FAQs

Is this case bulky?

While the Defender XT Series offers robust protection, it's designed to be thinner than previous Defender models. It does add some bulk compared to very slim cases, but it balances protection with a manageable profile.

Does the case come with a screen protector?

No, the OtterBox Defender XT Series case does not include a built-in screen protector. It is recommended to pair it with a compatible OtterBox screen protector for full coverage.

How do I clean the case?

You can clean the case with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the finish.

What is the warranty for this product?

OtterBox typically offers a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for their products. Please refer to the official OtterBox website for the most current warranty details.

Can I use wireless chargers other than MagSafe?

The case is optimized for MagSafe chargers. While other Qi-compatible wireless chargers might work, their efficiency and alignment could be affected due to the case's thickness and magnetic components.

Is the case made entirely of new plastic?

No, the case is made from 50 percent recycled plastic, contributing to environmental sustainability.

Will this case protect my phone if it's submerged in water?

This case is designed for drop, dust, and dirt protection, not for water submersion. It is not a waterproof case.

Troubleshooting

Phone won't charge with MagSafe charger.

Ensure the MagSafe charger is properly aligned with the magnets on the back of the case. Check that the charging cable is securely connected to the power source. Try removing the case to see if the charger works directly on the phone, indicating a potential case or charger issue.

Buttons feel stiff or difficult to press.

Ensure the phone is correctly seated within the case. Sometimes, slight adjustments can improve button responsiveness. If the issue persists, the case may require a short break-in period.

Dust or debris entering ports despite covers.

Check that the port covers are fully closed and properly sealed. Clean any debris from the edges of the port covers and the corresponding port area on the phone.

Case feels slippery.

Ensure your hands are clean and dry. The case has a textured grip, but it can feel smoother if wet or oily. Periodically clean the case to maintain its intended grip.
