Builder-Grade Smartphone Protection
The biggest surprise is how the textured slipcover prevents the user from bobbling the phone when retrieving it from a tool belt or pocket.
Given the nearly $700 price tag on my new smartphone, I wanted to give it every possible chance to survive a drop. Based on feedback from fellow carpenters, I bought an Otterbox Defender case. The setup consists of three components: a holster with a rotating belt clip, a hard protective internal case, and a rubberlike cover with a textured grip. The internal case has a clear-plastic screen protector.
Although I’m not really into the holster (not pictured), which doubles as a stand for watching videos, the rest of the setup is great. The biggest surprise is how the textured slipcover prevents me from bobbling the phone when I’m retrieving it from my tool belt or pocket. I also like how the screen protector saves the glass from construction grime and gritty fingers. What’s even better is all of the phone’s controls and connectors are unhampered. Prices start at about $30.

I also want to bought an Otterbox Defender case.Will you plz suggest me if any?
I've become a real fan of the Otterbox Defender. It's a welcome antidote to phone manufacturers' thinness obsession (I like having something substantial to grip), and I find the clip-on holster to be a great asset. With or without a tool belt, my phone is always handy on my pants belt. And when the screen protector got worn (as plastic always will eventually), I just removed it. Because the phone normally faces my pants, the screen stays clean and safe from abuse.
Sprint has a nearly indestructible phone by Kyocera, the Torque mine has survived a 20' drop, a 3' dunking in really nasty water, and general abuse.
Other carriers have similar phones. buy a heavy duty phone not a case.
