Is this case just as strong as an otterbox defender? Can you fit a tempered glass screen protector on the galaxy s5 with this case?

I don't know about the tempered glass but these are by far the best cases that you can buy

It seems strong, I do not know the otterbox. I have a glass cover over the screen, from ZAG,and it fits fine. It is easy to get in and out of the holster which is a big improvement over theprevious holster case I had for the phone.

Its not quite as strong as the Otter Box Defender. The Otter Box has another hard inner case layer of protection. You can indeed put a glass screen protector on the Galaxy S5 with the DILEX case.

If not as strong possibly even stronger. Definitely not as thick. Yes, the tempered glass fits with the s5.

This case isn't a cocoon. It protects the sides and back and the case "sticks" up about 1/8 above the screen. This is the second of these cases that I've owned for 2 samsung phones. I like these much better than Otterbox sure to size and no muffeling.

It wilk fit easily with a tempered glass screen but the case isn't as sturdy as the Otterbox...

Just as strong. I have a armor shield glass protector on my phone and it fits perfectly.

I have had Otterbox in the past. I prefer this case. Using it on S5 without screen protection. Only thing you should be aware if is heat. I am addicted to a couple of games, I have to take the case off when I play otherwise Android starts acting like Windows. Good news is it is very easy on/off.

I have the defender, and it's fine, the commuter is thinner, so it will be OK, I also have the spigen neo hybrid, which is similar to the commuter, and it fits perfectly, so there shouldn't be a problem

No, the commuter screen protector is more flexible therefore it appears to be not as thick. Seems to offer very good if not same protection though. The commuter is lighter packing, not so plasticky. The front has a cleaner view of the entire face and the defender covers the top and bottom quarters. Thanks for asking. Good Luck! :)

I have the Otterbox Commuter case with this screen protector. Fits and works perfectly on the Galaxy s5.

First my phone cost 700.00 it would never get near my back pocket with a 5.7 inch glass screen, that being said if you do it without the defender case it adds very little size. Given that you did not provide which phone you have I would say yes and the phone would be safer from accidentally being crushed as well.

Yes, it was if not bigger than the Otterbox defender. I didn't keep it. I had to return it because its back wasn't made of rubber but a plastic that didn't keep the phone from sliding off all surfaces.

With the iPhone 5 and Otterbox Commuter case, my holster has 5 mm extra room in all dimensions. The Defender case is a bit thicker than the one I have, but I'd expect this holster to handle Defender with ease, and even the Armor series on an iPhone5. Recommended.

This is as sturdy case. Of course, not as sturdy as an Otterbox. It does help protect the screen, but not completely. I purchased a strudy screen protector for that.

I can't answer that question, I never tried the defender. I just know that my Verizon salesperson recommended the Otter Box and I'm very happy with mine.

I put a 4 mm thick tempered glass protector on my S4, the rubber and plastic cases I've tried do not fit right and cause the glass cover to bubble. Don't know how this particular cover works.

I'm not sure, we bought both the Defender and the Commuter. The Defender has a plastic screen protector built in to it, the Commuter does not but I'm just as happy with it. I did buy a heavy duty canvas case/clip that works great as well. It has a metal clip to it so I know it wont break easily. We use plastic clips for our work cell phones and they break all the time. I did find that the Commuter series had more color choices whick is what I was looking for. The green makes it so easy to find when I'm home. I have dropped it a couple of times and you really cant tell. It held up nicely.

Yes Sandy I have a slim armor case on my phone but just yesterday I installed the tech armor ballistic glass on my friends phone and he has the black otterbox commuter case on his galaxy s5. I originally was going to go with the otterbox but got the slim armor because I think it looks nicer but now I'm thinking about buying it any way because of all the reviews and my friends feedback on the otterbox. Anyway the ballistic glass is by far the best screen protector I have ever used. You honestly can't tell that you have a screen protector on except for the home button being slightly resessed. Hope that answers your question Sandy! :) Yes Sandy I have a slim armor case on my phone but just yesterday I installed the tech armor ballistic glass on my friends phone and he has the black otterbox commuter case on his galaxy s5.

I would get to otter box defender series case with a built in screen. I originally bought the one you're contemplating on buying I never dropped my phone with it on so it may be ok but it doesn't look as durable or protective as the otterbox is but the otterbox cost way too much compared to this one. I'll just say you get what you pay for.

I haven't had an Otterbox so I can't compare them. A friend of mine has one for the Droid Ultra and he loves it. I don't have any complaints about this case. I have gotten the screen wet and it came out of that great.

Good question, yes a standard screen protector should fit fine for this case however tempered is slightly thicker than standard protectors so some extra bulk may happen.

The edges are pretty slim the back of the case seems a little bit thicker, I used to use the Otterbox Commuter and this Armor case is way more thinner, I have the transparent one and it looks awesome on my S5, now I cant say is drop proof, I havent drop it yet...so I dont know how this case perform.

I'm not familiar enough with the otterbox models to make a comparison. It is definitely less bulky than the defender. For the price, I think the Ballistic Aspira is as much case as anyone needs unless they are going to drop it in water. Hope this helps.
