OtterBox Defender Series case for Google Pixel 7 - Blue Suede Shoes

This case exceeded my expectations, great fit, feels well protected, quality is really good, and it looks good. It does add a bit small about it bulk to the side of the phone but well worth it for the level of protection it gives.

Needed something for hubby's new phone. Protects it very well, even the camera lens. He's really pleased with it and I've peace of mind he's less likely to break phone.

Sadly not the quality I was expecting from otterbox. Had lots of their cases before but this one seems to be of power quality. The rubber cover no longer fits snug and has become warped / stretched with hand heat within 7 months. This now means grit and dirt gets into the case. The fold out flap for the charging port has also snapped and fallen off. Shame as it has protected my phone from a few drops but buying a new case every 7 months isn't an option, especially considering the price.

The case feels pretty good from a materials perspective, but the outer case isn't as snug a fit as it could be (or as I remember on previous phones). It also cost nearly twice as much as I've ever said for an Otterbox Defender. Could use a front screen protector. I ended up buying some thin after market protectors, which do work well with the case.

Nicely made, good looking and to hold, but that's about it for me. I purchased this as in my job I often use my excellent Pixel 7 in arduous conditions... However I'm really NOT impressed, the much cheaper cover that I bought at the time I purchased the Pixel 7 (in the USA) gives far better protection for the camera lens, which in my opinion is the weak point of the Pixel, also and critically, my in car wireless charging does not work with this cover which it did with the cheaper one, which I'll probably revert to.
