Otterbox Defender for iPhone 5
With your new iPhone 5, you will most likely need extra protection for the drops and scratches you are sure to encounter. If you have never tried out an Otterbox before, now would be a good time if you want to get a longer life out of your phone.
Otterbox Defender for the iPhone 5 is similar to their previous models for the 4/4s. It combines a hard plastic inner case and built in screen protector with a silicone outer cover that helps disperse shock from drops. The silicone portion of the case also includes plugs for all the ports to prevent dust from entering them when they’re not in use.
The Otterbox’s design gives you full access to the phones features without compromising functionality. The camera takes pictures as if the case was not even there and you don’t have to sacrifice touch or viewing functionality of the touch screen with the screen protector. The belt clip that comes with the phone provides for convenient carrying and gives even more protection to the phone by keeping the touch screen covered and only exposing the back of the case when the phone is stored.
The only issue users may have with the Defender is its size. It almost doubles the thickness of the iPhone 5 bringing it to a little over .6 inches thick. It will however still fit comfortably in your pocket or purse and after the first drop, you will be glad that you bought it.
