 Great buy. March 19, 2010
Me. Winkers (Dallas, TX)
The product was delivered in original packaging and has kept my phone secure and clean. It's very sturdy but does get dirty often so I'm constantly cleaning the case. That's a small price to pay for a safe iPhone.
 Back To The Drawing Board March 19, 2010
F. Hermann
This product has a lot of potential, but it really needs to go back to the drawing board first. On the plus side, the case is indeed very durable, probably the most durable on the market. *IF* I were to drop my iPhone, I would want nothing but an Otterbox protecting it. But that is precisely where the product's main shortcoming lies: it falls to the ground much too often. The holster does not hold the phone securely enough; consequently, an ill-placed wrist or elbow can easily send the phone flying to the ground. This happened to me just a few hours ago as I emerged from a Walmart and reached into my pocket to get my car keys. The next thing I knew, I was stooping over an asphalt pavement, praying that my phone was not irreparably damaged. Fortunately, it wasn't.
As pricey as this case is, it should have a locking mechanism to prevent such mishaps. I've also noticed two other flaws that other reviewers have commented on: the oil slick under the screen and the fact that the phone cannot be docked while in the case. Of course, in the big scheme of things, these are relatively small issues, but when you pay a premium price, you expect quality workmanship and attention to detail. Though it has potential, the Otterbox Defender needs a lot more of that attention to detail for it to become a 5-star product.
 Great protection, can't see the screen March 18, 2010
C. Schwartz
I have owned many iPhone cases and this is definitely the most protective. I bought it specifically to put my iPhone in while on a ski trip to offer additional protection in case I dropped it in the snow. Unfortunately the much talked about "oil slick" effect, coupled with outdoor light made it virtually impossible to see the screen. We took video and shot pictures without really knowing what we were aiming at. It became so annoying that I couldn't wait to get back home to put my other case back on. I tried all the tricks mentioned in other reviews to remove the oil slick but nothing worked. And don't think you'll be taking this case on and off. It's a complete pain to try to pry this thing off once it's snapped into place. I also noticed it was more difficult to hear calls. I had to position the phone just right to be able to hear. So while it gets 5 stars for protection, it gets one star for usability.
get this!! March 18, 2010

Amazing. One small word, sums it up. I am a very avid comparison shopper and very hesitant to spend alot of money on cases. I have bought 4+ cases, finally spent the cash and splurged. I am a touchy person, so I actually bought this at the apple store. Difference of twenty bucks, but apple store gives you a year warranty. This mother is a beast. I can probably throw this against the wall, and no harm will be done. Clips very nicely into the holster, very easy to use. Complaints about it being bulky, well, you either get bulky and protection, or not! It doesn't really add that much bulk, and to me it actually makes it easier to hold the phone!
I would buy this again and probably will be buying it for my brother, as he is just as rough on phones as I am. I would recommend this to everyone!
Good investment for your iphone March 17, 2010
C. Stull (New York United States)
So you've got your new iphone and it's sleek, gorgeous and can do anything. Naturally, you want to protect your investment. After looking far and wide, I went with the otterbox defender case. It's not flashy but will protect your phone better than anything else out there even drops and the occasional rainstorm. Also, the price (about $30) was reasonable for what you get. I got the yellow and black model for myself and the black one for my fiance. Comments I get on mine are usually, "what a huge phone" so it makes your phone look a bit bigger but also people don't seem to recognize it as an iphone. I suppose that makes me less of a mugging target! lol. One final thought, the rubbery outer case makes it easy to hold between cheek and shoulder when you don't have time to grab your bluetooth.
