What are the hours and when should I call?
Otterbox operates the call center for this 855-688-7269 phone number Mon-Thu 7am-10pm MT. The short answer is that you should call on a Thursday. This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 342 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the Otterbox call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Otterbox phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Otterbox staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.
The least busy time to call
The least busy day to call Otterbox is Thursday. The most busy day to call is Tuesday, which averages 37% more phone calls by comparison. Again, this is based on a sample of 342 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.
- Mon
- Tue
- Busiest
- Wed
- Thu
- Quietest
The shortest wait on hold
We measured the shortest hold times to be on Tuesday. The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Monday.
The best time to call Otterbox
In summation, the best day to call Otterbox is Thursday. This is not the day with the shortest wait on hold in the phone system, but we still recommend it for its ideal combination of low call volume and short hold times. Plus we believe that Otterbox staffs the call center well on Thursday.
Why Customers Call Otterbox
If you have time to do a bit of reading before you call Otterbox, we recommend you read over some of our problem-specific articles.
Are Otterbox cases waterproof?
No, Otterbox cases are not waterproof. While they provide excellent protection against drops and scuffs, they are not designed to keep your device completely dry underwater. However, many Otterbox cases have water-resistant properties that can provide some level of protection against minor splashes, rain, or accidental spills. These cases are engineered with tight seals and precise port covers to prevent water from entering your device and causing damage. It is important to note that water resistance can diminish over time due to wear and tear, so it is always recommended to exercise caution around water. For complete waterproof protection, Otterbox offers specialized cases like the Otterbox Preserver series, designed specifically for underwater activities and capable of being submerged up to a certain depth for a limited duration.

Otterbox's return policy ensures customer satisfaction by providing a hassle-free process. Customers have 30 days from the date of purchase to return their products for a full refund or exchange. To be eligible, the item must be in its original condition with all packaging materials. Otterbox recommends customers to initiate returns through their website or contact customer service for assistance. Refunds are processed within two weeks of receiving the returned product.

Additionally, customers are responsible for return shipping costs unless specified otherwise. Otterbox strives to make the return process convenient and satisfactory for their valued customers.
Are Otterbox cases compatible with wireless charging?
Yes, Otterbox cases are compatible with wireless charging. Otterbox understands the importance of convenience and functionality. Therefore, all Otterbox cases are designed to be compatible with wireless charging technology.
