OtterBox Defender Series SCREENLESS Case Case for Google Pixel 4 - Black

With my last phone I didn't bother getting a case. Like a lot of people I'd never needed one and all my phones had survived until upgrade. Then, six months into owning it I dropped it on concrete and that's all she wrote for the screen. So I had to limp by until my next upgrade with a screen that was a wreck.When I got my Pixel 4 I had no intentions of risking that kind of thing again.Obviously I got this Otterbox Defender and I've been really impressed overall. It's turned my phone into a tank, I've dropped it once and it sounded like dropping a brick but the phone was fine. There's a raised rim that protects the screen but I'd still suggest getting one of the nice glass screen protectors just in case. My only real complaint is that I really have to squeeze the crap out of it to use the power/volume buttons. It's a small complaint so I didn't dock them any stars because it hasn't really impacted functionality.If you're the type who tucks their phone into front pockets, this case isn't going to work well for you. Larger pockets will work but the bulk of the case will thwart anything small. On the plus side, the Pixel 4 was really quite slippery and the Otterbox has a nice grip to it.

I am hard on my phone, so I require a tough case. I always buy cases that claim durability, but most of the time the case breaks within a few months, so I have to look for a better case. Or it doesn't actually protect my phone and I end up having to buy a new phone as well as a new case.18 months ago, someone told me to try OtterBox cases. So, I found this case and was immediately impressed when I put it on my phone. You can feel the quality of the materials used.So, how did it do? Well, it took a year and a half for me to crack the hard case enough that I felt like it needed to be replaced, though the outer rubbery case is doing just fine. I bought a new case and swapped out the hard shells.In my opinion these cases are worth every penny. Now I will only buy OtterBox cases, specifically from the Defender product line, for my phones.

I bought this phone case back in 2021 and it served me well. It finally started falling apart after 3 years. Impressive! But my phone stayed unhurt after many drops. I just bought a new one of the exact model and put it on my phone last night. So happy they still have the same model available!

It looks great and is hardy to the touch but it is hard to get apart and back on the clip oh boy

It's simple. It fits good and it works. That's all I needed it to do. Thank you

Nice!

Did not fit my phone - Google Pixel 4a. Too freaking hard to get on. Don't even try to take it off . I almost ruined my phone. First Otter Box I hated. No wonder it was on sale

We have purchased this phone case twice. The first one lasted for several years and has gone through consistent hard use. It is protected my husband's phone from falls, dust and dirt, splashes, and constant use. After 4 years the flap covering the charging port came loose at one end and the inner lining plastic cracked. It was still protecting his phone admirably, but we elected to replace it with a new one. I fully expect that this case will last another 4 years!
