OtterBox Defender Series SCREENLESS Case Case for Galaxy S10 - Black

I am just now replacing this after 2 1/2 of dropping this bad boy on so many concrete surfaces I couldn't possibly count. Women's traditional pants pockets are stupidly shallow so being a teacher on my feet all day, this drops all too regularly - parking lots, playgrounds, cement floors, etc. This last one finally cracked the hard inside case and the screen protector so I'm springing for another. No other company does phone protection better than Otterbox Defender. My nephew an electrician turned my on to it after I watched him drop his.

Delivery and Intial Installation Review :This review will have two parts to this review in different time frames , the delivery and installment , then use over time . I plan to write a review in 3 months , and then another 3 months later for a total of 6 months of use . So first part : delivery .I ordered the otter the night before because i cancelled my last order of the wrong case . Even though it said it would be delivered by 9pm the next day , i was worries my order would be delayed like one other product i ordered from . Not to worry , Amazon kept me updated and viola , my case came at around 7:30pm ( i wasn't paying too much attention to the time sorry ) . Went and got my package and we come to putting on the case . Taking the case apart was a bit challenging due to the fact that it was my first time using a defender , and i can be quite heavy handed and tend to rip or break things accidentally even when im careful . Even with my rough handling , my case was fine and nothing was damaged which is a good look . I like that it was hard to pry open because if applied correctly , it would be difficult for my phone to slip from the case . After putting everything together ,i noticed how much heavier my phone was and how " padded " the casing was . I feel like my case is secure . In the next 3 months , i will see how my case does along with an additional 3 months and perhaps even a year from now . I look forward to the results .P . S . Ive heard a lot of people complaining about their cases , but ive noticed that all those people ordered the purple one ; i have the blue one . Perhaps avoiding the purple one would be best ?Also also , i will confirm from other complaints that the sides are kinda out on the sides . It's leveled with the case to be exact . Be mindful of that .Well , see you in 3 months ! ((:

I purchaased this case in order to replace outer rubber shell on the Otterbox Defender case I purchased at the same time as my 2019 Galaxy S10e. This case does not fit properly and will be returned. My S10e has a long power button on the upper right (as I face the phone). My old case has an opening there to allow complete access to the power button. On this case, there is no opening---just a small raised button. That does not allow for reliable use of the power button. In addition, the rubber shell on this case is not as thick and sturdy as the one on my old case. My phone is almost four years old. It has been dropped on cememt, hardwood, and tile floors and been trampled by dogs with zero damage. The thick rubber on my existing case protects the screen from contact with a hard surface in the event of a drop. This case is a lot thinner and I am not confident it would provide the same level of protection.

Okay. I don’t normally write reviews, but this case is worthy! Sorry it’s so long, but the story is important.While out with my husband, driving 2 cars, we make a stop and I am chatting with my husband. Not thinking about it (I know, my husband already called me out for being an idiot) I set my phone on the hood of his truck.Not thinking about it, my phone stays on the hood of the truck. I go back to my car, and off we go.A solid 10 minutes later, driving down the road at 55mph, I realize that I don’t have my phone. I ask my daughter to call my husband and let him know - surely it fell off and I needed to turn back to look for it. My daughter calls my husband, and as I’m explaining, I WATCH MY PHONE FLY OFF OF HIS TRUCK.At this point, I’ve accepted the fate that the phone will be destroyed - but I need to get it so I can return it when I claim on my insurance through my provider. I turn around and find the phone laying in the road. After safely parking and making sure there’s no one barreling down the road - I run into the road and grab the mess of a phone, then run back to my car.I look at my phone while I’m in the car. At first it seemed ruined - the case was partially off the phone, a piece was missing from the case, and the case had some spots suffering from road rash.Instinctively, I remove the case. THE PHONE WORKS!!! Not only does the phone work, but there is NO damage to my phone. Not one scratch. Not one chip. Nothing.I do have a screen protector on the phone (this case in particular does not cover the screen) so that’s another miracle. But watching my phone literally fly through the air and smash down on the pavement, I am so impressed that this case did exactly what it’s meant to do.So, five stars Otterbox! Definitely getting another one!
