Otter Box Defender case for 8 Plus

Good evening, list.



I finally bought my Otter Box Defender case for my 8 Plus today. I was
shown how to work with it in the store but don't remember everything
apparently. I should note I had a lot of stress because I had an incident
where I was using my bank's ATM as the branch was closed, and had to go to
another branch across town to get cash and get my check card replaced with a
temporary because I couldn't get it back from the machine.



I went to my A. T. & T. store and bought the case and had a couple technical
issues checked, namely the visual voice mail issue I mentioned a few days
ago, which turned out to be fine; apparently it hadn't fully updated along
with the iOS update, but it's fine now.



The problem I am having is finding and manipulating the latch consistently
and intentionally that allows for both removal from the holster and
placement back into it. I was fine working with it in the store, but when I
got home I had trouble. I remembered how to manipulate the belt clip, but
couldn't find the latch for the phone that is inside the case. Then when I
took it all off my belt, mysteriously it popped open. I got it put together
but I'm not sure I did it right.



I don't want to on the one hand break it trying to find that latch, or have
it pop open unintentionally because it isn't secure.



I tried to call the store but the number I had might be for one salesperson
and not the store itself.

Oh, Bill, I had that kind with my 4S, used it as a selling point for the phone, but I don't ever want another one like that. I think you'll get it, just easy does it, don't work too hard at it like most everything with the phone itself.

I never really learned to use the 4S, like I have the SE, but I did manage that case. Then my husband had the phone for a while, and he didn't like the case, said it was too bulky for such a little phone, and I agreed with him.

When I got my SE, Consumer Cellular had a silicone case kind of like we have with the Victor Reader stream, only fitted for the phone. I put it right on and am especially careful with the screen, since it did not have a screen protector. I kind of like the feel of the real screen though.

Best regards,

Carolyn

If you get a good glass screen protector you'll never know the difference between it and the actual screen.

What frame? They are stil thin and work with any thin case you have on your phone.
I would definitely recommend to ask at the Apple Store to have it installed though, putting on a screen protector is a precise operation and while I am not saying a blind person can't do it, it is one of these things a sighted person can do better especially one at a store who has done it maybe dozens or hundreds of times. I had mine put on I think 2 years ago or even longer and it's still absolutely perfect.

Oh, Bill, I had that kind with my 4S, used it as a selling point for the phone, but I don't ever want another one like that. I think you'll get it, just easy does it, don't work too hard at it like most everything with the phone itself.

I never really learned to use the 4S, like I have the SE, but I did manage that case. Then my husband had the phone for a while, and he didn't like the case, said it was too bulky for such a little phone, and I agreed with him.

When I got my SE, Consumer Cellular had a silicone case kind of like we have with the Victor Reader stream, only fitted for the phone. I put it right on and am especially careful with the screen, since it did not have a screen protector. I kind of like the feel of the real screen though.

Best regards,

Carolyn

Subject: Otter Box Defender case for 8 Plus

Good evening, list.



I finally bought my Otter Box Defender case for my 8 Plus today. I was shown how to work with it in the store but don’t remember everything apparently. I should note I had a lot of stress because I had an incident where I was using my bank’s ATM as the branch was closed, and had to go to another branch across town to get cash and get my check card replaced with a temporary because I couldn’t get it back from the machine.



I went to my A. T. & T. store and bought the case and had a couple technical issues checked, namely the visual voice mail issue I mentioned a few days ago, which turned out to be fine; apparently it hadn’t fully updated along with the iOS update, but it’s fine now.



The problem I am having is finding and manipulating the latch consistently and intentionally that allows for both removal from the holster and placement back into it. I was fine working with it in the store, but when I got home I had trouble. I remembered how to manipulate the belt clip, but couldn’t find the latch for the phone that is inside the case. Then when I took it all off my belt, mysteriously it popped open. I got it put together but I’m not sure I did it right.



I don’t want to on the one hand break it trying to find that latch, or have it pop open unintentionally because it isn’t secure.



I tried to call the store but the number I had might be for one salesperson and not the store itself.
