How high can an OtterBox be dropped from?

Out of the three cases, the only case that we’ve tested in terms of drop protection is the Otterbox Defender. We’re giving Otterbox the benefit of the doubt by saying it will protect your iPhone from 6.6 ft drops but in our drop test, we threw in 40 ft in the air. The iPhone 6 is fine though a little bent.

How protective is OtterBox Commuter?

How many times is OtterBox drop tested?

It requires a case and device be dropped 26 times from 4 feet. This proves the edges, corners, front and back of a case prevail through multiple impacts and that we’ve made the toughest phone case possible.

Can your screen crack with an OtterBox?

As you noted, there is no screen protection in this OtterBox model. There is a bit of a lip that rolls around the extreme edge of the screen, so there will be some protection from that. A vertical, screen-down flat drop shouldn’t make for a problem, but if the screen lands on a projection you may end up with damage.

Is Otterbox Symmetry drop proof?

Impressive stuff. The new ultra-slim Symmetry Series cases are made from synthetic rubber and polycarbonate, offers drop protection, and feature a screen bumper with an ever so slightly raised edge to help protect the screen if you drop your phone face down.
