Hi,
Awwwww yay I'm so very glad you like it use it in the best of health for
ages to come (big smile). the company has their own site too but I always
find that amazon's prices are a smidge better and though they too sell
directly through Amazon I usually tend to pick the one shipping from Amazon
in case it has any wee problem that needs addressing. I believe the company
is out of Georgia.
Again I'm so glad you like it.
Robin

Protective Case with Screen Protector
I have received the Supcase recommended by Robin and I absolutely love
it. I like the fact that it's a tad less bulkier than the Otterbox
Defender, making the phone thinner and lighter. The screen protector is
perfectly flush with the phone's screen. The fact that it doesn't cover
up the home button also allows my fingerprint to be recognized with more
responsiveness and overall faster speed. Lately, my fingerprint wasn't
being recognized as quickly as it should and that problem is now gone.
As I hadn't heard of this case I would never have thought to purchase it
on my own but, given Robin's recommendation, I decided it was worth
trying. Personally, it was the best ten dollars and six cents I've spent
on this phone!

Hi,
This is a fabulous case. I use this brand based on Robin's recommendation on my iPhone 6S+ and my iPad Mini 4. I use the holster on the 6S+ facing in of course, smile! And both case and holster are very sturdy.
One thing I prefer over the Otterbox Defender is that I would often have to take my 5S out and dry off the condensation that would build up under the screen protector. And also wipe off grit that built up all over the phone. I don't know if that was part of living in Florida or the Otterbox. However, I have not had an issue with this brand of case on either the 6S+ or the iPad Mini 4.

Hi,
Yes the few times I returned an otterbox I merely explained that I couldn’t take a picture being a blind person especially as sometimes they'd want a view of the serial number inside the case. Often times you could find someone to wave that requirement. But yes with these it's even easier as they're much cheaper but don't necessarily feel that way when in use.
Once you get it start from the bottom edge opening port covers and pulling rubber outer shell away from front frame. Then work your way up sides and pry it loose. then remove cellophane covering from both inside and outside of front cover. I always like to wipe the inside gently with a slightly damp cloth to get rid of any residue and pat dry. Then place front cover over face of the device you'll know immediately if screen protector lays right even before putting on outer cover.
Good luck I hope you like it.
Oh one more point to mention unlike the otterbox defender this case can not, not, not be placed into its holster face out. If you do it'll cause the case to definitely bend. I never use holster so that wasn't a deal breaker for me but some are very disappointed. I believe the only other case that offers face out placement is the Griffin survivor.

Oh, thank you so much. Thanks also for providing the direct link. It was only a little over ten dollars so I ordered it. And choosing no rush shipping gave us a five dollar credit with Amazon Pantry, which will make my wife very happy. Yes, every time I needed to reorder an Otterbox it was just easier to order a new one. Otterbox is very willing to send out free replacements but it involves taking a photo and uploading it to them, which is quite nice on their part but more drama than I'd like to go through. I should get the case by next Monday or Tuesday so we'll see how it goes.I really appreciate the recommendation.

Hi,
that's one option or you could try the SupCase unicorn Beetle pro
https://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-display-Unicorn-Holster-Protector/dp/B0
0MOOF4D8 It is like the defender but the fingerprint reader home
button is not covered. It is a bit thinner and cheaper than the
defender but has served me well since I abandoned the defender a few
iPhone releases ago. On occasion you might get a protector that
doesn't lay as flush as you speak of but well umm I probably shouldn't
admit this but umm ok I will when that happens I usually just buy
another because they're so reasonably priced and either take the loss
keeping the bad one for spare parts or simply place it in the box that
the new one came in if it is better and I'm keeping it and merely do
an easy as pie return to amazon for a refund though now that they're
so cheap it often isn't worth the postage to do so.
All ports and switches are covered by the outer case of this shell too.
Perhaps it'll suit your needs.

Protective Case with Screen Protector
Hi. For years I've used Otterbox Defenders with my iPhone. I loved the
level of protection the case offered but the screen protectors were a
bit hit and miss in that most of them felt like there was a flimsy
plastic sheet hovering over the case. One Defender case I owned had a
perfect screen protector, which was perfectly flush with the case to
the point where you couldn't even feel it. However, the latest case I
bought this summer had the flimsy protector again and I just don't
care for the feel. Therefore, I'm asking for recommendations for a
case with similar protection but which has a nicer screen protector.
I'm wondering if I should just go with something like an Otterbox
Commuter with a Zag Invisible shield just for the screen.
