Otterbox arguably offers the best level of protection on the market, with years of products consistently providing high-quality protection for a range of different phone brands. The Otterbox Defender Series comes packed with multi-layer construction guards to protect your shiny new iPhone 12 from drops, dirt, scratches and cracked screens.
The Otterbox Defender Series consists of a polycarbonate shell, with a synthetic rubber slipcover and polycarbonate holster. This combination of protective layering protects your phone from even the most extreme lifestyles. The screenless design may need a plastic screen protector for peace of mind, although the raised edges do add an extra layer of screen and camera protection.
The included hands-free kickstand can be used to prop up the phone and either stream video content or video calls with ease. The Otterbox Defender Series also includes a limited lifetime warranty.
