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!!!!

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.

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.

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.

Re: OTTER BOX DEFENDER series!!!!

Just to ease everyones mind on this. Since I live in the town they are made and my company is doing the electrical for their new building, I was able to look into this. Apperently this is not a huge problem but they are aware of the issue with the kickstands being cracked or cracking. What they advise is to call and WAIT for an agent to answer, do not have them call you back or leave a message. Once you get an agent tell them that your kickstand is cracked or breaking, give them your order number if you still have it and they will ship a replacement case to you immediately and you will not have to send back the defective, all free of charge. They did so for me after I saw that mine had cracked. As of right now there is no plan on changing the stand but they will guarantee replacement if it happens again. I agree the kickstand sucks balls but as long as they continue to replace it, I will continue to use it. Its a good case other than that IMO. And I dont use the stand that much either so if it does break I'm not lost, I'll just wait for the new one, lol
