    Otter box.

    I’ve dropped mine from the cab multiple time. Not a scratch on it. Works great.

    To give you an idea of how good they really are. I gave an IPhone 6 to my SO. It had been in an Otter box for over a year. She took it out because of the size. Then went for a new SIM card.

    The girl at the counter ask her where she had bought her new phone. And was blown away to find out it was over a year old. It’s that good. ;)

    I bought Zagg glass to put over the screen. It gets cracked. Contact the company and they willl send a new one. I put the glass on before I bought the Otter Box. I had trouble using the touch screen-no response. I went into setting and changed the sensitivity of the screen. That helped but still not great. So I took a razor knife and removed the clear plastic from the Otter Box. No longer waterproof but I have a clearer screen w/o plastic over it. Just relaying the experience. When needed I will buy another Otter Box in a heartbeat. And a Zagg glass. My phone takes too much unintentional abuse.

    Yeah. Otter Box makes the best. But it will add some size to your phone but you won't get any better overall protection. The built in clear cover over the screen allows good touch accuracy. Not 100% but still rarely a problem except occasionally right out on the extreme edges. Occassionly I will find myself touching a link twice to get it to recognize

    I use the model with the snap-in holder (Defender?) for my iPhone 8+. You can also still stick a Steelie Magnet to the cover and a ball to your dash

    And these allow you to mount on a dash where you made need some clearance to get out away from gauges or other things in the dash area you have available, and are available at Loves. Get the bigger one (for tablets) if you have a bigger phone.

    I use an otter box commuter. It’s thinner than the defender but I’ve dropped my phone tons of times.
