Yep, right there in the description is the link to the screen protector you used...NOT! Also several comments below asking for the information. I hope you check back and read this for all our sakes. Thank you for the very good video. It has helped me decide on which Defender is best for me. I have used them for a very long time and have been very satisfied with the product.
But does the original defender case offer more protection than the new defender xt case? The original defender case had a 2 piece hard shell with a soft mat inside and a rubber outer case protection. The new defender case just looks like a rubber case with a hard top to protect your screen 😑 the original looks like it offers more protection being its 3 piece and not 2 piece.
Before you buy the OtterBox commuter case this is my second replacement because the rubber that will keep lifting up after a few months the company makes you pay for shipping and handling this to make more money off the customer so before you get one of these cases you're going to have to spend anywhere between five to six dollars every other month
Thanks so much for this video! I have the Pro XT case and boy, is it tricky to put the plastic piece back in. I had to take it off today to get a SIM card in. Would have NEVER got it back on without your video tutorial!!
I'm just trying to buy the cheapest Defender, but I can't find the original Defender on ebay. There's the Defender Pro and the Defender XT only. Not really feeling the lines of the Pro, and definitely don't want it to be anywhere close to slippery with the XT.
Your Video is awesome!!! I have had OtterBox cases on my previous iPhones for many years with great success. I recently bought the Defender XT online at Amazon for the 5X as many drops feature, and I did not realize this OtterBox case separates much differently than my previous OtterBox cases. To my SURPRISE, the first video I watched (from a different RUclipsr) to install an OtterBox case on an iPhone 13 Pro Max did NOT have the MagSafe disc on the inside of the case. I didn't realize OtterBox had more than 1 Defender Series case. I am familiar with the 3-pc case, and that is what I thought I bought. No instructions were shipped with new unopened box. Sure GLAD I watched your video because I would have destroyed my new case. This new style OtterBox case is a 2-pc design and it wasn't intuitively obvious how to separate the case. I will send your video link back to myself for future reference for when I remove and then reinstall this case, for example, access to my SIM. By the way, this OtterBox case fits well with my JETech tempered glass screen protector and plastic camera lens protector.
Hallo... I'm rijal... U have a iphone 13 Pro max....But use a live wallpaper from iphone 12PM… Can U Share the link where I can get the live wallpaper iPhone 12PM...? Thanks..

I've had it since April 2022 and my phone is intact. I just ordered a new one with the lifetime warranty because the rubber edges have been breaking. excellent protection!!
I love your reviews. I don’t like the Pro XT is because it doesn’t have the protection cover for the mute switch. I don’t use MagSafe so I normally always use the original defender case……
Great video as always ..just curious what case will be your daily driver ? And also what camera lens Protection do you use ? I might of missed your video on it . Thanks
Ehhhh I thought those were tacky actually. Unless you're pretentious (no offense), it's really unnecessary to show the Apple logo. And you can tell easily when a phone had been in a defender case cuz there's a darker ring around the logo because it's been exposed when the other parts were covered up. So I'm glad these got rid of it personally.
So what's the difference between the Defender XT, and the Defender XT Pro ? By the way, the Otterbox website says the Defender XT Pro IS Magsafe compatible. It also says the non Pro XT is Magsafe.
Hi, have you been using any of these otterbox cases as your daily driver ? If so can you comment how well the case is holding up and if the back of the phone gets any scratches from being in the case . Thanks
I’ve got the LK series lens protector for my iPhone 13 PM along with the Otterbox. It doesn’t impede the camera lens at all even though it adds another layer.
Hi! I know this is an old video but I am getting an iPhone 13 pro. I love otterbox cases but I cant find the xt case where I live (Argentina) I wanted to ask if magsafe still worked with the other otterbox cases or not if you had tested it. I just want to be sure I will be able to charge my phone with it on or if I needed the pro XT
Is the pro xt thinner than the defender pro? I’ve got the defender pro and I love how it keeps my phone protected. Which do you think has the most protection?
Live the video. Great job describing the different cases. I’d like to add the cushioning on the back of the cases may make it tricky to use the iPhone’s back tap feature. Not a deal breaker but something to be aware of.
Hi there. Can the Defender XT mag safe could use the belt clip of Defender Pro? Please reply as soon as possible, because the Iphone is on the way, while I have not decided the case yet😂
I went with the xt , it’s great . I did add a back skin to the case and the phone for extra scratch protection… Did you end up using the xt as ur daily ?
Has anyone else had any issues with the Apple magsafe white charging puck not always working? I know the case is supposed to be mag safe compatible but my charging puck don't always hook up to start charging
Omg I just buy my iPhone 13 promax and the girl at the store just push the iPhone making pressure on it . I felt worried about it because now I am seen that she should do it that way you are teaching
Otterbox got rid of the plastic screen protector on their iphone cases when the iphone x came out on top of the plastic was prone to scratching easily and separating from the plastic frame so it made sense to them to do away with the plastic screen protector
Which case would you say offers the most protection for the camera and screen? I have the Pro and it doesn’t come up as high as I would like on the camera and screen? Any help appreciated.
doesnt matter which case , jsut get a camera lens protector and glass screen protector and ur set for those 2 things ur concerned about. i made a video on what i use from a brand called unique me i got off amazon
Lol tell that to my friend who dropped his at an angle and smashed his screen a couple of months back. It was for his XS, so getting an OLED screen and fixing one other thing cost him almost $200. I actually got him a tempered glass screen protector, but he took it off and it cost him 200 bucks less than 2 years later. The phone never worked perfectly after getting that repair done either, and he took it to a cell phone shop too.
@@VATOOUT It's possible. I take very good care of my phone. I have one of those 99 cent screen protectors. I think I've cracked one or two of them over he past 7 years or so. But so far so good. I don't drop the phone very often.

