state-of-the-art testing facility, with results backed by an
independent third-party test lab. Now, with OtterBox Certified
Drop+ Protection, OtterBox lifts the veil on the rigorous testing
performed to ensure each case is dependable and durable when needed
most.

the seal of engineered confidence that demonstrates OtterBox case
designs undergo a myriad of tests to provide lasting, trusted
protection from drops, bumps, scratches and dings. At the
OtterBox design center in Fort Collins,
Colo., engineers are passionate about crafting great
products, and they put each design to the test multiple times
throughout the process.
