Does this case protect against drops as well as the Otterbox (the Defender, specifically) does? I am tied between the two!

Yes it does, but I don't know if it protects the cell from a fall or drop like the Otterbox does. I love it and have had many compliments on this case!

luvitt clear view protects from scratch and keep the appearance of I phone5s and not hide it as otter box does.it also protects against accidental drops.but I don't how to compare between the two about the drops unless u test it under similar circumstances

Flat out, no. This case gives protection, but no as much as the cases that you mention

I haven't owned an otterbox case. So I can't comment on how this Luvvit case compares to that. I like how sleek the Luvvit case is. I bought an extended warranty for my phone - just in case it's damaged from a hard fall.

I did't try an otter box so I'm not sure I can compare, however I would say it is fairly bulky. It certainly does give protection, my husband has the same Blason and has dropped it on the corner and it did it's job, no damage to the phone.

the OtterBox is the best case ever for dropping etc, but it is not waterproof.I buy OtterBox for all my electrinics, and they may offer one for cell phones that is waterproof, but hte model I bought is not. Hope this helps.

It does protect it somewhat. I've dropped my phone a couple times and it was fine. It's not at bulky as the otterbox so I assume if your phone lands face down on something hard the screen might break. My case actually cracked at the bottom from plugging it in all the time. I'm a little rough on things. It's a great case for the appearance. I wouldn't bank on it to keep your phone 100% safe.

I am not very familiar with the otter box case. A friend of mine has one and from what I've seen his case offers more protection especially if the phone is dropped.

I would not consider it as durable as an otter box defender or equivalent. However, for as sleek as it is, it does offer suffice protection. I've dropped mine several times and have had no trouble thus far.

Personally I think this shield is excellent, and I have a minimal case, the Serendipity by Otterbox as opposed to the Defender, which is sturdier and bigger, and I've dropped mine without even a scratch or anything. It is tempered glass and very strong and also so easy to clean.

I drop this thing at least 3 times a day(most recently from 10 foot bleachers onto a concrete floor) and I have never had a problem. I do have a fairly pricey screen protector I got from ATT ($30 bucks but worth it) however. This case is really good and if you haven't already bought an otterbox, don't.

well I would post that probably better equipped to answer that than I. Defender is more expensive so you gotta figure the drop protection is better but personally I think you'd have be awfully rough on a phone for it to provide much added benefit

Hey Rachel, I recently broke the front screen when my iphone had fallen on hard surface (facing front screen). This cover could still protect if it had fallen facin bak surface. So this is definitely not comparable to Otterbox.

Yes, the otterbox is just your protection case. My current shield is holding strong and I've changed boxes a few times. Just remember to put your shield on first then your otterbox.

So far... Yes. The Otterbox is on my daughters iPhone and she is very active. Dropped a couple of times with no damage. To date the Otterbox stands up to its reputation.I hope this helps with your inquiry.

No it will protect I dropped my phone plenty of times with this case and it never broke or cracked.

Mine has provided adequate protection from normal drops onto asphalt, carpet, and tile (falling off my lap when I get out of the car, or falling out of my pocket because girl jeans' pockets are small). I'm not familiar with the Otterbox Prefix, but the one I had on my old 3GS was definitely more substantial (and Bulky!) than the incipio. I used an Otterbox for field work, but now I use my Incipio all the time for "normal" wear and tear.

Hi Nessa, I actually never looked at the Otterbox Defender case. Decided to buy the lifeproof case after lots of research on the net. For our ipad 2 we bought a cheaper brand that claimed to do the same thing as the Lifeproof case. Unfortunately didn't even come close to the Lifeproof case. The Lifeproof case does everything it says it does and we like that it isn't bulky. We are really happy with our purchase. Hope this helps. Kathy

I haven't had an Otterbox so I can't compare them. A friend of mine has one for the Droid Ultra and he loves it. I don't have any complaints about this case. I have gotten the screen wet and it came out of that great.

I am in agreement with Jessica. THe otterbox is bulkier than this case. My husband had the defender and it is definitely thicker than this one.
