Hi everyone...
Thank you all for being kind and welcoming. I've read other forums before, searching for answers, and for some odd reason I don't understand... Some people are mean when they have no reason to be.
Haha.
Anyway, to anyone who doesnt have an otterbox I highly recommend one. I have the defender series bc I'm clumsy. I've literally dropped my phone from a distance of about 4 1/2 feet. All it did was get the outer part of the otterbox a little dirty. It doesn't protect it from water, although they do have other ob series. You can read about them at otterbox(dot)com. They have them for everything apple. You can also buy them off eBay. Whoever invented them should get an award or a gold metal or something. Just plain genius!!
Have a great day!!
