Dear OtterBox: Your Defender phone case is incredible. Last night I accidently dropped my phone in a campfire and didn't notice for more than 2 minutes. The case is melted and my phone had an overheating warning but it is perfectly fine. Thanks for saving my dumb ass!

This.... Is why all of my devices have OtterBox Cases on them.

Dropped my phone, it did its best Naruto corkscrew ninja ramen flip, hit 17 things in the way down... completely unscathed. Otterbox rules.

I have had an otterbox on my last two phones, my Note 2 died before the otterbox did.

I used to ride a motorcycle my phone would fall on the street get runover by a couple of cars & I would only have to replace the otterbox

I got an otterbox for my last 3 phones. They all last at least 2 years unharmed, tho I drop my shit on the regular. Hooray otterbox

Looks like it actually had a Galaxy S7 inside of it...

I've had otter boxes for all my phones. They have saved me many times. They are definitely worth the money

My otterbox saved my life or at least saved me from a lot of pain and a hospital trip. I do stage combat(think movie swordfights). I had (1)

a sword going right for my chest, had phone in shirt pocket, phone took the brunt of the hit, broke the otterbox but saved me and my phone(2

I also have an otterbox case on my work phone, its survived being thrown against concrete walls full force at least 100 times

I love my OtterBox defender case too. Good to know they're as good as they claim to be.

Otter box saves my iPhone getting dropped on the concrete floor of Home Depot

I love my OtterBox defender case too. Fortunately I have not done anything stupid, but I'm glad to know they really work.

I once accidentally threw a 20 lb rock on my phone. OtterBox case was shattered but my phone was fine.

There are approx. 108 Bananas in 20 pounds. (beep boop ima bot)

My phone was once trampled by a stampede of fiery demons. OtterBox was pretty messed up but my phone was fine!

I have the middle heavy Otterbox. I've dropped my phone maybe 50 times on hard surface. It's fine.
MarshmallowFluffernutterPie
I thought it saved you from a bullet in the first picture.

2 minutes??? not much of a campfire.

I had dropped it at the edge in a pile of embers haha

biggest campfire ive ever seen was at a large boyscout function. legit logs stacked square loghouse style. kindling in the middle.

My town has a huge fire every Bonfires night, and last year the woodpile was 3 metres tall, and 7 in across. It was also covered in diesel.

5(6?) feet tall or so

I have Galaxy S5 w/Otterbox Defender. Dropped it on concrete, bounced down stairs, etc. Worth every penny of the $50 for the case when new.

And yet, after loading bails of hay for a customer at work I proceeded to find stands of hay underneath the screen cover of my Defender. Wth

Gotta give it up for Samsung too though, I dropped my S3 in hot grease and it barely still survived even after being submerged for 2 min.
Ivegotsomethinginmyfrontpocketforyou
I say barely because the liquid still short circuited the main speaker.

Yuuuup. My very first smartphone was a Note 7. Returned it and bought a refurb S5 for 1/4 the cost, does everything I need.

Update: On Facebook they said thanks for sharing and they're glad they could help my phone not be a s'more. Guess I am buying a new one. :p

Boooo
Galfronon
You should probably replace the battery in your phone just to be safe, they don't like extreme heat and are pretty dangerous when damaged
yexy
I hadn't thought about that, thanks for the heads up!
HitlersArtCritic
Do you wanna turn your Galaxy S5 into a Galaxy Note 7?

Bikini Atoll Nuclear Tests, it was only after these test that the dangers of Nuclear weapons were truly understood. 1/2

In the end over $150 million dollars in compensation have been paid, and 2800 Atoll native/descendant lives have been affected. 2/2

What a horrific legacy, and all in the pursuit of finding more efficient ways of killing each other.
paralleluniversepam
Seems like that would make an interesting individual post!
Galfronon
Nah, we didn't know so it was innocent right? The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few so 2800 vs 7 billion is nothing right?
XxPUSSYSLAYER69NOSCOPERxX
But didn't loads of people get cancer from the Hiroshima and Nagaski bombings?
Galfronon
Yes, and also from the Manhattan project detonation at Los Alamos, and the Bikini Atoll detonations, but no one talks about those.
ImFunnierThanYallGiveMeCreditFor
You should tweet this to them. I'll bet they replace it for you
bkcantthinkofanythingclever
They will, those should have a lifetime warranty. I've gotten at least 3 different cases replaced, no questions, just want pic of damage
sydneyisonfire
Support the company and buy another one.
DogGirlinCatWorld
They already have a great warranty program. All you need is the serial number and the date you bought it and they send you a new case 1/2
DogGirlinCatWorld
No questions asked. Source: I have had two warranties fulfilled.
ezirb
Why tweet? Their warranty program is so good, they replace the case if the outer shell stretches out.
timbacca
They did exactly that for me, for a case they hadn't produced in years.
JustAGamerDreamin
They might send you something, they're pretty awesome. But I doubt they can replace it, they only carry cases for like a year and a half.
JustAGamerDreamin
My note 3's defender case is looking really sad, but they can't give me a new one =(
LadyWidebottom
I have the same problem with my Note 4 case. Check if anybody has one on ebay.
Lizeih
I work for a second hand electronics store and we stock them, pretty cheap as well. We're both in the US and UK. Search up webuy
Lizeih
They're pretty cheap too. Hope this helps =)
thesurlymermaid
They will definitely replace it. My step mom had a case crack or break after dropping it. She sent them a pic and explanation. Sent a new 1
thesurlymermaid
Might not be the exact model you have. But they seem to have awesome customer service. Worth a try. Plus their product saved your phone!
babaroga73
They saved him a couple of 100$ already, for the new phone and data... tweet it , but don't milk it.
yexy
I don't have a twitter account, but that would be really nice. It was my own stupidity that fucked it up though heh.
itrymybesttooffendsomeone
Make one, ya just need an email
BANANAFLAKE
The PR from this is worth far more to them than it would cost to give you a new case.
ButCanHeDoItOnAColdRainyNightAtStoke
This is quality PR advertisement. Try get this to them on a page where others can see. They'll love you for it.
sanaujiram
Could just make a twitter
LiquidMilk
It's a win-win, the publicity they get will give them a hard-on for generations, and you get a replacement!
fatdaddy777
Call em. They send you a new one. They sent me 2 because they knew it was being discontinued
Ginnaty
Dude lifetime warranty, they'll retrace it
ImFunnierThanYallGiveMeCreditFor
Try their facebook page. Companies love testimonials like this
NeoAcario
Free, genuine public testimonials get PR people hot and bothered. It's better than anything you can pay for.
yexy
On it! Thanks for the suggestion!
veritas1980
I went and looked on their FB and didn't see your photos. DOIT
random6690
If you go to their website, you can literally send them this pic and address and they will send you a new one. I've done it before
lostparrot42
OtterBox has a warranty. They will send you a new one, just pay shipping. Google OtterBox warranty.
bud467
I thought it was a year warranty now...
allmostthere1234
Yes. ive been through about 8 over the years and at first they where lifetime,now 1yr. Source:Experience
allmostthere1234
Different phones;only had to do claim on 2 cases.1st case they replaced,2nd "it was outside a yr"per OTTERBOX
bud467
yeah ive been trough three but now the warrenty is past on my new case for my new phone and i want it replaced but i cant
Iamlordofspuds
Can confirm they will replace for warranty
RatToofus
I replaced mine for maybe $4 - their website warranty section is very easy
pilotperson
That sounds awesome...do warranties usually cover acts of negligence, though?
chefsoda
NO, but the PR value to OtterBox makes it worth it to them
DogGirlinCatWorld
They don't ask what happened
