Re: OTTER BOX DEFENDER series!!!!

Just got mine.

This is much bulkier than the commuter series case. I mean, twice as thick. The rubber is grippy and it feels good in your hands. The case itself fits like a glove and fits tight n snug in the holster, but sad to say, the evo now doesn't fit in my Fortee leather custom case. Oh well.

I'm prone to dropping my phones and this will surely protect it. All in all, it's not worth the 45 bucks I paid but something is better than nothing.

Hell I live in the city they are made and I ordered mine on saturday and got it today.

As for the case, It is bulky but I actually like the design. The holster is a monster though. If 45 bucks saves this expensive phone than it is worth it IMO. Bottom line, It protects the phone and that is what the case is intended for. If anyone doesnt like the bulk then you bought it for the wrong reasons.

I finally received my case today, I am actually impressed with the case. I looks really good and I don't feel it that bulky compared to the defender I had for my blackberry bold 9650. The screen protector is actually great, and the fact that it has a plastic protector over the camera lens and l.e.d lights is awesome. The only thing I'm not to exited about is the kick stand, it feels sort of flimsy. But overall the case looks great, feels great, and offers awesome protection.

Hey, don't get me wrong, I didn't say that I didn't like the bulk. I just said it was much bulkier than the commuter series. Also, I think 45 bucks for ANY case isn't worth it, but I did say it will protect my EVO. IMO, I think the commuter series should be 19.99 and this case 29.99, considering the Trident cyclops is 26.99 at meritline. But 45 bucks for plastic and rubber is like paying 14.99 for a "hang on the rearview mirror" air freshner. LOL. But I'm satisfied with my purchase.

I see your point on the pricing. I would have to agree with you here. It is a bit steep. Guess they gotta pay for that new building being built. LOL

Re: OTTER BOX DEFENDER series!!!!

I had ordered mine on the 12th of Nov. and received it on the 16th. I dont like the fact that I have to keep re adjusting the edges on the phone to make it flush. Ive dropped mine a few times and it hits like a rock. Doesnt seem to protect as good as the iphone one. I dont think its too bulky and I think it looks nice. Over all Im happy with it. Just think the design could be a little better to hug the edges. It would also be nice if the hard plastics were not on the outside of the case.

Re: OTTER BOX DEFENDER series!!!!

I am looking for something to provide temporary protection when I am out hiking or biking. I do not mind if it adds a bit of bulk. Is this case easy to install (including the screen protector) and then remove when you do not need the extra protection?

My kickstand has a big crack on it and is just about to break off anytime now. Case is nice but the kickstand sucks, I contacted otterbox yesterday and have got no response yet either.
