If I get the Defender, does it have any warranty? For how long?

I didn't see anything about a warranty, but to be honest, you probably won't need one. I've had this case fora few weeks and it is more than worth what you will pay for it. I have no complaints. It offers amazing protection, and as a bonus, you won't have to buya screen protector because there is one built in. All in all, I wish this was the first car that I bought, but like you, I was skeptical. But now that I have one, I don't want anything else. P.s. When you finally get it, you have to have your phone turned with the top to the right, and the bottom pointed to the left, because there isa certain way that it goes in there in order to be secure, and as long as you pour your phone in the holster that way, you will never lose it. . Hope that helped..

I have been using a Defender case for my Droid Pro phone for several years. I'm not sure what their initial warranty is, but I had several pieces break or wear-out on my case over the years and Otterbox came through every time with replacement parts at no-charge. Even as long as two years after the purchase they would send replacement parts. For the last parts they asked for a photo of the component that broke. Otterbox has the best product support of any company I've ever encountered.

No and yes, because initially, the phone comes with its own cover for the charging port. The defender series is more rugged, and it's built for people who really drop their phone a lot. If you broke your cover for the charging port, then yes it is a drawback.

Absolutely. I have used the warranty twice on one I bought on Amazon and one I bought at the flea. OtterBox has a no questions asked policy. It is very easy.

the big difference is the holster that comes with the defender. they offer the same features other than the holster. after about a few months (five for me, three for my daughter) it starts to get loose around the edges. cant recall if the commuter has a builtin screen protector.

I have never had a problem with my OtterBox Defender. It was the best thing for me protects my phone and I can hear with no concerns from the person on the other end.

You get a Samsung warranty, which covers defects, and it seems most units have the speaker defect. $43 gets you drop and spill protection... I think it's worth it.

Same materials as the defender (I have a defender) , but definitely not as substantial. I was hesitant about getting anything less than the defender initially because I've dropped mine at least a dozen times with no issue but this one is the proper size for my wife and she's willing to take the chance. The biggest difference in the two different cases I think is the lack of coverage on the front of the phone. If you're worried about the glass breaking, the defender is definitely safer. You're going to have to weigh the pros and the cons of each design. Hope this helps.

It appears that Otterbox offers a warranty through their website. I'd check out there for more information.https://www.otterbox.com/en-us/warranty-full.html

From the description, I assumed that the Defender is more for people who need heavy duty protection. The Costco sales person, which is where I got my phone, told me that he has the Commuter on his phone and that it gets dropped all the time in the store as he is showing customers various things on it. That info was good enough for me.

Defender is thicker w/ built in screen protector. Hard plastic on the inside silicon on the outer layer. And it comes with a belt clip / phone stand. Commuter has no built in screen protector silicon is on the inside hard plastic outer layer. And no clip I have cracked my screen (not severly) even w/ the commuter

If you buy from Defender, it will be a fight to get them to stand behind their product. We had multiple failures resulting in our credit card company having to get our money back for us.

No you have to install it yourself. I think the Defender series is build in.

To my knowledge the answer is no. The case just adds extra protection for your phone. Otterbox does have a 1 year warranty on the case itself in case it breaks. If you have not already purchased this product you may want to look at the Defender model as it is more rugged and provides even more protection but it is also more bulky.

The Defender sucks and the rubber around the phone will get loose. The plastic on the inside will chip the edges around the phone. It did to my mine. The protector will most likely work, I'm not sure about the responsiveness I've never done it but I don't recommend the Defender

Not sure what a "defender" is, but if it is a case, I would say no. Possible, but depending on thickness, likely not.
