Does Otterbox have a less bulky design, but still the same protection in a case? I have Samsung Galaxy type phones.

How to Open the OtterBox Defender Case on Your Samsung Galaxy S4

How come mine comes off super easy I just barely pull it without any pressure and the snaps come right off. Makes me worried it's defective or something. I've only taken it apart like 16 times because of oil spots. But one of the snaps seem not to hold. And it's definitely not broken I've checked everything and everything is where it should be and nothing is warped.

Ileane Smith commented on 28 Jul 2015

+Billy Rosser Good for you! Sounds like they are making it easier to open now. Thanks for letting me know.

Billy Rosser commented on 27 Jul 2015

I am using the samsung galaxy s4 case for my s4 lol +Ileane Smith​

Ileane Smith commented on 27 Jul 2015

+Billy Rosser what size Otter box are you using? If you have the iPhone 6+ then it is much easier to open that one. As long as everything snaps in place when you close it, you are good to go!! Thanks for watching the video.

Pakoukers110 commented on 25 Jun 2015

Hey Lleane. Just wanted to let you know that I think you're handling harsh comments very well. I'm actually very impressed. Keep up the good work. 

Ileane Smith commented on 25 Jun 2015

+Pakoukers110 Thanks for your show of support my dear! It's ironic that this is my most popular video on YouTube and yet it's the ONLY one with negative comments and more thumbs down than thumbs up. :)

Rebecca Galardo commented on 06 Jun 2015

While people commenting are unnecessarily harsh and rude, they're correct. All you do is tell the viewer that they need a screwdriver. This is a visual medium and you need to show yourself using the screwdriver to open the case. I've never had an Otterbox before and have no idea what side to put the screwdriver in or if I just use it to push in tabs. While I wouldn't call the video useless or insult you, I would suggest being a little more step by step. Even if you think it's obvious, others may not. I STILL don't know how to open my case, lol.

Ileane Smith commented on 06 Jun 2015

+Rebecca Galardo Thanks so much for the feedback!! I'm not sure if you can hear the audio but right at the 1:04 timestamp I mention how to open case and show exactly where to insert the screwdriver tip. https://youtu.be/MoCeTc-46l0?t=1m4s I added the text overlay to indicate that you need to insert the screwdriver to release the tension clips. Did you notice that part? I hope that makes things more clear.

PCollen YT commented on 20 Apr 2015

Doesn't tell you ANYTHING except that you need a small screwdriver or similar tool.

Ileane Smith commented on 20 Apr 2015

+PCollen YT Exactly, that is the point of the video. You only need a small tool to open the Otterbox but you can't open it unless you have the tool handy (unless you want to break your fingernails). What were you expecting?

Kate Glenn commented on 12 Jan 2015

I always learn something from all your videos. Haters are gonna hate. I love your tutorials! BTW, I have a Defender OtterBox. Can I say opening it was one thing, having it actually protect my iphone 5c is another! It didn't. My screen shatters from a short fall out of my hands at less that 2.5' walking in the door. It feel flat on the ground and the screen shattered! FYI - there is no protection or warranty when the product fails to live up to the hype. Very expensive lesson. I'm so miffed. The implied insurance is just that. Save your $$

Ileane Smith commented on 12 Jan 2015

Hi +Kate Glenn thanks so much for your support!! I always appreciate your kind words and deeds. Such a shame you had that experience with Otterbox. I've dropped mine at least a dozen times and not a scratch yet ((fingers crossed)).

+julie renshaw So happy for you; I remember that feeling well! :)

Eben Visher commented on 27 Nov 2015

Thanks *so* much! Your video was the third hit at YouTube so I watched the other two first. Boy, were they useless! One had more negative thumbs than positive; I have no idea why Google (YouTube is Google) thought it should sort to the top.Finally I got to you and your explanation was marvelous! Thanks very much for taking your valuable time to share with us.

Barbara Jean commented on 27 Nov 2015

+Eben Visher Thank you for taking the time to comment! I'm glad that I could help. I find it humorous that my video has 48 negative thumbs; maybe they didn't like my pajamas...lol.

+Sue Hashem So frustrating! Glad I could help :)

Barbara Jean commented on 22 Jun 2015

Yikes! Glad I helped you out! :)

Rhonda Amerson commented on 05 May 2015

Thanks for saving me!!! Didn't want to hard reset the "black doom of death screen" in fears it would erase everything. I said I have that doohickey. So I removed the case to get to get the battery out. But geez that Otterbox is like Ft Knox! Very solid product

Barbara Jean commented on 22 Jun 2015

+Rhonda Amerson I agree! I got a new one recently (for my iPhone) and had a heck of a time removing it, too!

