Otterbox Reflex iPhone 4 Case (Review)

[xdavstratx]

i heard this case scratches ure iphone my friend has had this problem have u had this problem cause i like the blue reflex for my 4s

[Joshstreater]

looks like a cool case!

[thetechfixer]

nice video MIKe

[lukes740]

1:50 - 1:59 , thats what she said

[Lorenzzzify]

Does this scratch the back of the phone?

[chickenwingpimp33]

@Lorenzzzify nope i have one, it has a sued-like interior to prevent that

[brothablack]

I own three of the cases mentioned, and the reflex is the best hands down! It messes a bit with your screen protector if you docking it in your car other than that it fits nicely in your pocket. But I'm leaning towards the new bookbook for iPhone as it kills two birds with one stone!

[smileymora]

what do yhu prefer?the defender or this one

[Micks610]

Would You Choose This One Over The Commuter ??

[MyNameIsYoursAnd]

What iPhone 4 case should I get that is sleek but protective

[greenblacfuldude]

Does it wreck screen protectors ?

[SmallAndDangerous9]

can beats by dre solo headphones fit in the headphone jack of an iphone 4 with this case on?

[duckydo111]

hey mike, does this case scratch the back of the iphone?

[cjx3pooh]

I just bought this for my iPhone 4S but the plastic doesn't fit perfectly and the white silicone gets dirty sooo easily -_-

[lonalona07]

what about protection if its dropped on the face

[threekill28]

but it would crack if fell face first right?

[ithree6mafia]

is this thicker then the incase slider for the iphone 4? someone please answer!

[ingabingalinga]

Yes this case is great. You can take off the bottom to charge it on a dock. Worth 44.99 but I got mine free because sprint messed up my order ( yes iPhone is now on sprint)

[Starkl3t]

@ingabingalinga It's already pretty well known that Sprint offers the iPhone...

[blackstrap3]

Does this case hav a rubbery inside or it is just plastic? I just don't want it to scratch up my phone.

[thecatsgonewild]

Will it fit with a full body shield on?

[TheAppleMicrosoft]

what kind of screen protector is that on your iphone?

[sexysurfer499]

this case scratches my iphone 4 on the back. not cool.

[minnesota573]

How much grip does this case have?

[baseballhunter99]

its a little stiff..... THATS WHAT SHE SAID!

[vitaltitles]

Display I mean, oops.

[vitaltitles]

@DunkrusRS - Easy, I'm a klutz and as much as I love the retina display of my phone, all it would take is one drop from any other case onto my ceramic tile floor to turn my pretty unprotected display into a cracked mess. So yes, it does take away SOME of the beauty, but at the same time it still looks great, better than most other phones, and I know that even if/when I DO drop it, which I've done a few times now, my phone is going to stay in stellar condition. That's worth more to me than hav

[vitaltitles]

Really impressed with the review on this, I was just coming in for a quick comparison, but your review was well thought out, you didn't run on too much and the end comparison was great. I have the defender and was looking at the Reflex for an alternative case because, well, there's lots of frustrating bits with the defender. Seeing the line-up side by side it shows that if I want to take a step down, it would have to be to the Commuter, rather than the Reflex. Know that this review really, R

[honda0105]

I've had this case for a week now, and I can thoroughly recommend it. It feels solid, is pretty much unobtrusive insofar as it doesn't add too much bulk to the phone and the screen protector which is provided is so much better than the Zagg which I had fitted before.

If you're unsure, well I say go for it. It may cost £29.99 but it's a small price to pay to protect your iphone4.

[omfgwtfisthis26]

i have a white defender case it looks fucking epic and it would survive a fucking bomb its so fucking great look how fucking much im fucking swearing fucking fuck

[DunkusRS]

@omfgwtfisthis26 why buy defender for iphone 4... that case kills the 'retina' display. most screen protecters do.

[MetaTechnology1]

The Commuter would offer no where near the amount of impact absorption that the Reflex has. And I've seen a lot of gaps in the Commuter where the plastic section meets with the silicone, particularly at the top and bottom.