Thank you for this great video👍🏼
Which screenprotector ans lens protector you used????
Yep, right there in the description is the link to the screen protector you used...NOT! Also several comments below asking for the information. I hope you check back and read this for all our sakes. Thank you for the very good video. It has helped me decide on which Defender is best for me. I have used them for a very long time and have been very satisfied with the product.
Mentioned you would post it around 3:00 in.
its from a brand called unique me. got it off amazon for liek 10 bucks. comes with a fancy camera protector too. i reviewed them recently uploads :)
There’s actually another version of the defender case which is the defender XT without the antimicrobial coding.
But does the original defender case offer more protection than the new defender xt case? The original defender case had a 2 piece hard shell with a soft mat inside and a rubber outer case protection. The new defender case just looks like a rubber case with a hard top to protect your screen 😑 the original looks like it offers more protection being its 3 piece and not 2 piece.
Yes it does

Very thorough and helpful. I watched a couple of others that made no sense.
Older versions came with a screen protector they need to revert back to that
Those screen protectors really messed with the functionality of the touch screen. Glass screen protectors are far more protective anyhow.
Once the screens became so large they could no longer get the plastic screen protectors to lay flat. That had a video a few years ago about it.
Yeah the plastic protecters would expose a lot of dirt but you might have barley slight scratches
Those sucked
I'm just trying to buy the cheapest Defender, but I can't find the original Defender on ebay. There's the Defender Pro and the Defender XT only. Not really feeling the lines of the Pro, and definitely don't want it to be anywhere close to slippery with the XT.
Thank you sir best Otterbox video on RUclips

going to need the XT for mag safe charging.
Great review， and the tag shows it is also compatible with 12pm, is it really compatible with 12pm ? Thank you for you response 🎉
Hallo... I'm rijal... U have a iphone 13 Pro max....But use a live wallpaper from iphone 12PM… Can U Share the link where I can get the live wallpaper iPhone 12PM...? Thanks..
I found it interesting how the XT has a higher drop protection rating than the other two Defender cases.
i did a video on some cheap protectors of amazon that fit
I've had it since April 2022 and my phone is intact. I just ordered a new one with the lifetime warranty because the rubber edges have been breaking. excellent protection!!
Does the XT case clip on with the DEFENDER Clip case?

Great video as always ..just curious what case will be your daily driver ? And also what camera lens Protection do you use ? I might of missed your video on it .

The only thing I hate about OtterBox cases is that they no longer show you the Apple logo

