what's up guys it's Lou from unbox therapy and today we're taking a look at the Defender Series case from OtterBox and this is for your iPhone 4 or 4s it's available in a number of different colors I've got the black one here and actually I'm really impressed with OtterBox products up until this point I previously unboxed their iPad 2 case I believe it was called the reflex series I can't remember the name for certain but I'll put a link in the annotations as well as in the description so you can go check out that unboxing if you haven't seen it yet but the reason I'm impressed is because of how tough the material is the ruggedized sort of resin material that is mostly what this case is constructed of - the external rubberized silicone like shell the real magic happens internally but first let's talk about the exterior portion there says this is a three part system you've got this rubberized silicone like finish but it's much thicker than what you're used to in terms of say a silicone skin and then on the interior side you've got this front portion that covers the front of your iPhone of course and it even has a built in screen protector for you know stopping scratches and whatnot from occurring now the interesting part here is I've already got a screen protector installed on my phone I'm gonna see if it'll work with both now this is the back side of the case you have a nice soft material here including a cutout for the Apple logo up here and then another cutout for your camera as well as flash the camera cutout has no plastic cover over it which makes sense considering it has to function with that flash whereas the Apple logo cutout does now here is the infamous pink iPhone you may remember from other videos it's featuring the brixon color shield which I also unboxed and featured a little while ago on the channel and as I said before that's already a screen protector and then the outer box brings another screen protector to the party and I was amazed to find out that it functions perfectly even with two screen protectors so this is probably overkill if you decide to go with the OtterBox permanently then you're not gonna need two screen protectors but for the sake of this video I just wanted to show you guys that it does work installation is actually pretty easy you take the two internal components and clip them together there are Eclipse one on each side of the body and then one on the top side and after that's done it's pretty much secured within this enclosure the only part that you are left to do is wrap the silicone rubberized external portion around this portion and boom you've got the finished product now you've got a very generous cutout along top for your forward facing camera your earpiece as well as your sensor so you're not gonna have to worry about having any sort of issues with those phone components and as I mentioned before you've got a built-in screen protector so you won't need to bring your own to the party unless you really want to and you're super paranoid and then on the side of the case you've got access via this little flap to your vibrate switch and you've also got your fully covered volume up and down buttons but you still get a little bit of tactile feedback the bottom of the case leaves enough room for both your microphone and speaker and you've got a really robust sort of cover for your dock connector fully covering it up so you're not gonna get any debris or anything like that up in there anything that you don't want so here's a look at the back of the case and as I mentioned before you've got cutouts for both the Apple logo as well as the camera and flash so you know everything up there is gonna function correctly along the top of the case you've got a fully protected hold switch and then you've got access as well to your microphone and if you flip this tab here up you'll get access to your headphone jack you've even got a little crevice here which makes it easier to flip that portion up which is important because you know you're gonna be using this particular aspect of the case fairly often when you're inserting headsets etc now this case also includes a bail clip if anybody uses those anymore but it is one of the better bail clips that I've ever seen holsters whatever you want to call them it's got a ratcheting style clip and it definitely feels like it's not gonna pop off by accident it's made out of the same rugged sort of resin material that the interior portion of the Defender Series case is made out of so you know it's gonna be just as tough now here's the key how does it hold up two drops and bumps and whatnot well let me tell you something I'm fairly confident in it just sort of testing it out here these aren't huge drops just a couple feet but I'm actually more worried about the table than I have about tea hi phone there was some nice big bangs no dents or anything but anyway guys as you can tell I'm pretty impressed with this product I'm gonna use it and find out if it's gonna be a daily driver or not but anyways until next time I want to thank you for watching as always if you enjoyed this content hopefully you can like and favorite this video as it does help me out a bunch and until next time I'll see you around the channel a lot of you going to be asking about the giveaway that's gonna be coming up a real soon as soon as I get some things sorted out and definitely stay tuned to the channel for that subscribe if you haven't yet alright see you guys around
