OtterBoxSamsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Defender Series Case - Black

First off this is a great all around case. It comes right up to the edge of "too much bulk to carry in my pocket every day" but it's worth the protection for me. As others said the back of the case can catch on the inside of your pocket since it has a grippy surface, but it's not that bad.I go to a lot of music festivals where theft is a problem. This case is amazing for that for 2 reasons:1) The case has multiple parts that fit securely together. It takes serious time and effort to get them off if you don't have the instructions. So if your phone is tethered by the case then thieves can't just rip the case off.2) It has an attachment point for tethers and straps on the bottom corner built right into the solid plastic. I didn't see this mentioned before I bought it but it's a great bonus. If you use a phone tether of any kind at festivals (you should!) then you can attach it here at a connection point that can't be cut. If you have pliers you can also get a small key ring through this point for extra security.

Fits well with s25 ultra, great value for the product, grips well in the hand, basic design but functional, great durability, excellent phone case.

This is my second OtterBox case for a Samsung phone. I've never broken a phone screen anyway but this is a nice case with some shock resistance (flexibility) so I purchased the one for my latest phone when I bought the new phone. It's just as good, obvious shock resistance from the flexible material. Two part case, a hard shell inside the rubbery outside so I assume the first thing that could break would be the inner hard case making it two layers of protection for my phone. The three buttons still function and I have access to things like the phone's pen and it doesn't obstruct the camera views. If anything negative it's that it's edge and rear cover only, no front cover but, I used a screen cover at a decent price but haven't ever cracked a phone screen anyway. Fits fine entirely in my pocket and is easy to remove the phone with a solid hold on it.

I have been using Otterbox Defender cases on my phones for several years now, and have had very good luck with the protection they provide. I even ran over my phone with one of these cases on it and it came out pretty good. I used mine with a screen protector and had no issues putting the case on at all

Have always gotten otter cases for my Samsung phone. I recently upgraded my phone, from a Samsung Note, My note otter case lasted 6 years without needing to be replaced , One screen break and it wasn't even the front of the phone it was the back camera my fault from a rock. To put into thoughts to create a picture. Otter cases themselves last a very long time and it is not common to replace them. with that being said I have now upgraded to a Samsung s25 ultra, and once again going to the defender series otter case as I have trusted it for years. I am unable to say how well it fits with a screen protector due to not having one on my phone however, the case itself took a minute to disassemble to reassemble. It sits in a plastic chell then into a rubber shell, I wouldn't exactly say it's bulky but it's also not exactly slim either. The ultra is a large phone, I wasn't looking for something that makes my phone smaller than it is. I always get the defender cases for my life style. I drop things often. I believe $60 some is a value for money givin I probably won't need to replace this case for some years to come. With that being said I am able to access my stylus easily and my regular phone buttons work just fine.

Product description stated a clip holster was included. This is the whole reason he loves this case. It did not come with the hoster and if you buy one, yours will not come with one. Attempted to contact seller. It said oops there was an error. I had to use my laptop to retry. It sent me to the Otterbox website. I came to a dead stop with no resolution. I decided to try the chat window and stated the problem. It said there was a redemption card for the holster in the case box. So I looked and it was there. So now I have to seperatly order this holster "for free" as another step. I attempted to do that, and low and behold, it states it is out of stock. What a ridiculous way to do business. Case is useless to him without the holster. The case is going back and we will have to find something else. So, don't buy this if you need the holster to go with it. What an absolute waste of time.

Otter-box covers are the ONLY Samsung Galaxy phone covers I will use. I purchased an otter box for my S3, my S9+ and my current S25 Ultra. I have dropped my cell phones for years on all kinds of surfaces and even sent my S9+ through the wash cycle in my washing machine - and have never had an issue with my phones. There was a five day layover from when I purchased my S25 and my Otter Box arrived and I was nervous and overtly careful until I could get the box installed. They are durable, easy to install and are way worth the price.

Bought this for the new Galaxy 25 Ultra as I'm always a fan of the defender series. Material didn't disappoint, others have pointed out the lack of a belt clip and this is true but honestly I dont use it so not much of an issue here. No issues regarding having this and a screen protector and it does shield the camera well while also being subdued and not jutting out too bad.My main complaints would be that there's nothing really shielding my pen, kinda expected something like what they do with the charging port or old headphone jack. Additionally charging port is exactly the same with the same issue of over time the flap pushes down on your cables causing me issues with chargers not sitting correctly.Overall, great protection, just dont expect anything too fancy when it comes to the pen.
