OtterBox Defender cases for Apple iPhones are known for their durability and the extreme protection they provide to the enclosed device. The OtterBox Defender covers the iPhone from top to bottom and includes a built-in screen protector. Putting an iPhone in an OtterBox involves separating the layers of the case and then putting them back together with the iPhone inside. Once an OtterBox is on your iPhone, you should not need to remove the case very often.
Step 1
Push the tab on the OtterBox's holster and then pull the OtterBox out of the holster.