Corrina Chrysler commented on 22 Apr 2015

Thank you for this video. I lost the instructions that came with the installation and removal of the Otter box and have not had time, nor wanted to drive to my provider for a representative to assist. I was able to do this and now remember how. :) Have an awesome day. Great video. Straight to the point and helped handle the situation at hand. :)

prittyrican commented on 30 Mar 2015

Geeez!! Why didnt i watch this vid before about a zillion others. I agree with another commenter.. after watching this video I had the case off in seconds. The HUGE difference in this video and others is that it was suggested to flip the phone over before releasing the clips. After doing that they were much easier to release. Thank You for sharing !!!

masskilla469 commented on 10 Jan 2015

Case is really bulky also when using finger print unlock glass on the front of the otterbox scrapes your finger. Could not seem to get the clip to work as a stand keeps falling over. be warned when i tell you this case is bulky but will give you good protection but you must remove the phone at least ounce a week to clean it and check for moisture.

Tripletwin 212 commented on 22 Jul 2015

Thank you for saving my sanity. The credit card worked just fine. Too bad the Otter Box instructional video, put out by the company, did to contain that little tidbit. The inner case was almost as difficult to open. All this for $50!

Connie Sue commented on 15 Oct 2015

Video was good...just a little fast. Haven't watched other videos yet but if he talks this fast through them it will be a little hard to follow (I am new to smart phones so all information is new to me).

Christina Rabey commented on 15 Feb 2015

Thanks Guy. I was having a b*tch of a time trying to get this thing off. After watching your video had it off in seconds. Thanks again for keeping me from a frustrating afternoon.

Deanna Boswell commented on 04 Jun 2015

I would like to commend you on how well you taught how to put the Otterbox case on the Galaxy 5. I was very impressed! Thank you so much for your demonstration!

Mindy Patterson commented on 12 Oct 2015

Just got this phone and case today and I have to admit that this very was the prime definition of helpful. You just won yourself a subscriber.

Megan Winter commented on 04 Apr 2015

It gets really dusty under the case screen, gotta clean it out. Even after cleaning it out dust always gets on as I put it back on T_T

Alverna Tracht commented on 18 Aug 2015

The otterbox defender series case for the samsung galaxy s5 is awesome protection for my phone; easy to put on and take off. Love it

Khalid Ashkar commented on 11 Aug 2015

I think it's a very good case. The case provide protection to the phone and it was easy to install the phone in the outterbox case.

Carl Anderson commented on 15 Nov 2014

Very helpful. Unstalled and cleaned the Galaxy S5 easily. Moisture seems to get in at the bottom and mars the screen. Thanks.

Rusty R3volva commented on 22 Sep 2015

Thanks for the video. Now all I want to know is how to get rid of the air bubbles under the screen protector.

How To Uninstall Otterbox Defender Series Case For The iPad 2

User Comments

Jeff G commented on 05 Jan 2013

I've solved this if you have the one with the small tabs on the long corners. Step 1, remove the cover. Check. Step 2, remove the silicone component. Check. Now to the poly-carbonate shell removal. Fumble around, hyper extend a fingernail. Get screw driver. Destroy the poly-carbonate shell yet it continues to cling to the iPad. Launch the whole thing into a wall or out the window of a 30 story building. Head to the nearest Apple Store as you've now convinced yourself it's time to upgrade.

tits mcghee commented on 18 Mar 2013

ok guys, i literally just got done taking mine off... if you have a problem and you happen to have a guitar pick laying around, that works perfectly, just slide it under the clip and slide it off... if you dont have a pick laying around, some kind of hard plastic should suffice, a guitar pick works just perfect, so, just plastic about that thick... hope i helped

THE TDUD commented on 29 Sep 2013

it's pretty hard to uninstall cases these days, because they really need to be sturdy in order to pass with flying colors. Great uninstall and keep the videos coming. Iphone 5s gold, iphone 5 white, ps4, and beats pro. Really like the channel and the videos are professionally done. Keep up the great work.

Bryan Haugen commented on 20 Dec 2014

Thank you. I have to do the same soon with mine being I'm getting the iPad Air. It will be fun to see the iPad "naked" for it's been locked away inside the Otterbox Defender Series case for almost 3 years.

Greg Cremer commented on 11 Aug 2015

Thanks for taking the time to do this video. I used a small screwdriver to help pry the tabs up, but the arrows helped identify the direction. I literally got it apart before the end of the video.

Kathleen Theisen commented on 10 Jan 2013

Use the store loyalty cards on your key ring and slide them between the two pieces to open the 'locked' pieces. It works like a charm and won't damage the case or the iPad

Kathleen Theisen commented on 10 Jan 2013

I have the 'new iPad,' though, so my otterbox is slightly different than this. Those store loyalty cards work well to pop it open

I Found Fido commented on 08 Sep 2013

Omg i wish it was that easy to separate the front from the back on the iPad Mini o.o it took me 20 minutes to separate them

MrEUCT commented on 05 Nov 2015

you da man. I had two of these in my office from HQ and the mgr needed to see if we place asset tags on them or not.

Michael Fick commented on 08 May 2013

Great instructional video. This was much easier than the written instructions included in the box. Great job!

Jess Derlis commented on 04 Jan 2013

If you use a tiny flat head screwdriver you can wedge it under the corner to pop the sides off!

Nicholas Terrell commented on 17 Jul 2015

I understand how to take off the case but how the heck am I supposed to hard plastic off

thisisaspareusername commented on 30 Jan 2013

Love the case, but taking it off is a chore to say the least! My finger tips are bleeding!
