How to identify counterfeit Otterbox Samsung Galaxy Defender Cases

Otterbox: Samsung Galaxy Defender Cases

Product Image

Product Information:

OtterBox is the #1 seller of cases for smartphones. But, along with success comes imitation and Otterbox is no exception. The Otterbox Defender is a highly counterfeited item available through internet websites.

OtterBox manufactures rugged cases for Samsung Galaxy phones and other smartphones to help you protect your phone investment. Cheap counterfeit cases do not provide that protection for your phone.

Never make internet purchases from unverified vendors using stock (manufacturers) catalog photos. If you want to risk an internet purchase, always insist the seller provide pictures of the actual item and packaging. Items labeled as un-packaged "New" items, and claims that items were purchased in bulk without packaging are good indications the item is counterfeit.

Be wary that counterfeit products may be returned by dishonest people seeking refunds from legitimate retail stores. Returned products are often returned to inventory. When in doubt about any OtterBox product, contact OtterBox or visit the OtterBox website for information on OtterBox products.