You do know that whole "going greener" is a cash grab. They dgaf. 🥴
Hi, have you been using any of these otterbox cases as your daily driver ? If so can you comment how well the case is holding up and if the back of the phone gets any scratches from being in the case .
Thanks
Great video! Thank you! Helped me out a lot!
Which lens protector do you recommend for the iPhone 13 Pro? Your video here is excellent. Thank you.
I’ve got the LK series lens protector for my iPhone 13 PM along with the Otterbox. It doesn’t impede the camera lens at all even though it adds another layer.
@@backpackingtony1779 where did you buy it from ?
@@chris1966. from Amazon. They’re a good brand. I bought the same type for my Apple Watch.
@@backpackingtony1779 good find, I just bought mine off your recommendation!
@@backpackingtony1779 does it reflect and make the pic quality bad
Thank you for making the video. You said you would mention your screen/camera protector. What Brand did you go with? Thanks!
unique off of amazon
@@randomrazr Unique is the brand?
Good review, I didn’t know the CT was different.
Hi! I know this is an old video but I am getting an iPhone 13 pro. I love otterbox cases but I cant find the xt case where I live (Argentina) I wanted to ask if magsafe still worked with the other otterbox cases or not if you had tested it. I just want to be sure I will be able to charge my phone with it on or if I needed the pro XT
unless u want the magsafe, id consider the regular defender. its alot easier to put on
Im looking for a magsafe case that has a holster. Any suggestions? The pro xt doesn’t have holster.
I have the iPhone 13 pro max in silver 128gb and uploaded an unboxing video on my channel, I love this phone!
Is the pro xt thinner than the defender pro? I’ve got the defender pro and I love how it keeps my phone protected. Which do you think has the most protection?
Which case would you say has the best lip protection, like the raised case part around the screen
Zagg put my screen protector on without taking the case off.
Otterbox said that the Defender series cases work with wireless charging and they don't.
Ive been seeing people saying this a lot I’ve never had an issue using a wireless charger
These are my favorite cases. 👍🏽📱
Did you get the defender pro XT in Canada?
Pro defender or defender which one stronger
I always get the defender I like heavy duty the other 2 feel solf for me
The 5 dollar diffent is for germ 😅 and line on the case 😊
I have the XT you forgot to mention the hole on the back bottom right for a lanyard or whatever you want.
yes their is one. i rarely see anyone use a lanyard for a phone tho llol but its their
Do they all come with a holster?
Great!
Thank you so much
What is the camera lip protection like on the defender case
Is the defender xt bigger /thicker than commuter?
What screen protector do you uses with theese?
Live the video. Great job describing the different cases. I’d like to add the cushioning on the back of the cases may make it tricky to use the iPhone’s back tap feature. Not a deal breaker but something to be aware of.
I don’t see a link in the description for the screen protector as you stated. Which one do you recommend?
Any product from Zagg. There’s also a lifetime warranty that’s super easy to use.
So what xt is stronger the pro case 😝
Hi there. Can the Defender XT mag safe could use the belt clip of Defender Pro? Please reply as soon as possible, because the Iphone is on the way, while I have not decided the case yet😂
no belt clip unforutnately
I went with the xt , it’s great . I did add a back skin to the case and the phone for extra scratch protection… Did you end up using the xt as ur daily ?
XT is nice casue it has magsfe built in. i stuck with my commuter case as it didnt feel as "wide" feeling as the defender line up.
@@randomrazr thanks for the reply… do you ever use apple cases or not enough protection?
Has anyone else had any issues with the Apple magsafe white charging puck not always working? I know the case is supposed to be mag safe compatible but my charging puck don't always hook up to start charging
Omg I just buy my iPhone 13 promax and the girl at the store just push the iPhone making pressure on it . I felt worried about it because now I am seen that she should do it that way you are teaching
Great video!
I have the defender pro series and the real tree case for my 11 pro max
What happen to the otter box second platic window to protect ur phones screen. I remember years back then it had a extra screen plastic protector
Otterbox got rid of the plastic screen protector on their iphone cases when the iphone x came out on top of the plastic was prone to scratching easily and separating from the plastic frame so it made sense to them to do away with the plastic screen protector
Great overview of the various OtterBox cases. Although I wish that you had mentioned the 13 mini as well.
Is there a protector iver your camera?
yup
Which case would you say offers the most protection for the camera and screen? I have the Pro and it doesn’t come up as high as I would like on the camera and screen? Any help appreciated.
doesnt matter which case , jsut get a camera lens protector and glass screen protector and ur set for those 2 things ur concerned about. i made a video on what i use from a brand called unique me i got off amazon
Pro so it work against germ 😅 and it have line I like defender more simple and sexy
What‘s the difference between the Defender XT and Defender Pro XT?
Antimicrobial coating.
@@madtiger7955 That’s all? Oh ok
These cases are hideously ugly, and make Daddy saddy.
Xt is scam it light case why the call it defender 😝
you didnt even do indian bend or drop test. terrible waste vid.
Why do you even bother pretending to care about “being a greener company” 🤦♂️ so insane
You don’t need those stupid screen protectors with this case
Lol tell that to my friend who dropped his at an angle and smashed his screen a couple of months back. It was for his XS, so getting an OLED screen and fixing one other thing cost him almost $200. I actually got him a tempered glass screen protector, but he took it off and it cost him 200 bucks less than 2 years later. The phone never worked perfectly after getting that repair done either, and he took it to a cell phone shop too.
@@aznnp77 would have crack with the screen protector on
@@VATOOUT It's possible. I take very good care of my phone. I have one of those 99 cent screen protectors. I think I've cracked one or two of them over he past 7 years or so. But so far so good. I don't drop the phone very often.
What type of screen protector?
