.99 i'll put a link to this in the video description below i have not
opened this yet i'm pretty excited to check this out i'm actually super excited to check this out
so one of the things i was kind of surprised about is that it comes with
a screen protector apparently this is not the screen protector i don't know what this is bonus
okay so this is like a an inner ring it says bonus if i'm cracked during shipping use this one
so right away not inspiring as far as quality goes
oh i put a sticker on there let's check that out okay let's get rid of the garbage right away um
it definitely
there's feels lot of play in the belt clip whereas there's no play in this belt clip
if you've had an otterbox before you know that this thing has super tight tolerances
um yeah that's really really easy to push that spring and this one's got some beef too
it's kind of hard to press that thing let's see if it does the the lock thing it does
you can hear just from that click alone that this has got a little bit more snap to it
i'm not hating i'm not hating it's just obvious
you know you pay you get what you pay for right all right so let's check out the
holsters i'm not gonna get into any of this stuff yet so this holster feels pretty similar
let's just look at the holsters for a sec here get all this out of the way
wow they're very very similar even um
these little squares down bottom are the same where my thumbs are not sure what those
before probably just part of the mold process even the okay it's pretty similar i wonder if the
otterbox will go into this thing oh it does clearly they uh took some inspiration
from the defender for making this case but i'm not knocking it yet i'm not hating on it
so let's get into it i'm not going to uh start off with the otterbox i'll put one of those little
pop-up things up here to get to this unboxing i'm not gonna go over this yet let's take a
look at this thing with some more detail so what do you get in the box okay wow the instructions
are actually pretty good pretty detailed on how to take it out that's pretty much why i put one
in these instructions are pretty legit i don't remember getting any instructions like this in
the otterbox okay so point to them for that let's see we got here so this is the screen protector
okay it's pretty cool it says uh if i'm cracking shipping
don't be disappointed just contact us via amazon message we'll arrange a new replacement
to you asap thank you for choosing all case allocation okay it's not 100 sure to say that but
what do we got here okay so this is for the screen protector i'm not going to use this i
already have a screen protector but it's kind of cool that it came with one now i have a backup
um if someone just handed this to me and said hey check out this other box case i'd be like wow that
is an otterbox case for 16 bucks this is an outer box case
i would never know this feels just like an otterbox case
okay so if you've been here before you know that i'm kind of an otterbox freak i have
pretty much all their cases
this is blowing my mind right now
okay
so that is definitely not as quality i feel right there putting that back on
has the auto box but it also does help if you put it on the right direction
okay not knocking it yet not knocking it yet so it's got the same inner shell type design
the two-fold approach to protectioning at the outside
softer rubber and the inside durable plastic let's put it on
the bottom notch for the charging port is still just as annoying as the other box and
that my friends is an exact duplicate of the otterbox defender i cannot believe it
so they give you another one of these
what's the difference here i wonder if this is for putting on the screen protector
top yep that's what it is this is for putting the screen protector on so i'm guessing there's
no real instructions for the screen protector oh yes there are okay didn't see that down bottom
so yeah it even comes with instructions for the screen protector this is the frame to
install the screen protector pretty sick for uh 16 bucks 15.99 definitely keep that around
so far the only thing i don't like is this clip the belt but for 16 bucks gets the job done
i'd say if you're looking for a cheaper alternative
this is it this is where you're at the um
case feels great blown away
so let's go a little slower now check out all the design features here so
on the left is the original this is the knock off um the button's a little beat up on this one
for the volume up but they're clicky just like the real outer box it's got the same exact notches
to accommodate the holster the ports down bottom are literally exactly the same
even has the same design cues with the lines around the edge
okay going to the other side now the power buttons
are exactly the same has that same notch to accommodate for the holster
and again if you didn't see it so this is the cheaper holster this is the otterbox holster
so it's a little bit looser the dimensions are not the same um
but it works i mean
oh it kind of fell out there at the end
so i bet you this one feels a little smaller this case feels
a little bit tinier i bet you this will work perfectly in their holster
it's a little tighter it's a little bit tighter okay so not that that really
means anything because i don't think anybody's gonna be buying this to swap the holsters around
so yeah the um
i'm actually surprised i like the the color of the knockoff better
the backs feel very similar this one obviously has like a texture
to it but this one's kind of like ghost mode no branding no lines i
kind of like this better yeah so if you're looking for a cheap version of the otterbox defender pro
this is it man it doesn't get any closer than that um i'd say they're about the same thickness
not much different if at all the weight of them is very very similar
there's almost nothing different about them except the design in the back
the mute rocker actually feels easier to open
listen before people get upset i'm not saying i would probably buy this
over an otterbox i'd probably still buy the otterbox myself but if you're looking
for something that you're just going to beat up anyway and you don't care about
this is uh probably your option yeah so i don't know let me know what you think
this is pretty crazy i've never purchased a case like this before normally i'm buying
super crazy expensive cases but it's kind of hard to argue with the price point here so thanks for
stopping by and checking out these cases with me today uh curious which one would you get if you
didn't have a defender would you buy the fake one or the real one let me know in the comments below
i definitely appreciate you stopping by today if you liked the video hit that thumbs up button
if not the thumbs down works as well and as always i'd appreciate the subscription peace
you
