Otterbox done this is by far the best to protect smartphones in the market. They are certainly more respected. So when I invested in a Samsung Galaxy S4, I knew I wanted to protect my investment. And as I wanted a protective case with belt clip (due to the S4 is a bit big to fit in your back pocket, especially in one case), I decided on the Otterbox Defender. The case has two layers that protect the phone itself - the first is a unit of two-piece polycarbonate is adjusted to cover the entire phone (the screen has a piece of transparent protective covering it, and yet not affect the ability to operate the phone). The outer skin is a thick gel that fits within polycarbonate. Otterbox said to be three layers of protection, because when the case is in the belt clip, is the third layer, especially when the phone is on and the screen is into the clip. The case is not as great as the first thing I thought it would be - some of Otterboxes I saw on iPhones where huge positive friends, while this case is more specific to the dimensions of the phone. It is not heavy, but still have a sense of "protection" when you hold in your hands. The case can be inserted into countless shapes clip. You can confront the phone inward to protect the screen, or outward, it is desirable to see the screen using the belt clip as a stand (the spring clip has a locking piece that stays in position fully Extended, just so you can do). You can also place your phone in the clip either from east to west or west to east, so that no matter what you are wearing the hip may have the upper hand going in the direction you want to facilitate the answering machine. And the clip rotates 360 degrees so you can use it in either vertical or horizontal, and rid the place that feels most natural to you when you want to get your phone into the case. Perhaps the only downsides are that the clip at the top is a little uncomfortable - I still do not understand exactly what I want to use my image so that no bites on my skin or my way while bending or sitting, but I get easily on the phone when I want. In addition, the box has protective rubber gaskets covering the intake port and a helmet load; this means that the case is not dockable, if the opening is large enough for any regular charging cable with micro USB end can be inserted, no problem.

Otterbox makes what is by far the best protective smartphone cases on the market. Certainly they're the most respected. So when I invested in a Samsung Galaxy S4, I knew I wanted to protect my investment. And since I wanted a protective case with a belt clip (on account of the S4 is a little big to be cramming into my back pocket, especially in a case), I decided on the Otterbox Defender. The case has two layers that protect the actual phone - first is a two-piece polycarbonate unit that snaps together to cover the entire phone (the screen has a clear protective piece that covers it, and yet does not affect the ability to operate the phone). The outer skin is a dense gel that fits over the polycarbonate frame. Otterbox says it's three layers of protection because when the case is in the belt clip, that's the third layer, especially when the phone is turned so the screen is inward toward the clip. The case isn't as bulky as I first thought it would be - some of the Otterboxes I've seen on friends iPhones where positively huge, where as this case is more fitted to the dimensions of the phone. It's also not heavy, though it does still have a sense of "protection" when you hold it in your hand. The case can fit into the clip a myriad of ways. You can face the phone inward to protect the screen, or outward, which is handy for viewing the screen while using the belt clip as a stand (the spring clip has a locking piece that holds it in the fully extended position, just so you can do this). You can also situate the phone into the clip either east-west or west-east, so that it doesn't matter which hip you wear it on, you can have the top going in the direction you want it to for easier answering. And the clip swivels 360 degrees, so you can wear it vertically or horizontally, and have the release in the place that feels most natural for you when you want to get your phone out of the case. Perhaps the only drawbacks are that the top of the clip is a little uncomfortable - I still haven't figured out exactly how I want to wear my clip so that it doesn't bite into my skin or get in my way while stooping or sitting, but I can get to the phone easily when I want it. Also, the case has protective rubber gaskets that cover the charging port and headphones jack; this means the case isn't dockable, though the opening is wide enough that any regular charging cable with a micro-USB end can be inserted, no problem.
