I was finally to open my iPhone case, despite watching this video over and over about 12 times over 10 minutes. This video is terrible. Please don't any more instructional videos, you're really bad at it. That is, unless you're just trying to screw with us by wasting our time opening our goddamn iPhones. In that case, well played.
Thank you so much for putting this on YouTube! I had just purchased an Otterbox Defender in bulk packaging....I had no idea how to open it to put the phone in. Your video made it so easy! Thank you!!
Sorry I haven't read everybody's post (in case this has been answered already), but has anyone encountered problems getting the case to snap together as easily with the iPhone inside as it does when empty? It's as if my iPhone is just a smidge too long for the case to snap around it. I see how it's supposed to fit, but can't quite get the darn hard plastic case to actually "encase" the thing. It fits together fine as long as there's not a pesky iPhone in the way!
Thank you so much for posting this video, I received my case today and my husband said oh jeesh you bought a case without instructions lol.. He said google how to open it and wala there you are telling us how to open it. Thank you for the know how :)
Thanks for this. It would have been frustrating to follow written instructions for installing the cover. So much easier when you can see it happening. Much appreciated!
The case will pop out of that belt holster in a minute, advice it too remove the rubber outside case and maybe even the hard plastic case and go with just the bare iPhone!! I have had this case for about 6 months and almost lost my iPhone because of that stupid belt holster set up!! Also, the Griffin cigarette USB charger will not work when the case is on the phone!! The Otterbox USB are of the case is tight and it seems only the official Apple USB plug will work on this case!!
@Zoe castillo.. To open the otterbox hard case your iPhone is in .. #1, be patient lol, it's not easy dealing with this case.
#2, with the iPhone facing away from you (so you can see the lens of the camera) there are three little connectors. The first two you want to undo are halfway up on the right and left on the sides, and the other one to undo is on the top middle. Undo those three and you'll be good to go.
@jerichofanforlife I totally agree! This was an awesome video for me. I got mine shipped without the instructions and was helpless until I viewed this video. BrickSh0t7 was very good at explaining the technical aspects of it while not making me nervous to work on mine. I want to thank him for his help.
I swear to fucking God that this case is fucking impossible to open again after you put your iPhone inside. My fingers are bleeding from trying to snap it open and I've had no success yet.
To reopen, it is simple, first use a small Tweezers (those for plucking eyebrows). to elaborate, Tweezers make use of two third-class levers connected at one fixed end (the fulcrum point of each lever)
then, use ONE of the levers which will usually fit into any of the 3 gaps( the 3 main points are located at the top and one on each side) of the inner otterbox(the hard plastic part) where you are supposed to ply open.
Once you have one of the level in any of the 3 main points, push the lever of the tweezers in the direction pointing towards you, in other words, push the lever of the tweers downwards, you will hear a click sound which indicates the otterbox is opened on part you have tried opening, apply the same method to the other 2 points of the otterbox. you can open it in less then a second.
i want to get an iphone and i know this case is very durable my friend has one it survived a 10-foot drop believe me this case is da bomb...and can probably survive one =)
Baught this case and it is in fact the best case available on the iPhone case market! I have wasted money on 19 other cases... including the incase slider. The incase slider was the best out of the 19 but the problem was that the black soft layer came off very easily. The otterbox is the best case! It is the most protective and the most sylish case. I feel like i am a spy because of how the case looks! I would buy it 50 more times if i had to! Buy it! Nice how to.
No More Water Marks Trick , you need to use apple powersupport screen protecters "anyone will do, i applied screen protecter on iphone w/case> Still had water marks in fact more! So i used the hard plastic throw away protectors , that actual protects the sceen protecters when packaged ! i cut the hard plactic to fit inside the case " it just sits inside no stickty stuff to worry about , just trim to fit tight inside the ottorbox screen ! THIS DOES WORK NO MORE WATER SPOTS , NOW I CAN SLEEP!!!!
just got mine i love it, but the watermark kills me, i havent tried the baby powder solution i may try it, as the watermark is a nightmare for me...but it isn't as bulky as i thought it would be
excellent review!! Exactly what I use my otterbox for.. when i'm outside working on my car... also works great for when you're doing anything outdoorsy.. hiking etc..
Does the Otterbox defender case for Iphone 3g also fit a Iphone 3g "S"?
