The Defender Series is a classic OtterBox design that combines three layers of rugged protection that removes fear from the unavoidable drop, bump or scratch to the device. The two-piece inner polycarbonate layer snaps together around the iPhone or Galaxy S III while a built-in screen protector guards against scratches to the touchscreen. The outer silicone slipcover fits around the inner shell to absorb impact. The Defender Series comes with a holster-style swivel belt-clip for convenient carrying and doubles as a kickstand.
