OtterBox Galaxy S23 (Only) – Defender Series Case – Lichen The Trek (Green), Rugged & Durable – with Port Protection – Case Only – Microbial Defense Protection – Non-Retail Packaging

Protection!
The OtterBox Defender case series is designed to offer robust protection for smartphones, making it popular for users who need durable, impact-resistant cases. The Defender features a multilayer design with a hard polycarbonate shell and a synthetic rubber slipcover, providing significant drop protection and resistance to everyday wear. Additionally, it comes with a built-in port cover to keep out dust and debris, helping maintain device longevity in various environments.This case is compatible with wireless charging, though charging speed can sometimes be impacted due to the thickness of the case. Certain models, such as the Defender Pro, also include an antimicrobial layer that reduces bacteria growth on the case’s exterior, though it doesn’t directly protect the user or screen. Overall, the Defender series is ideal for anyone needing extra protection in rugged or active settings. However, know that this case is thicker than normal to give that added protection. It’s a small price to pay to keep your phone safe!

VERY well made
Otterbox cases are typically more expensive but given how well they work and the cost of a phone perhaps they’re worth it.My new S23 needed a case and I bought Otterbox again. I’ve used other cases and they were all okay for some level of protection but Otterbox always seems to be heavier and stronger. The one for the S23 is no different.It’s a three piece case but when it’s assembled it looks like a single piece. It’s “grippy” so it’s easy to hold but it won’t slide out of a pocket as easily as some. It also won’t slide off of things or out of your hand as easily as some.The button covers work easily and wireless charging is no problem. It has a flip open cover for the charging port. The area around the camera lenses appears adequately protective and is stylishly shaped in my opinion. The “Lichen The Trek” green is olive drab to me and the trim color of the inner case is a lighter gray/green. It all looks fine with the small amount of green color showing on the Samsung case.The case has some cushion zones so it adds to the size of the phone a little. It may actually work with a 10′ drop but I think I’ll forgo that test for now.Some reviewers complained about assembling the case. I don’t know why. There are no instructions with the case but peel the outer cover off, separate the two inner halves, snap those two halves around your phone and put the outer cover back on your new phone case.I expect this case will easily last as long as the phone…….

Semi -durable
Used for about a year and I beat it up pretty good and it’s held up, corner plastic has cracked and the rubber on the back started peeling around the camera but no issues

Visibility
Lost found between the seat and console. Could not see it. Almost ordered another phone.Decided to really check the space again. Found it! Thought it best to order a cover I could more easily find. I love the double protection this case provides. Also has a dust cover for the charging port. Really like the sea foam/yellow color. Easier to find:))

This is the best case I have ever owned. It protect my phone from damage multiple times. I am actually using it right now and I am sure that if it breaks I will be ordering two more for myself and my wife.Also, for a otterbox it is pretty cheap.

Great case. Survives high drops onto cement. Rubber flaps keep barn dust out of the charger port. Not too bulky
