OtterBox Defender Ring/Silent Switch HackThe ring/silent switch on the Apple iPhone 5 has really been a curse. It's too easy to switch off. As this phone is being used to receive critical calls, it's really undesirable to have this switch, which I haven't been able to find a way to disable in iOS. So far, I have missed several important calls, because the protective cover on the OtterBox Defender has been turning this switch off systematically. Luckily, I have studied the OtterBox Defender protective cover and discovered a modification to the rubber so that the switch would not inadvertently turn off again. In this article, I will show you this easy trick. First, take a look at the protective cover in the photo below. When you open the protective cover with your fingernail, there is a chance that the lip on the cover will silence the phone. ![]() To eliminate the possibility of silencing the phone when you are checking the switch position, the trick is to cut off the rubber lip. A pair of sharp scissors will do the trick easily. See photo below for the cut. ![]() After the cut, there is no chance that the cover will ever make the "switch" again. Related Links
