Let’s dive into OtterBox’s warranty and all its details.
Does OtterBox have a warranty policy?
Yes, OtterBox does have a warranty policy that covers manufacturing, material, or craftsmanship defects under regular use as long as the products are purchased from an authorized dealer. The length of the policy depends on the product you purchased and, in some cases, the location of your purchase.
Does OtterBox have a lifetime warranty?
No, OtterBox products do not have a lifetime warranty. It’s understandable if you thought this, as OtterBox’s policy often refers to the “lifetime of the product”, but this isn’t the same as lifetime warranty. The warranty periods of their products are below:
- OtterBox Private Collection and Limited Edition/Specialty Products: One year (Two years in EMEA region) from the original date or delivery of purchase (whichever is later)
- OtterBox Outdoor Collection Products: Five years from the original date of purchase or delivery
- OtterBox Smartphone Cases and Tablet Cases: Seven years from the original date of purchase or delivery
- OtterBox Mobile Accessories: Two years from the original date of purchase or delivery
If you miss the cut-off period for your product’s warranty, it could still be worth making a claim as for claims made within 60 days of the end of the warranty period, OtterBox will, at its discretion:
- Repair the product using new or refurbished parts
- Replace the product with a new or refurbished product
- Replace the product with a similar product, depending on availability
How do I claim an OtterBox warranty?

OtterBox aims to make the warranty process as simple as possible, so the five-step process isn’t too daunting and is definitely worth going through if your product is damaged.