[MetaTechnology1]

I'd rate the Reflex above the Commuter in terms of protection, and Otterbox themselves prove that. Where you might be mislead is that the Commuter has covers for the dock port and the headphone jack. Big deal. The Reflex doesn't have the looseness in the silicone that the Commuter has above and below the plastic on the sides, because it's one piece.

[southpawknives]

Would this case be compatible with the verizon iphone 4?

[App5353]

if you wanted to plug it into the apple dock, could you just take off the bottom part and leave the top part on? or would you have to take the whole case off?

[Lilwidge93]

Great review, buy as with others, I happen to disagree with the protection order...

The website says it is between the commuter and defender and outlined why - the crumple zone spreads impact out. This is to say that the shock protection is better than the commuter, not perhaps it's overall ruggedness (dustproof etc)

It has two layers like the commuter, but built together. Your opinion is, of course, your own, but it might be worth considering :)

[garyadamsjr]

I would put them in the same order u have as far as protection goes saying that the commuter case offers mire protection then the reflex case that's why I can't see otterbox justifying a $44 dollar price tag for the reflex when the commuter is only $34

[mafiosiboyz]

Much better than the Impact and Commuter. If I couldn't get the defender or was after a slightly lower profile case, I'd definitely choose this one. Nice.

[itsjustsexxx]

is the Reflex larger or smaller than the Commuter?

[wwwinsanelygreatmac]

@itsjustsexxx smaller, there it's shown in the video.

[MicroApple9210]

@wwwinsanelygreatmac how do u get to reveiw and keep the stuff they send u for free

[lions4hg]

The otterbox website tech specs says the reflex protects better against drops than the commuter. Just pointing that out, I loved the review.

[lions4hg]

Do you know if these will be sold in apple stores?

[yuprulesing]

I prefer the other Otter defender it covers the screen but allows you to use it through it without using a screen protector.

[Dirkolino]

The Protection is between defender and commuter!

Video Fail!

[wwwinsanelygreatmac]

@Dirkolino That's just opinion. I think otherwise and supported why.

[Moonface00z]

@Dirkolino

agree

[MacFixIt101]

Does this cause glass-gate?

[Moonface00z]

This case is good ..

This is the only case otterbox produce a TPU

But it does not work with phone that is already installed by other companies screen shield

Unless the screen shield is smaller than the screen to prevent bubbles.

i give it 2 / 5

[wwwinsanelygreatmac]

@Moonface00z I was using a third-party screen protector in the review. You don't have to use their screen protector.

[rapaleeman]

@wwwinsanelygreatmac While it may not bubble yours it destroyed my PS Crystal and it destroyed theirs that came with it too. I was able to get a Monoprice working. Those are that thinnest on the market from what I can tell.

Besides those I have no clue which ones will work. Mine were also installed perfectly. Unfortunately I have had way too much practice.

[Synchable]

@rapaleeman Using the PS Anti-Glare on mine and fits just fine. Bubbles up a little bit while putting the case in but after that, really works out well.

[Moonface00z]

@wwwinsanelygreatmac

I heard they did some adjustments in their new batch ..

But does it work with SGP screen protectors ?

[thesquarehorn]

@wwwinsanelygreatmac Can you tell me what the third pary screen protector brand was that worked with the reflex case?

[thesquarehorn]

@wwwinsanelygreatmac Can you tell me what brand of third party screen protector you used?

[72bangsat]

still love my defender....it's great ..:)

[Barricade72]

Ok cool!

[Jferrari427]

Mike, do you know if there any cases like these that are protective that show the apple logo? Thanks

JB

[MacFixIt101]

@Jferrari427 All otterbox cases other than the reflex

[72bangsat]

@Jferrari427 Otterbox Defender ...it show the apple logo....

[wwwinsanelygreatmac]

@Jferrari427 Yup, all Otterbox cases have a logo cutout except for the Reflex reviewed here. See the comparison towards the end,

[blackberrylover111]
