Really robust phone case

I'm a clumsy so and so and drop my phone a lot. I'm about to upgrade my phone and want to get a shockproof case to try to protect it. I've heard Otterbox is good but I'm not sure which one?

It's for an iPhone 11.

I've previously had an Otterbox Strada case and now have a very similar Shieldon case. Have dropped phones multiple times on hard floors and never damaged!

I use a leather case that protects the whole screen. Never had a broken one yet.

A bit like this one. torro.co.uk/products/iphone-x-xs-leather-case-with-stand-function-1-card-slot-side-magnetic-closure

Snakehive

Otterbox have always done me proud, never had a cracked screen. Used to have a Defender, but them moved to Symmetry

I've now actually got some kind of cheap silicon case which looks a bit like a Symmetry one, which seems to be working well too.

Speck cases are most definitely very robust. I've had them on my iPhones for years and have dropped them on all sorts of surfaces, even face down on concrete from a height with never any damage.

Snakehive plus a screen protector

CrystalFlyer · 31/03/2021 18:42

Get a screen protector as well! My iphone case has bumpers and I have a screen protector on it. It has survived being dropped face down on the floor multiple times!

Otter box, I dropped my iPhone face down on the garage forecourt and it survived. I have this

Thanks everyone, will definitely get a screen protector too.

Otterbox and a glass screen protector and I've never broken a screen yet (and I am notorious for flinging my phone around)

I always flinch at the cost when I upgrade my phone, but have always sucked it up.

Twilightstarbright · 31/03/2021 21:11

@Champagneforeveryone which otterbox cover?

I'm very clumsy and always have a Spigen Neo hybrid They also do a tough rubbery one rugged armour I think it's called

uncomfortablydumb53 · 31/03/2021 22:58

Otter box defender is marketed as the " rugged" one

Champagneforeveryone · 01/04/2021 07:44

I've just checked and it's Otterbox Symmetry. Smile

HMIT · 01/04/2021 07:58

Spigen have been good for me for years.

My phone was recently run over by cars on a busy road after falling out of my pocket. Screen smashed due to pressure and stones but the glass back and sides were fine. Phone repair man couldn’t believe the phone still worked.

eurochick · 01/04/2021 08:02

I have an otterbox and it is a really good design.

Ionacat · 01/04/2021 08:14

Another vote for Otterbox. They’re not cheap, but are really rugged.

Defender90 · 01/04/2021 08:18

DH uses a Gorilla case, it's been fantastic, very robust and has taken a lot of abuse over the years.

Twilightstarbright · 02/04/2021 19:18

Thank you everyone

I love Lifeproof. They are a subsidary of Otterbox I think but nicer cases IMO. Never had an issue ever.
