OtterBox Defender iPod Touch 5th Gen Case (77-25108) - Black

I'd like to first say that I am an Otterbox fan for the cases I've bot for Apple products. Unfortunately, the cases that I bought for mine and miy daughters Galaxy S3 were a bit of a let down. After just a couple of months of use, her outer layer was stretched and looked pretty ragged. I thought it was just because of her not taking care of it properly. I bought a black Defender case and in less than a month, mine was just as bad. By the time I stopped using it, I think the only thing holding it on was the protected cover piece for the usb port. I do place my phone in my pocket instead of using the belt clip but the case didn't even last 3 months.

I love this case, however I bought it because I also have the armor which is basically everything "proof" but the sound quality is not so great, due to the completely insulated case. So I bought this case for everyday use, when I'm not at a job site. This case defender, is great for everyday usage however the screen protector has openings for front facing camera and home screen button. Which allows dust, dirt, etc. between the screen protector and the phone. No way to really avoid this issue though, easy enough fix just open the case take front off and clean in it and the phone face. Only down fall which is why I gave it a average.

The OtterBox definitely protects my SIII to the max. Working in a warehouse, I've had it banged around, dropped, and multiple other things. The OtterBox protected it to the fullest. The only issue I've got with it is the size. The OtterBox's are definitely not for having in your front pocket, nor any pocket for that matter. The only way I've been able to carry mine is with the holster or by letting my wife carry it in her purse. It turned my slim SIII into a rather large brick. The case does add the extra weight as well. If you want to protect your SIII, I don't believe there is any other case that will do a better job. Just be prepared for the extra bulk.
