Disclosure: I was sent the following cases for review – all opinions are 100% my own.
Hey there! Today we’re going to talk phone cases – because when you have a toddler that loves to use your phone you’ve got to have something tough! We have a few apps downloaded onto my phone specifically for Wyatt. These are great to have in case of an emergency – you know, when your kid is screaming and you just need to check-out at the store with your cart full of groceries because, well… you need to eat! Just an example… ๐
Since I got my iPhone last year I’ve always wanted to try Otterbox cases. I had heard that they’re the best for moms, or anyone who has their phone dropped on a regular basis (which I do).
Both cases I got are from the Defender Series – I chose the 4s Defender Series Camo and the Defender Series Graphic case to put to the test. When I opened the cases I couldn’t believe how many layers of protection there were – three! It has a high-impact shell, a silicone slipcover and a built-in screen protector! It protects from liquid drops, dust, damage, and pretty much everything else you’ll come across on a daily basis.
We have dropped the phone, it’s gotten wet from the sprinkler outside and it has been touched and used by sticky toddler fingers. It’s so easy to wipe clean when anything gets on it and I love that it is protected from being scratched or damaged. Otterboxes are definitely a bit on the pricey side but I really believe that they’re worth it!
I’ve seen (and used) other phone cases – the plastic ones that just snap onto the back. That’s not going to do anything to protect your phone when you drop it and I’ve heard the horror stories of people dropping and shattering their screens. EEE.
After trying out these two cases I have to say I’m completely sold on Otterbox – they’re definitely the best phone case I’ve ever used! And there are so many designs that I want to try in the Defender Series like the Sublime and Perennial.
What phone case do you use?
What features do you look for when purchasing?
We bought our daughter an Otterbox for her phone. We are so impressed with the quality of them! And they come in great colors and designs too!
I thought the same thing! The designs are so different than other phone cases! ๐
I actually used an MGram case for my iPhone. Their cases are similar to Otterboxes, but prettier! My hubby has an Otterbox, though. We’re big droppers LOL
Oh, tell me about it! My phone gets dropped ALL the time!!
I don’t have a phone that needs a case but if I did I would look for one that could handle a cat swiping it off a table onto a floor–or taking it into her paws and bunny kicking it!
Lol! I’ve got two cats so I know exactly what you’re talking about! The good old “swipe” lol ๐
I have three droppers so I will be looking into this for my phone! I love the color!
Thanks Jenn! You won’t regret it – these babies are built to last!
I’m still looking for that perfect phone case this one sounds lovely.
They really are great – I love them! Thanks for stopping by!
My now 21-yr old son says Otterbox is the best too. He’s been a fan for years now and his friends are too.
I’m a total Otterbox newbie but I just can’t see using anything else on my phone from here on out!
I want one of these so badly!! They are incredible – I have only heard good things about them!
I can’t believe how durable they are – and I was shocked when my phone got sprayed with the sprinkler and still was fine!
I have a cheapo case for my galaxy note2.
I’ve always used cheapo cases too – but I figured I could save on phone insurance by protecting this one! Cause that stuff is expensive!
