As more manufacturers crank out durable cases, the designs become confusing to differentiate. Here’s a side-by-side size comparison between the three. I don’t have any user experience regarding audio quality nor durability. These photos are strictly to show off the rugged good looks of the Seidio OBEX, LifeProof fre and OtterBox Armor Series and help you see the size differences. All the photos are clickable for super-sized fun.
The links above are my Amazon affiliate links. OtterBox provided the case, while the Seidio and LifeProof were prizes from CES.
Have you used all of them yet? Which do you like the most?
The OtterBox feels like the toughest build and it’s also the largest. The LifeProof and Seidio feel like similar quality, but there are design decisions on the Seidio that I don’t like. For example, there’s an easy to lose grommet for the mute switch that should not have been made that way. I’d go with the OtterBox or LifeProof and wait for the Seidio redesign, though I think their Active case is spectacular.
