I have had my Defender for about 3 months, and it has not stretched yet. Like previously stated, the Defender is made with new materials that are much more durable than previous versions. Also...I change up my cases...not a TON, but it's definitely been on and off my phone numerous times with no issues. It still fits snugly, I am pleased to report
If it does stretch out, call Otterbox. They have excellent customer service. I had my iPhone 4 defender case replaced 3 times over the course of a year. In fact, the reps insisted that if it stretched out, I should call back, so I did, and they'd overnight a new case to me (just the silicone part).
Hey, I had the same problem with my iPhone 4, threw the Otterbox out a few months of usage. I have since found a great case for my iPhone 5 ( http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Rocketf...22.p?id=1218734720902&skuid=6424122&sellerId= ) which, coupled with a screen protector, makes the device secure and clean. A coolyet probably unintended featureis that when you activate flash notifications, the whole case shines

That's not even close to the protection an otterbox offers.
Does the silicone get loose after a while? Or from removing the case? I have removed it a couple times to clean dust out and try and fix the rainbow effect. Will that stretch it out?

If the whole case shines you are probably going to have issues when you take flash pictures..

If you are so paranoid or clumsy that you "require" an otterbox defender case, then damage to a phone is the least of your problems.
Really? So you think that there is no other reason to need or want the protection except that a person is paranoid or clumsy?
So people, I guess not you, are in environments where they actually work for a living.
Brilliant analogy. If you work, you must have an otterbox. Logic sucks.
Why do you need a case as massive as the Otterbox, doesn't it ruin the whole sleek and thin design of the phone? And I'm not bashing here, just being curious.
