what's up everybody today we're going to be taking
a look at the otterbox defender pro series let's check it out
so you've probably seen these cases before this is the Otterbox defender series pro
This is their thick bad boy case, this thing has two layers. You have a soft outside layer and
a hard shell on the inside and a carrying case as well we're going to open it up in a second
I know in their other cases they say 3x tested so like a symmetry case
so I guess this is 3x higher than the military standard and this one's four
times higher than the military standard i'm guessing but uh all I know is that it's
much thicker and I like to use these when I go hiking or if I want to be out working in the yard
or if there's any kind of risk of me dropping my phone so let's get into it check it out
(The packaging is fighting me)
all right so let's set the case aside for a second what do we got here so it basically
shows you how to install it i want you to take the hard shell the plastic off the hard shell
kind of separate it all and then lay the phone in there and it shows you how to use the case as well.
The carrying case so for those of you that haven't seen these before they come with a carrying case
pretty cheesy but they're very effective especially like mowing the lawn or something
and if you're at work you can take it and pull it a little bit past and it'll stand on your
desk like that as well it might go the other way but i don't know if it'll actually yeah
it's not gonna actually give you anything so this rotates and you can put the the phone up
by your desktop watch your netflix or whatever and then to release it just click that bad boy
so right away you can definitely tell that this case is not
like your ordinary thin case um it's got cushiony material on the inside um surprisingly not no lip
around the edge but that's probably because it is deeper so you probably don't need the lip to come
off it like you do with like the symmetry cases so this is the symmetry case it has a lip here
but i think that's simply just because it's deeper but we'll see in a minute uh you get your speaker
grille cutouts the charging port protection i usually clip these right off i got like a scissor
or something to clip it off just because i don't like messing with it but um same thing for your
mute rocker up top volume up and down this little notch here aligns with the top of
the belt clip so that's how it actually holds on to the phone same thing on the other side
and you have your lock button as well so let's check it out
what i'm surprised about is it actually seems quite a bit smaller
than my other autobox cases actually it's not that much thicker than the symmetry case
you know it's definitely thicker but it's not obscene some of the old outer box cases were nuts
but let's take off the outside so this is it's going to give you most of your protection
you can see it has the nubs in there to reach in and push the buttons
both sides so they took the precaution to make sure they're protecting everything and
it's kind of neat it's not just cutouts down here there's actual like tubes to guide the sound out
so they're actually thinking about your audio experience too which is kind of neat
this is pretty cool so what they have here if you have if you haven't used one of these before
there's little clips all around it that separates out take your your phone and drop it in
snap all your edges right away that feels pretty solid make sure everything's clipped
push everything on there's like a little lip around the hole outside you can see it's not
on right there i just kind of work it around you can feel like clicking into place there's a track
under there apparently you're all done actually it feels pretty nice it's not too much bulk it's
definitely heftier than a naked iphone or like the pataka case or even the symmetry case but it's not
that much beefier you know if you're already carrying this it's not a big change to that but
if you're coming from like an aramid case like a pataki case or something that's going to be
very different for you right away I like it feels premium texture is nice
i don't know how much i'm gonna use this carrying case but it does fit good
and you can take it take the phone and put it the other way like I said before so if you want to
watch a little tv or whatnot you can do that but
not sure how often i'm using that so overall i definitely like the case so far um
like i said i usually cut these off my otter boxes just because i don't like having to mess with
that when i'm in the car but that's actually not too bad it's i might keep it on there we'll see
so definitely recommend it if you're outdoors avid person
and you find yourself in a position frequently where you might drop the phone
this is definitely a case for you so this this case takes the opposite approach as the
symmetry one so the symmetry one obviously has a lip like i talked about before and because of
the thickness of the phone they don't have to worry about that so when you put the phone down
no rocking, pretty awesome
i like it definitely recommend it thanks for stopping by i appreciate you checking out the
